Does anyone know if the NBALP Free Preview is still going or has COX messed up and canceled it on my billing but left it turned on?

i just know the internet version free preview ended on wednesday – don’t know if the tv one ended along with it though

by Tanner Steidel on Nov 8, 2009 9:42 AM PST up reply actions  

Usually they coincide, so I’m at free basketball until COX sends an ‘update’ to boxes (no big surprise, usually when they make a mistake I tell them) – so until my box resets I get league pass, that’s nice…something to listen to while i study MySQL, learn more about retrosheet and BDB and try to find ‘free’ basketball data :)

you’re always doing something crazy.

Course I did, they need to start developing the back story more…he’s not a sharp a dresser as michael westin, but dude does his own style.

It’s not crazy – it’s just that if you find your ‘passion’ at 37 you gotta move fast so you can figure out how to start doing it for a living and find a way to teach yourslef a lot of crap

i’m 60 pages in to simmons book. you should give it a chance.

by Jordan Sams on Nov 8, 2009 10:02 AM PST up reply actions  

I don’t like simmons writing and from a ‘geek’ point of view, he doesn’t do a lot of analysis, he’s not a numbers guy, he’s a ‘i watch the games’ guy

which is exactly what his chapter on “the secret” is about. he convinced me that you can never fully evaluate a basketball player or team based on statistics.

by Jordan Sams on Nov 8, 2009 10:05 AM PST up reply actions  

and I never said you could – i’ve NEVER said you could – the problem is that everyone (like in politics) seems to be on extremes. IN a game like basketall you can’t see everything that happens at once unlee you have 10 cameras, one for each player on the court.

Guys like simmons dismiss statistics because he thinks the people who use statistics don’t watch the games, plus they usually don’t understand the analysis so insult it and call those who cam up with it geeks.

There’s a REASON some of the bigger names at APBR vanish because they get jobs with NBA teams…there’s a reason people listen to what Daryl Morey has to say…it’s a COMBINATION of both, but the evolution of statistical analysis helps better explain and understand WHAT you see – but you still have to watch

i agree. i don’t think he dismisses statistics. i just think he relies on what he sees more.

by Jordan Sams on Nov 8, 2009 10:11 AM PST up reply actions  

That’s a flaw – that’s a flaw many people who ‘watch the games’ fail at – statistics have no bias (unless designed that way) perception has bias – plus you can’t see everything you want to see….you can’t tell HOW the guy got opened if you weren’t following him the whole time off the ball

well battier’s the best example. even hollinger’s stats had him as one of the worst players in the league last year, and we know that’s not the case.

he didn’t put up big numbers, but he made plays to help his team, like grabbing loose balls and such. if he does that in summer league, odds are he always will.

effort plays are nice, but the calibre of play in summer league REALLY is much lower, plus a lot less people MAKING those effort plays…i’m not worried about him, i’m worried about gordon going for like 40

You mean this comment which says nothing about the sixers being interested in stephen jackson?

There was a note the other day on Yahoo! Sports saying that an anonymous general manager in the NBA said that the 76ers called Golden State to see whether there was any interest in center Samuel Dalembert. Well, they did. Months ago. A source familiar with the Sixers’ situation said there was a call made during the summer, and that the Warriors had no interest. (For what it’s worth, the source also said the Sixers have no interest in acquiring unhappy Stephen Jackson.) Philadelphia Daily News

Two and two together. That’s how rumors work. Unfortunately.

That’s a pretty clear indication that

A. the sixers shopped same to GSW (which isn’t surprising cause they shopped him to everyone i bet)
B. GSW had no interest (cause no one has interest in Sam)
C. The sixers had no interest in SJAX at the time
D. It was last season – not this year.

Stephen Jackson signed an extension and THEN whined about wanting to be traded, is signed through 34 and just an utter tool.

No, he looks worse than last year

I need to see some basic rebounding and be able to fish at least 1/2 of his deep inside touches. That’s not about feel its about physically being unable to play NBA basketball anymore.

i realize I’m not being reasonable, but the guy looks completely done. And if he can’t even grab rebounds there is no reason for him to be on the floor (well I guess there are 80M reasons.)

Has sam done anything positive in the third quarter? IS the defensive rebounding better?

I hate to say

but I agree. Actually been trying to defend him up till now but about ready to give up. Very disappointing. Very.

by DeanH on Nov 8, 2009 12:02 PM PST up reply actions  

I’m still willing to give him a little benefit of the doubt of it being early.

However, tomorrow in Phoenix, if Speights doesn’t start / get the majority of minutes at the 5 spot, he loses some.

PS – where are all the folk who told me Speights couldn’t play center?

i was just going to say. what has speights done to warrant him not starting?

by Jordan Sams on Nov 8, 2009 12:01 PM PST up reply actions  

Probably the same thing Holliday has done to warrant not playing

Being young

Fungible players like bill have ‘good games’ every once in a while, and people who want to say he’s good focus on those and ignore the bad games, but usually the bad games outweigh the good games

don’t mean i can’t root for him in the 7 games he’s good in.

good lord.

This team has been pretty awful. Iguodala still has FT issues, bad decision making, terrible defense in the late stages of the game… team with no identity?

third coach in 2 seasons – a bunch of new players – and new positions – why is the lack of identity six games into the season all that shocking?

good point. It was the optimism was probably just brought upon by getting excited for start of the new season.

You’ll notice I had no optimism – I kept pointing out reasons for lack of optimism – and not expecting better than an around 500 record :)

it’s pretty impressive. last year i was very very close numerous times as well. i’m bringing back the points predictions, solely for entertainment purposes.

by Jordan Sams on Nov 8, 2009 12:31 PM PST up reply actions  

Halfway decent play on the defensive glass and sixers win easily….

The most aggravating thing is not the losing it’s that it’s the same damn thing year after year after year after coach after coach after coach
