Whoops, got ninja'ed by Mantis' post and didn't notice 'til just now.

Kleiza averages 3 points more against the Jazz than his career ppg average, and his highest points ever (41) were against the Jazz.

I think I'm going to go do some research right now and compare Kleiza's career ppg to his average vs the Jazz.

And Cousins was at 9, I believe. Paul George was 1 or 2. (Since those are fairly common comparisons).

I know you were kidding, but he actually only shot 4 (and hit 3!!!) He was 14-17 from the field 0_0

It's okay. Now I feel bad for getting everyone's hopes up about a non-ironic Marvin Legend commercial.

Yeah it's games like this that make the terrible losses seem like real head-scratchers. Everyone seemed to know exactly what they were supposed to do and executed. We looked really aggressive on defense as well.

Always. Oh, and I missed the kobe one before it--I turned the T.V. on as the Marvin one was starting.

Ah. Good catch, I haven't seen that Kobe promo. It was definitely a parody of that one, down to the weather changes and the black background with white text. Still pretty legendary, but in a different way haha.

It pretty much was. It showed a Marvin Williams Jersey in front of the ESA, while cycling through amateur special effects surrounding the jersey (snow, fire, sunburts, etc) and at the end it just said "The Legend Returns, December 11th 2013." I'm not making this up. Sorry for the late...

Um. Did anyone else see the Marvin Williams "Legend Returns" promo?

Then I'm confused where your point is going after that. Of course there are busts everywhere in the draft (as I mentioned before). However, you have a much higher chance of drafting a star player in the 1-10 range than outside of the 1-10 range. Assuming that you need star players to compete...

In case I can't get the pic resized, you should still be able to see the noticeable curve of the graph. While there are busts and hidden gems in every draft, there is certainly a much stronger chance of getting a great player in the first 10 rounds.

Decided to add some more stats to the conversation. Here is a chart showing the average of win shares for all the players drafted in each draft slot (1-30) over the past 11 years. I don't really adore win shares as a stat, but career PER wasn't easily attainable. If there was interest in...

What kind of consistency are we talking about? Gelatinous?

Gonna call the buzzer beater, just to be edgy.

Tank in trouble.

Brown homer-ing hard core and talking about McLemore's nether regions in the first half? Think I'm going to mute the second half..

Well, I'm procrastinating right now so I"ll do your research for you. I assume you mean the 2011-12 Bobcats, since they truly had a horrendous season that year. It was a shortened season, and they won 7 of their 66 games, for a win percentage of roughly 10.5%. The Jazz are currently sitting...

I think this will be a humbling game. I'm excited for the Burke/Lillard matchup, though--should be a good litmus test.
