>>66892361
the Ubermensch/Leo da Vinci thing is really hardcore; I would actually give it a try only if I wanted really badly to save as much time as possible to do something really big- like have a full time job and write a book at the same time...
2/10 hrs is just an average, I have gone for the Piraha approach when you basically sleep whenever you feel like it; first few weeks you feel awkward but then it's OK. In my case it makes me feel way more relaxed.
>>66892535
My sleeping has always been erratic, so I thought polyphasic sleeping would help.
After going to university and having playoffs during exam season, I realised that I'm just nocturnal instead.
>>66892435
it's perfectly healthy once you get past the first few weeks, sleeping in phases means that you only get the important bits of sleep you need (and there's a theory that humans are naturally biphasic sleepers), military manuals will advise sleeping like this in situations where you won't get much at all

>Young was also accused of sexual harassment last month—along with another very promising young player, Jordan Clarkson, whom one assumes Swaggy was also mentoring—and few in the team or in the media seemed to notice or care.
Gotta take issue with this part at the very least. It's common knowledge at this point that the lady knew exactly who they were, had interviewed Nick Young before, and had proceeded to lie in order to create controversy for her sexual harassment athlete program. The charges were nonsense, which is why it went nowhere.
> ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith—the same Stephen A. Smith who was suspended from ESPN for blaming battered women for “provoking” male violence
And there they go again. All he said in his remark was, in essence, "protect yourselves, because punishing criminals doesn't change the fact that there was already a victim".
>This isn’t analysis. It’s codified, well-compensated misogyny.
>misogyny
I'm not fond of the term, but this is "SJW" journalism at its finest. His core point about Russell being young and making a mistake is fine, there's nothing wrong with believing he should be confronted in a quieter manner, and it's fine to take issue with "bro code" itself, but it's buried under paragraph after paragraph of derivative garbage.
I can't stand writers like that.
>>66892348
No interviews yet to my knowledge, but the usual names have been coming up. McHale, Jackson, Vinny Del Negro, Thibs, Brooks, etc. I figure they'll take someone safe and established this time.
>>66892660
I think thibs could provide structure that cousins needs
>>66892640
>shit, someone who actually reads articles not just the title
i dont like the SJW style either
and you might be right that Young is treated unfairly in the article- I just dont know enough about this
but for me the important issue is that this; Russell is the best asset LAL has right now. It would be a very bad move on the front office's part to penalize him (in any way) for this. Unless they land another big prospect in this year's draft, Russell is their building block for the foreseeable future. And esp. now that Kobe has retired, I expect him to literally become the team leader starting next season.
>>66892660
Would be rly cool if Divac went for a Serbian coach; if they took Maljkovich I will be literally watching every game next season. A man can only dream.

We already got a preview of that in the second half with Ross leaving him wide open. The answer is more Powell, but of course Casey is a retard.
>>66893570
I never liked Casey to be honest. His bullshit with James Johnson last year just sealed it. Are they scared they won't find a good coach or do they actually think this guy will get them anywhere?

I genuinely would rather see Norman Powell driving to the rim for 48 minutes on Monta Ellis than see whatever the fuck derozan and Casey thought was working. Did they forget pg13 is a lockdown defender or something? Some of the worst basketball I've seen all season.

I saw him get some good elevation layer in the game after he walked it off, but I can see Casey holding him out as a precaution. Which would be weird since he started the second half and played very well. I honestly think this is just Casey's rookie bias.

pretty sure he knew Spanish too though
Was in all those countries when he was young in ww2
>>66894544
Haha I don't think he knows anyone in England, a lot of his cousins live in Canada tho
His story is really common tho, after the war in Beirut there was really nothing to do so a bunch of young kids started to leave Lebanon. My dad describes it as just really damn boring, the arcade they used to hang out at was destroyed so there wasn't much to do so he moved to Baltimore with like 500 bucks
Idk my dad's like 5'6 balding kinda chubby no beard or anything
>>66892716
>It would be a very bad move on the front office's part to penalize him (in any way) for this.
Agreed. It's a rough situation though. If you don't discipline him, you end up with a diva. If you discipline him to much, you delay his rise to being The Guy. I think they did an okay job handling it and, unpopular as it may be, Byron Scott is exactly the guy to get him where he needs to be mentally.
Hopefully this ends up being a good experience for him. Shitty as it may feel, you need to grow up fast if you're gonna be a star in LA.
>>66894041
Longer you wait the harder it gets. Even if you can only spare like 15-30 minutes a day, it's worth picking up a textbook and trying to make some progress. If you spoke it as a kid, I bet you'll make progress faster than you think.

Reminds me of the grandpa of a French Jewish friend. His grandfather from czarist Poland. Fought in the Spanish Civil War with the international brigades. Travelled a lot during the 30s and 40s. Then, returned to postwar Poland and worked for the Communist Party. Liquidated after Khrushchev's Thaw under awkward circumstances.

