Over time, Theseus repaired his ship until every piece of it was replaced. Was it still the same ship?

Agreed. For starters, are we talking about if the two teams/players in question squared up against one another? Or are we talking about domination during their era? It’s not fair to someone in the 70s that the game has evolved. In many ways, the greats from eras past are partly responsible for the amazing…

This is the first time I’ve seen the Dream Team vs. Warriors hypothetical, and I love it. It is a HELL of a lot more interesting than the tired Warriors vs. 96 Bulls, which is ultimately a “different era/different styles/different team construction” situation where it’s sort of impossible to come up with anything…

Can’t edit other post for some reason but messed around on NBA Savant and it shows that Steph was more efficient on layups and dunks though Kyrie made and attempted more, without accounting for traffic or lack thereof in the case of fastbreak. Very superficial look at it but wish there was a way to get tracking data…

He also misses spectacular shots. He only takes spectacular shots!

Even in the first quarter, the difference was stark. The Cavs came out hot, were pushing the action, doing awesome things. Then the Warriors have a couple of quick passes and flicks of the wrist and look at that, it’s tied. Oh wait, they’re in the lead now.

They might be out of rhythm. Golden State tends to have ball movement and off-ball action on any given position, while Cleveland was all drive-and-kicks yesterday.

The Cavs were making incredibly difficult shots all night, they were lucky to be in the game in the first place with the quality of shots they were forced to take.

Warriors still win, but in 6. They should have won last year, but Draymond couldn’t stop kicking people in the balls, and apparently Andrew Bogut was tearing the team apart with all his conspiracy theories.

He didn’t want to play in OKC anymore. He went to a better, more fun team. People get an asterisk for cheating, not for playing with other good players and choosing the best team available in free agency.

There was a pretty unique confluence of events that allowed GS to sign KD, including a cap spike of fortuitous timing and having Curry signed on a below-market value due to injury timing. It is not the norm.

People keep saying “the only thing that matters is the championship.” When you set that goal as the only thing that matters, then that’s what people will chase.

Using the Steph-Klay-Iggy-Durant-Green lineup sparingly does keep Cleveland off balance. With less opportunity to counter it, the Cavs are left clueless with how to match up. The effect was almost immediate when he brought Dray back into the game last night. Plus, they’re bench is a strength - especially against these…

Almost, almost went and did...what? Lose in 5?

One thing that is pretty straightforward is that male athletes destroy female athletes in almost every competitive category. The USWNT regularly loses scrimmages against boys U17 teams, and most woman’s track and field records are comparable with boys middle school records.

I give you exhibit A.

96 rules include a short three point line. Good luck stopping the Warriors when every three is a corner three

So going unnoticed in this whole thing is the apparent fact that somebody in this organization wants to fuck the number 8.

Since October is the tenth month of the calendar year, and a 10 looks tantalizingly similar to a skinny woman standing next to a fat chick, we are going to allow every skinny woman free entry if she brings a ticket-buying fat chick.
