I always get a kick out of "Player can play D when he wants to." Just say he's not a good defender. They're probably not going to read/hear what you're saying.

Idiots claiming "he finally learned how to shoot" after a guy hits 40% of his threes over a 10 game stretch

My dad is 79. Literally every time he's watched a game with me the past 37 years he's mentioned "he really needs to attack the basket" without having any idea what it means. Apparently it is just said so damn much he picked it up.

"So and so is better because of the eye test"

Can't think of a more subjective way to compare players

I prefer the eye test over advanced stats BS

RAPTOR has Alex Caruso as a top 10 NBA player.

When a player does bad and their fans say “he wasn’t even trying”

“They just didn’t want it hard enough to win tonight.”

Competing without a top 3 pick is pointless. Often brought up in the Process years.

Now three teams build on late lottery picks won it all and Philly is looking at the shambles of their arrogance.

Everyone coming to the league is a unicorn.

“It’s a make or miss league” no shit, you win if you score more.

That an increase of 2% on 3pt shooting would make a player useful, good, great,... While the player shoots no more than 1.5 3 pointers per game and the percentage increase would be of one or two makes for the whole season.

Steven Adams being a proud Kiwi but he never ever played once for the Tall Blacks because they refused to buy him shoes when he was 15.
