On 60 playoff games too, so almost a full season worth of games. Kawhi without chronic knee injuries is an all time what-if IMO. Are they any other examples of stars that stepped up their game this significantly in the playoffs?

How well do you think RAPTOR captures Russ' decline? Does the model underappreciate his value based on a flawed methodology, or do you think it matches the eye test?
https://theathletic.com/realtime/ItG6TOE0jo2V/ [Thompson] The Warriors missed an opportunity to rest Steph Curry vs. Spurs and the fatigue was obvious. He's played 22 of 23 games, which is on pace to play about 78. But he's 33, always working again complex defenses and physicality. And he hasn't played 70 games in a season since 2016-17.
You read that right, the last time the Giants have had a winning record at any point of the regular season was January 1st 2017 when they finished 11-5. Since then, zero(nada) weeks hoisting a winning record…not even a 1-0 record to start the season.
The #Rockets have used 4 teenagers this season, tying the 2016-17 Suns for the most in NBA history. However, the Rockets have used all 4 teenagers in the same game, which is the first time that's happened in NBA history. Tweet
> It's the NBA's eighth straight season with more than 100 international players. Toronto leads the league with 10 players from nine countries on its roster; Dallas and Oklahoma City have seven. The league record for international players is 113 at the start of the 2016-17 season.

I swear most football jerseys I've looked at in the 2016-17 season look so clean. Most of them usually just have one colour and even though it looks basic it still works very well. Bayern and Real Madrid are rocking the collars for their jersey. I really like most of the premier league kits as well. Idk why but something about the 2016-17 jerseys are just so unique and they're so good. It might just be nostalgia but is it just me?
Hello Madridistas.
Does anyone know a reliable online shop with a delivery to EU where can I buy Real Madrid parley shirt for 2016/17 season? It is much harder to buy than I originally thought.
Here is the shirt: Parley 2016-17
Erasmus turned around South Africa from 57-0 to WC champions within just 2 years, (and now B&I Lion's series winners) after overhauling their overseas selection criteria.
The Wallabies have far too much valuable experience & young talent playing overseas that aren't available for national selection.
If Australian Rugby & Dave Rennie want to be serious about actually contending with the top 4-5 sides come 2023, they need to make all foreign-based players eligible to play for Australia, period.
As rugby is our fourth game (at best) the Wallabies simply need to win, but you cannot do that by applying rules that do not reflect reality. We simply don't have the depth of players playing in Australia currently to be properly competitive.
Latu, McMahon, Kerevi, Cornelsen, Riley, Tomane, Fardy, Skelton, Douglas, Arnold, Coleman, Hockings, Curtis Rona & Luke Morahan (for example, to name a few..) would all be of great value to a Wallabies 30-35 man squad right now.
Assume the Bulls go 40-42 instead, losing their game against the Spurs on December 8th instead of winning it (the Spurs going 62-20 instead of 61-21 has no effect on the standings in the West), and all series not involving the Heat or go the same way, so the Heat would've faced the prime IT Celtics in the 1st round, who faced the Beal/Wall Wizards in the ECSF and lost to the 2017 Cavs in the ECF in 5 games.
I think that the Heat beat the Celtics (who got taken to 6 by the Bulls) and Wizards but get swept by the Cavs, if they can keep their momentum going.
Very good article on the new rule changes by FiveThirtyEight for three pointers, but something that really stood out was the table on top 10 players to draw fouls on threes since 2016-17.
James Harden is obviously at #1, followed by Dame, but at #10 is no other than Big Booty Lowry himself. I knew he was good, but not that good.
Steph averaged 4.2 threes in the 2017 season while he is averaging 5.4 this season(the most in NBA history). This season puts him 4th in most threes made in a season

I mentioned in a r/nba thread that Lowry had an argument to be considered the best PG in the East that season and argued that he had a better regular season than Wall and got downvoted a ton. Apparently not a lot of people over there share the same sentiment.
Here is how they compared. Without a doubt Lowry’s best statistical year of his career.
Lowry:
22.4 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 7.0 APG on 46/41/81 with a usage rate of 24.9%
Wall: 23.1 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 10.7 APG on 45/32/80 with a usage rate of 30.5%
I lean Kyle due to having a lower usage rate, still having comparable stats, while being able to contribute as an off-ball threat, while also being the better defender and shooter.
What do ya’ll think?
So I’m playing 2k with my friend and I’m running with the Hawks, and he starts talking about how the Hawks are kind of built the same way the 2016-17 Boston Celtics were. Led by a point guard that has bad defense but is pretty much a offensive machine and has defensive pieces around them to cover up that weakness. He said a bold statement that if IT was replaced with Trae Young that season they would do better. At first I thought it was crazy but now that I thought more and more about it I kinda wonder how the 2016-17 Celtics would do if they had Trae Young instead of IT4. What do y’all think? Would the Celtics do better or worse?
