Re: 2010-2011 NBA Thread

Funk kept mentioning that there were "great seats still available" for our home opener on Saturday too.

 

Yeah, but at least the Bulls aren't any good.

[tfarks]

Is there such a thing as a hot streak in the NBA?

 

If a player makes 10 shots in a row, thats a statistical probability, albeit small, correct? So how do you explain that a player feeling the "hot hand" or "in the zone" isn't on a hot streak. Does someone who shoots 50% have a higher percentage to hit his 5th shot after hes hit his 4th because he's feeling really good (like kobe scoring 81), or is it still 50% and the "heating up" is just not as important as people tend to believe? Is that just some type of psychological bias (kyle here?).

- Here's an article called "The Death of the Hot Hand" where statisticians tracked every shot of the 76ers in the 1980-81 season. Is this a bad way to define the hot hand?

We didn't sign LeBron James and Chris Bosh this offseason. The Bulls actually supposedly sold several hundred season tickets in June based on the speculation of the Bulls signing LeBron, including a guy I work with, so I have no doubt we'd be beyond sold out for the home debut of these guys, whether it was on Saturday night or Tuesday morning.

Oh, I know. Not saying I disagree with you. Just found it odd that a team that has sold out as many games as we have is having trouble getting a full house for opening night on a weekend.

I gotta go back and watch that Golden State-Houston game. If you try hard, we can call Lee, Ellis and Curry Run DMC!

lol @ the pistons' frontcourt

this miami crowd is PATHETIC. that place is deadddd

Hey Ben has become a decent player again. Daye had a great preseason but he's scared to death now and can't defend or rebound anyways.

 

The Jonas Jerebko injury was huge. Which is never a good sign.

[ELCABALLO45]

Bucks looking bad right now. Really bad

[SouthSideRyan]

And there's the triple double for Rondo.

 

24 assists on the night.

 

We are all witnesses.

[17 Seconds]

but rose scored 28 on 54 shots

[ELCABALLO45]

Holy crap Rondo

[ELCABALLO45]

I forgot how much I hate NBA refs.

[SpongeWorthy]

lol Detroit lol

[SpongeWorthy]

OKC shot 44 free throws again.

 

Phil Jackson was totally spot on when he called Durant a good actor on the offensive end. It's shameful.

[hawkeyecub]

Eff that. Green didn't do [expletive] all night. Ben and Stuck were money all night and Durant didn't have a great game. Just too many turnovers.

[SpongeWorthy]

I saw at least 3 or 4 fraudulent calls go against the Pistons when I turned the game on. It appears the prime directive from the league office is to put OKC on the map by giving them absolute trash calls.

lol did you type this with your vagina

 

MVP: Ben Gordon. Way to dribble out the clock.

[SpongeWorthy]

At this point I'm a lone nut ranting about Kevin Durant's treatment from the refs but as OKC gets more and more national coverage it'll become apparent that he's the offensive version of Vlade Divac. KG and Phil already know what's up.

 

OKC: 91 free throw attempts

OKC's opponents: 42 free throw attempts

 

That ain't right.

[imb]

the pistons do nothing but shoot jumpers. You're really surprised a team with ben gordon, charlie villaneuva and rip hamilton didn't shoot more FTs?

[17 Seconds]

i was thinking the same thing. what is the best for the nba? for durant and the thunder to emerge as the anti-heat. the "good guys".

 

i expect them to get a ton of calls all season long.

 

kg said it best-

russell westbrook 10 free throws! what in the world, david stern and his pro-westbrook bias!

even jvg, jackson & co (who were on durant/westbrook's nuts all last night) kept calling out the terrible calls from last nights game. it was embarrassing.

 

i didn't see tonight's game, but if it was anything like the [expletive] calls they were getting against the bulls, the thunder are going to easily be a top 2 seed.

There was one ridiculous play with a minute or two left where Westbrook lost control literally 10 feet away from the basket, flew into a guy in the restricted circle, and ended up shooting 2 FTs for it.

[imb]

in the bulls game there were some awful calls, but that's what happens to a degree when you have a team that constantly runs the floor and gets to the basket. it's easy to forget that when you watch deng and keith bogans shoot 18 footers all game long, i guess.
