Re: MLB 2016
Not that I'm aware of. But I think it will come around again. That's how it worked a long time ago. We can thank Tony La Russa for the way it works now, I guess.The G Man wrote: Star relievers should be used in late game high leverage situations but do any managers today actually do that?

Re: NBA Offseason 2016
I like the entertainment value of sports, music, movies and everything else, but I go for the geekier aspects more. I think there's also a non-conformist component to that for me, and probably some elitism as well. So I love car chases and explosions, but I want my Tarkovsky. I like a good hook, but...

If Wade leaves Miami specifically to spite Riley, I may start liking him.

Re: NBA Offseason 2016
Today's Chronicle's Top Ten Reasons NOT to pursue and sign KD: http://blog.sfgate.com/warriors/2016/06/22/10-reasons-why-the-warriors-should-not-sign-kevin-durant/ That reads almost like clickbait-level journalism, tho. I was unsure about signing Durant earlier, but at this point, man, seems like t...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2016
dunno, who knows what would have happened if Curry doesn't get hurt in the first round, then Bogut, then Iguodala? if they stay healthy through the playoffs, I think they win it all pretty easily again. Agreed. I think they probably would have won. And I also agree with his general conclusion that ...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2016
Congrats, Cap! That was long overdue. Condolences to sdcs. Tough one but the Ws will be back next season. I was reading a Tweet from Joe Sheehan about how random the outcome of this series was, which normally I might agree with, but I think he's wrong here. His point is that the regular season team ...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2016
Yeah, I'd love to see the sources and supporting data for that. I've always kind of gone with Mone's take from like 10 years ago, which is that officiating was only one of many factors in home advantage. But if officiating is the main thing, then I'm not surprised. So Scott Foster was voted by playe...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2016
Not necessarily. I'm just saying that officiating in general decides games between closely-matched teams as much as the players do. Maybe more.Captain Hate wrote:Are you saying expect the Cavs to be called for 3 or 4 grabbing and holding fouls in the first minute of game 7?

Re: NBA Playoffs 2016
My position hasn't wavered on this since 2006: Officiating decides NBA playoff series. When the teams are relatively evenly-matched, the officiating is the biggest determining factor in which team wins.walto wrote: Amazing how differently one game is called from the next.

Re: NHL Offseason 2016
Big offseason moment coming up today for Detroit with Datsyuk presumably announcing his retirement from the NHL to play in Russia. That leaves the Wings in a tough spot with one year left on Datsyuk's contract counting against the salary cap. There's some talk the Wings might trade him to a team he'...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2016
If the Warriors lose game 7, they will have lost as many games in the playoffs (9) as they did during the 82-game regular season.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2016
Yes, those are two different things.
I guess I'm also kind of bored with the forecasting models. I mean, outside of gambling, telling me that a team has a 21% chance of winning one game is not especially useful.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2016
Of the 32 teams who have been down 3-1 in the NBA Finals, only two have forced a Game #7, the Knicks in '51 and the Lakers in '66, both losing in Game #7. The Cavs are given a 21% chance to win the series, per Betfair and Bovada. I don't see the value in limiting the results to the Finals. Seems li...

Re: NBA Playoffs 2016
Is Curry only an MVP during the regular season when the refs call a tighter game? Just like LeBron got a lot of scrutiny after game two, it's time for Curry to get some. He seemed like he was in a stupor during the game. This is what I've been asking out loud. I'm not convinced it's just health at ...