>He recalled playing Candy Land with her when she was three, and confronting the inevitable question of whether or not to let her win. 'You know it's my move,' he said.

"Baaaaa!" I was like, "S*** the kid's like me. Damn it."
>He added that he’d faced a similar situation with Natalia, several years earlier. She responded by giving him the silent treatment for two days and then asking for a rematch: a slower burn.
>>66894871
kek
i doubt he'll spend much time at home
i think the experience is common among most children of NBA stars with super-inflated egos.
I remember Jordan saying in an interview that he literally said to his kids 'there is only one Michael Jordan', kind of, you now son, you might be OK, but you'll never be as cool as your dad.

he's a 30+yo pg relegated to an sg role. has bursts of speed that serve him well for backdoor cuts, but takes kobr j's most of the time with higher efficiency. he would be a starter in a 7 or 8seed team. id take him as my bench's sg.

Really versatile player, probably one of the best post-up games of any guard.
>>66895083
It's impressive that they made the playoffs though. Even though they'll probably never win a title no one can say they aren't tough
YOU NOW REMEMBER ANDREW BOGUT WAS THE #1 OVERALL PICK IN 2005

With good reason. Healthy Bogut was so fucking good, would've been the best Center in the league in his prime if he didn't go through all those injuries.

>>66895702
my point was how the fuck can you build a championship team with a top pick?
On top of my head, I cannot think of *any* other championship team without a top-5 draft as one of its 3 best players.
>2004 Pistons: Billups
>2011 Mavs: Kidd
Most other teams (LAL and BOS in the 80s for example, MIA more recently) had multiple top picks as starters.
It's p amazing what GSW achieved in these terms.
>>66895907
ah yes good point
thing is GSW can lose both Bogut and Livingston and still be contenders. Their core is Curry, Green and Thompson.
>>66896085
>>66896131
that's what I thought, gonna check it
>>66896131
for real? ima spurs fan and id take livingston over danny green or patty mills any day. bring it on. trading bogut for anyone less than a drummond type body would be a retrograde, did you see okc's off. rebound% in the last game?
>>66896131
>>66896085
checked until 82-83, every team had a top 5 pick
will maybe continue it later
>>66894155
Slice a throat?
>>66896942
these are all valid points, they both are good players, but they are not IMO the best players in their team; in the way that other top picks were in their teams (say Jason Kidd in the Mavs or DWade in Miami)
>>66897078
kek, thanks that's p cool.
>>66896942
senpai are you gonna be in the game thread later?
>>66897172
what is best apart from how well or poorly a player matches up against competition? i mean a curry/thompson/green backcourt isn't invincible, any one of them could be the target of a mismatch with 800 players to choose from. i dunno, i think the way some teams are built & play (Spurs, Gs, Hawks, Cs) are more than the sum of their parts that transcends the spotcheck analysis you're running.
>>66897266
Sup bro, I plan to, I wanna to see how our offense is doing. But im also drinking right now so we'll see. GSG.
I think Lebron has more natural talent than MJ. Lebron went into the NBA straight out of high school, while MJ played college ball.

No, timeouts are almost always fully used because it gives your team time to rest and not run almost continuously.
There's zero reason not to use all your timeouts in a game. Stagger them throughout the game and make sure your guys get their rest and a play to guarantee a score, save the last one for a possible fuck up in the last seconds. Done.

kek I love the revisionist history hipsters that love KG. fake tough guy faggot never did shit before his super team
>>66899912
>basketball isn't a team sport
>>66899902
the issue is that these timeouts are mandatory and taken by the officials at certain pre-set times
>There must be two 100-second timeouts in the first and third periods and three 100-second timeouts in the second and fourth periods. If neither team has taken a timeout prior to 5:59 of the first or third period, it shall
be mandatory for the Official Scorer to take it at the first dead ball and charge it to the home team. If no subsequent timeouts are taken prior to 2:59, it shall be mandatory for the Official Scorer to take it and charge it to the team not previously charged. If neither team has taken a timeout prior to 8:59 of the second or fourth period, a mandatory timeout will be called by the Official Scorer and charged to neither team. If there are no subsequent timeouts taken prior to 5:59, it shall be mandatory for the Official Scorer to take it at the first dead ball and charge it to the home team. If no subsequent timeouts are taken prior to 2:59, it shall be mandatory for the Official Scorer to take it and charge it to the team not previously charged. The Official Scorer shall notify a team when it has been charged with a mandatory timeout. Any additional timeouts in a period beyond those which are mandatory shall be 60 seconds.
they're not at the coach's disposal. these are media timeouts to maximize commercial appeal. basketball certainly isn't as bad as football in this regard, but what's the point in denying this is what it is?

