In the regular season, he allowed only 0.73 points per isolation possession, according to Synergy data. That’s the second-best mark in the league among players who defended at least one iso per game—and the best among big men, just ahead of Evan Mobley, Bam Adebayo, and Davis, who are all celebrated for their mobility. Across his career, Gobert...

lebron's system of ball-dominance is inferior to curry, duncan, mj or kobe's system of ball movement, so it won much less and was extremely beatable by many opponents

Luka has led the NBA in isolation points in each of the past two seasons. (Were NBA peers and analysts mocking Anthony Davis when he allowed a Jamal Murray buzzer-beater in the first round this spring?)

Gobert dropped to corral a Doncic pick-and-roll, rotated to cut off P.J. Washington’s path to a dunk, and rose with perfect verticality. Washington missed the contested layup, and Minnesota retained its five-point advantage. These forgotten plays won’t show up on highlight reels, but they add up over the course of a game and series and season.

I think the Bulls would eek it out because the Spurs were inexperienced (well mostly Duncan) and David Robinson was never really the same player again after his injury.
I also think the Bulls would've added an impact player because Rodman was declining.

Gobert’s opponents always take far fewer shots at the rim and many more shots in the midrange, which offers at least one data point that other players fear his rim defense, even if their words and mannerisms suggest they don’t.

That series will always be remembered for Terance Mann’s 39-point outburst in the clincher, though that was much more the fault of Utah’s subpar perimeter defenders than of Gobert, who was essentially playing one-on-five on defense.

But this data reveals with clarity that across two teams, five seasons, and many opponents, Gobert has consistently provided a major playoff boost. Almost every star makes his team better, but Gobert makes his team a lot better when he takes the court.

he has a long track record of improving his team’s performance in the postseason. In the playoffs in the 2020s, Gobert’s teams have been 14.6 points better with him on the floor versus off, based on an analysis of Cleaning the Glass data. That’s the sixth-best mark out of 56 players with at least 1,000 playoff minutes in the past half decade.

In theory, Gobert should be a replaceable member of Minnesota’s rotation, especially because Tim Connelly built a roster with three starting-quality centers. But in practice, neither Towns nor Naz Reid has capably defended the rim without Gobert as a security blanket. The Mavericks are shooting a blistering 83 percent at the rim when Gobert is off...

LeBron, Wade, Bosh were all using in Miami, probably Wade got them into it.
Bosh retiring due to blood clots is a tell tale sign of EPO use.
Wade's jaw line ... nuff said.
LeBron "taking a vacation" in-season from the Cavs to Miami to "rejuvenate" and various other links to Balco etc. are all sus as f*ck.

. Dallas is scoring 109.9 points per 100 possessions when Gobert is on the court in this series; that’s the rough equivalent of the Wizards’ 25th-ranked output in the regular season. But when Gobert is off the court, the Mavericks’ offensive rating rockets up to 127.4—five points better than the Celtics’ record-setting regular-season mark.

That trend has even held firm as Minnesota has fallen behind 3-1 in the conference finals. The Timberwolves are still winning his minutes against the Mavericks; in fact, Gobert is the only Wolves starter with a positive point differential in the series, as Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns have struggled to match Dallas’s star production. –...

Among Wolves rotation players, Gobert had the best on/off differential in the regular season. He also had the best on/off differential in the first round against the Suns. And he had the second-best differential in the second round against the Nuggets (behind Mike Conley), even though he missed Minnesota’s 26-point win in Game 2 of that series. In...

Yet, despite all the Sturm und Drang, despite all the memes and mockery, Gobert is an incredibly valuable member of the Minnesota squad, which is making its first conference finals appearance in 20 years. The subject of a much-derided trade is now the linchpin of the league’s best defense and a central component of its winning formula. He checks...

To be clear moving forward, I am not an atheist. But to answer this last question, I literally just attempted my answer. The brain stores millions of bits of information and as it short-circuits in the end it makes sense that the things that matter most, or are the most powerful, would be in the forefront.

Well like I said I pictured them in place of the Pacers this year due to playstyle and thought they could have a similar run to what the Pacers had and even wind up in the Finals.
If they were replacing the rockets and going through the Western Conference things would probably be different

What makes you believe they are hallucinations? They might be described as hallucinations to you, but to the dying, why is it so hard to believe that it is the spiritual realm appearing to your loved one? What scientific connection is there between the brain forming hallucinations of loved ones as we die?

When people are dying how does the mind know to separate the ones that are still alive from the ones that have died? People that have near death experiences never see living loved ones.
For me that isn't even the biggest head scratcher. Many people that have near death experiences are able to recite entire conversations that not only the doctor...

Well you’re not dying. You’ll typically dream about something that occupies your mind and as you’re dying your loved ones will probably be top of the list.
I had a relative die recently and towards the end he would be conscious but fade into hallucinations, often that his siblings were present. It’s a low hanging fruit of one’s subconscious,...

Yeah they're boring but they play a winning brand of basketball. The advantage of having a bunch of really good players but no superstars is consistency

I remember playing a starting guard at rutgers at the Livingston gym when I was 18 and a 6"4 string bean and he was an alumni probably in his mid 20s black guy and we played 1v1. He beat me, but I scored a couple of buckets on him. With such lopsided odds this isn't impossible. If it were vs like Lebron or some other super athlete... no. I don't...
