As to basketball, I thought I understood it until I came here. I even thought I understood after I came here. Now I know I don’t really at all. I’m not into researching advanced stats so I come here to get the real story and am indebted to the hard working posters I encounter here. I appreciate the way it’s conveyed, with great writing, humor, and commiseration. Thanks all.

Is Tobias Harris miscast as a small forward? He’s going to have to play there for the Sixers and I just wonder if that’s a good fit for him or not. I am trying to figure out if Philly’s roster changes are going to work out. I like Josh Richardson, and I really dig Al Horford, but I just don’t know if they make up for the loss of Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick. It feels like they’re still missing a little bit of shooting as Richardson is just not the shooter that Redick is. However, Richardson is a much (much) better defender than Redick and he is not an awful ball-handler, either. So they definitely improve in that area (plus Horford’s strong defense).

Also, is Raul Neto a good enough back-up point guard?

All together, I think the Sixers probably are right there with the Raptors for the best team in the Atlantic (if Toronto brings Kawhi back, that is). I don’t like Boston’s squad as much, as they’re way too thin in the frontcourt (and their big backcourt addition, Kemba Walker, tends to do the most damage with the ball in his hand while Stevens likes to see the ball move around more than that, so it seems like an odd fit, except for the general “Kemba Walker is so good that he will work even in a miscast position” approach, which is probably fair enough).

How douchey is it that the 2008 Celtics are still salty about Ray Allen signing with the Heat? For serious, dudes?

The haircut might hurt his shooting and it might be one of the reasons or the biggest reason why he got rid of it, but I trust the guy to be capable of figuring this out by himself. We can’t really know if it was a big issue.

Cool stuff ! I’d call it Alternative Power Jangle Pop/Rock.

At our first show, a guy in another band called us “a cross between Creedence Clearwater Revival and Husker Du.” I’m not sure if that was meant to be a compliment or mockery, but I’ll take it!

Also, thanks to you all who checked it out. The video now has over 100 views, so it is a certifiable smash hit!

Oh god I know you’re obviously joking, but for a while a lot of people on Reddit argued this idiocy that he was a bad shooter because his hair got in the way, and that his team should force him to shave his head. It was one of those rare combination of stupidity and manifestations of casual racism under the guise of a “meme” that only Reddit can come up with.