>there are people ITT RIGHT NOW, who don't believe Curry is the GOAT
>>66899979
It is at the coaches disposal as they can decide when it is and isn't taken still. But regardless of any TV deal they would have taken the timeout. It's part of the game and you see it in all levels of basketball, including ones that do not have TV deals or are even broadcasted.
It's a essential part of coaching basketball. The timeout is the coaches biggest weapon during a game.
The only reason that is a thing is because the TV deal only came into existence BECAUSE basketball was already doing this with timeouts.
It's the same reason why people take so long to take foul shots. They're intentionally delaying the game as much as possible to allow their teammates to take a standing rest.
Basketball is a continuous sprint back and forth and there is no rest in between because you now have to play hard on defense or offense.
One of the reasons some players don't even play defense is because they're focusing their energy on offense. This is one of the cheap ways of using the game and one that Harden is heavily criticized for along with his abuse of tricking refs and abusing the fouling system.

look you can rationalize it all you want and i agree with basically anything in your post that is unrelated to the argument (which is the bulk of the post), but if a coach hasn't taken his timeouts within the designated periods, the officials will take them and dock them a TO so they can cut to the ads. again, other sports have it worse, but this is clearly commercially motivated. and there's literally nothing wrong with acknowledging it.
the games aren't the ad-free sanctuaries people feel the need to defend from the onslaught of 2.5 by 2.5 patches.
>>66900226
ehm that's interesting. so you are saying it happens to the Bucks in the 2007 draft? Still:
>something happened before
>same something will affect what happens in the future
this is p much the definition gambler's fallacy
It *might* happen but it is literally four times more likely we get the first pick (15.6%).
Unless you think the ping pong balls thing is a fraud, there is no reason to focus on the worst possible scenario.

before his championship:
>MVP
>11 times all star
>8 times all nba
>6 all defensive first team
>took shitty TWolves team to the playoffs 8 times in a row
>took them to the Conference Finals with only 1 other good player (Cassell)
I'm so fucking excited for the Pistons tonight lads.
I've never watched Detroit play a live playoff game, and it's on TV here. Fucking hype af.
>>66900388
Pistons fan?

>assists don't matter between a PG and a SG
>but somehow rebounds matter between a SG and a PG
lmao
>>66900388
>>66900444
PG can get just as many as a SG dummy. PG's actually have an advantage by needing to stay on the defensive end longer than a SG who needs to leave to the other half to set an offense while the PG walks it up the court.
>>66900388
Get ready for Lebron getting 30+ and a blowout game
lads guess who's the worst rebounder in the nba (rebounds per x possessions)
>>66900519
SG's are taller though
>>66900520
you just gotta believ mane
>>66900536
That's irrelevant when you're no where near the board while the PG is catching the long rebound from a three point shot.
More PG's average higher rebounds than SG's.
>>66900536
this is really hard to guess sedu
i ll just say redick to throw in a name
>>66900593

There are more SGs on the list

Westbrook?
Harden has surprisingly low TOV% (around 55th worst in the league iirc)
>>66900782
>Westbrook
That guy is a monster.
>>66900782
westbrook is a SG
>>66900832
>westbrook
bingo!
worth checking out who is second tho
>>66900782
out of the players who played at least 57 games, PGs average 2.9trb and SGs average 2.8
>>66900860
>Westbrook is a SG
>>66900949
In addition, your argument was disingenuous from the start because MJ played closer to the basket than Steph, so you're actually making Steph look better.
>>66900923
yeah, but

literally goat
>>66900982
Idiot, the game has changed so rebounds are farther from the basket due to three point shots.
The ball bounces from the basket with greater force due to a missed three point shot than a two point shot. And in Jordan's era you needed to get closer to the basket for a rebound than today's game where you see guards getting rebounds more than PF these days who are banished to the three point line as a stretch 4.
One of the reasons Rodman's career fell off after his Bulls days because the game was changing towards that.
>>66900995
yep, that's a better metric for turnovers
not surprised with rondo and rubio, they value highlights over efficiency
Evan Turner tho is much better than expected, I expected he would be top 20-30
>>66898818
>>66898601
The West is terrible this year while surprisingly the East is good.
>>66901080
>the ball rebounds to the fucking 3 point line and not the midrange, where Jordan lived
>One of the reasons Rodman's career fell off after his Bulls days because the game was changing towards that.
or maybe it was because he was old
>>66901092
The one that surprised me the most is dirk, he's around 200/260

Freak Out is good, might be my favorite
Not that big of a Zappa fan though, maybe I'll revisit it
>>66901326
it's okay man, the 2016 playoffs are way too early for you guys. you're ahead of schedule. you'll have better runs before long.
>>66901357

>>66901199
I definitely want to see that
>>66901365
the think with FZ is that he was super ambitious, which often back fired.
For instance, some of his orchestral work is borderline crap. Sounds like a geek who keeps trying to impress others.
But on the bright side, he has recorded so much and so many different genres that there is something for every taste.
g2g will be back for based Drummond inb4 they will lose but hope for an epic battle
Did we find the formula to stop Harden?
