Suns have a rating of 1736 full strength, highest in the NBA right now

last year the Celtics who swept the 76ers were at 1609, which is a pretty significant gap in talent

also the Nuggets are missing 2 key role players in addition to Murray. the 76ers had everyone except Simmons

3 of the Nuggets 5 best players are out...

This is about as far as Jokic can carry a team that has Facu Campazzo and Austin Rivers as their starting backcourt


The SSBBWGiantessLover rating scale or what the fuck are we talking about here.

And how is any of that relevant. Neither was expected to win vs the stronger opponents but only one will get criticized for getting swept while every other excuse in the world comes up for the other guy.

combined team RAPTOR rating from 538 project

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2021-nba-predictions/

missing 3/5 starters > missing 1 starter

superior quality of opponent > getting swept by the same team that barely scraped into the playoffs the following season

Yeah but then you realize Al Horford and Josh Richardson counts as negative -1 starters and basically Embiid was playing 2 vs 7.

Curry is a better fit because of spacing but I don't really think Richardson is some net negative player, its just that Dallas has even less spacing next to Luka so I don't really get the appeal for them to have traded Curry in the first place

This is what happens when you give the MVP to the guy for attendance.


Said guy averaged 26.4/10.8/8.3 on 56.6/38.8/86.8 shooting, finished #1 in PER. He didn't win because of attendance but it didn't hurt he didn't spend 30% of his games in street clothes.

Sir, this is a d2jsp basketball thread, we're not trying to be rational here.
