Threadly reminder that Wilt is largely underrated amongst zoomers who rely exclusively on personal biases to support their player ratings. Unfortunately, most people still are unaware that new technology has been introduced to the market, which allows us to finally unbiasedly and accurately rate players and teams based on an up-to-date and carefully calibrated, custom built rating engine, as well as complex algorithms running on the most cutting edge advanced software, enhanced with virtual factor threading capabilities.

Just one example of the data reference points being factored into Wilt’s exceptional ALL-TIME overall sp. rating can be found below:

...sounds like you are unfamiliar with the Pop philosophy, user. You see user, Pop’s philosophy is based on the noble pillars of symbiotic homeostasis - Selflessness, ego-death, working together to accomplish something greater than the individual self. Nationalism leads to a lack of empathy and understanding for those who were programmed differently. the accompanying implications of superiority/inferiority based on pre-programmed cultural differences is a viral way of thinking which will needlessly causes pain and suffering to those infected. This is a great insight that is lacking in, not just the NBA, but society in general today.Natuonalism makes self-righteous, self-absorbed asswipes of us all - the system is built that way. Pop and the Spurs proved time and again that Nationalism is a weak shitty way to motivate players (people) and a Teams (society). Unfortunately, many are unable to break free from their selfish, biased tendencies. life is infinitely more beautiful and enjoyable when we are showing unconditional love and appreciation for each other, however, the nationalistic way of mind places priority on self preservation at all costs (ego) rather than on the pursuit of empathy, understanding and wisdom - the great one-ness that is everything gives ZERO fucks about the location and hardware you were born with! For most, a strong shift in perspective, a psychedelic journey of some sort, will help to reframe reality and bring us all closer to that which we come from. For many who have been brainwashed into being selfish sparkless, assholes by nationalistic entities, psychedelics offer a solution at last to your suffering. Get out of the LeBeta state of mind, and spark into the Pop state of mind... and do it on a trip :)

TLDR; If you ever find yourself acting like that insecure self-absorbered beta bitch LeBron, but you would rather act like that beloved good guy Pop, you should probably try some LSD, psilocybin, or DMT :)

It's a pretty convincing win for the 76ers.

There's also no way they put someone as small as Lowry on Simmons. They need length on him to shut down his passing.

everybody can get high scoring numbers if your gameplan revolves around them. Durant had high scoring numbers in okc but never won shit until he cowarded out to a team with 3 more all stars. Don't get mad that LeBron has always been a proven better basketball player and actual leader over KD.

LeBron in 2019 is still a better defender than lanklet KD ever was. Go ahead and believe the bleacher report memes that bron is a better defender when actual analysts and statistics show LeBron is still an elite defender in 2019

Lebron is the best passer in the NBA and not even close.

..So you admit it then!?!?? You’re advocates of the “”””updated”””” L.O.A.F. rating system!? It’s funny how every time I make a S.P.A.R.K. related post, Every. Single. Time. All of the sudden, out of the wood work will come 1 user, and then 2 anons, and then 3, all seemingly random anons that are suspiciously hell bent on discrediting S.P.A.R.K.S. And trying to replace it with L.O.A.F.‘s subpar, aged and increasingly unpopular rating system. And now I suppose you’re going to tell me about how your outdated LarryLoaf5.0.3 rating engine outstrips S.P.A.R.K.S. CandyBread Elite7 engine??!? even though LarryLoaf5.0.3 only simulates a fraction of the games and takes practically 70x as long to do it. You and your employees are paid to use a system which has been proven time and time again to be inferior... TO WHICH I MIGHT ADD, still doesn’t predict player stats or game outcomes within a 14% margin of what S.P.A.R.K. can do. Nobody uses L.O.A.F. anymore, face it, your sickly, undependable joke of a rating system has been replaced and voted out. So why don’t you paid porkies posters and Larryloafer shills crawl back under the dirty, dark, damp rock you all came from and stop trying to discredit the better clearly superior system, simply because you’re afraid that YOUR OWN spark will be going out once and for all!

Who's this sparky y'all raving about?

>can't do half the things he does
After consulting our system data logs regarding KD’s short comings, it appears you are actually correct - with 87% certainty, KD will never achieve 3 finals losses. Nice algorithms, user. Keep spreading important unbiased LeFraud stats; you’re doing God’s work :)

it's one guy samefagging trying to gain attention and popularity on an obscure section of a chinese fingerpainting internet forum. It's seriously pathetic

If you really want to know who /spARKY is, you’ll need to do your research and follow his updates and ratings. Although sparky is a man shrouded in mystery, I’ve picked up on his particular interest in teams displaying good ol’ fashion team-spark, such as the GS and the Spurs. He can also be found pointing out the many fallacies posted here which support players who’s spark is largely overhyped, such as Lebron and Harden.

It’s almost as if sparks user truly takes a liking to players, coaches and teams who are ACTUALLY sparky, and bases his predictions on the Candybread Elite7 rating engine, rather than from personal bias and media manipulation.

“Who is he”, you ask? personally I believe sparks user is the foretold savior of /nba/, the one who will restore balance and reason to this board, bringing an end to the insistent biased-based list postings, and ushering in a new golden age of sparky stats, ratings, metrics and predictions!..

..But nobody truly knows who, or WHAT, sparks user really is, it’s anyone’s guess..

As to S.P.A.R.K’s origins, this is from their official page:

>S.P.A.R.K.S. came about during the sparky revolution when a new way of thinking about sparks swept through the NBA like wildfire.

>Now top NBA analysts are using the new Candybread Elite7 to formulate the problem of how sparks ignite to flames in actual concrete mathematical terms for the firsttime. And while the problem of how sparks came to be in the NBA is far from being solved, it is finally being formulated mathematically as a set of problems that analysts, players and fans can understand, explore and discuss.

>The highly advanced particular properties of sparks might arise from the natural laws governing our individual sparkyness. And it explains how these properties allow us to reason about the sparks which might actually exploit the very nature of our reality. S.P.A.R.K.s allows us to finally perceive the NBA as it actually appears.

>3 gold medals and 5 silver medals is worse than only 3 gold medals

>t. doing your best to rationalize, cope and remain in denial, rather than abandoning your personal biases and comfortably acclimating to the /spARKY new age

Although it is difficult to come to terms with this cultural shift in perspective, i would advise against staying in your delusions for too long. When the Candybread Elite7 rating engine was first introduced, it was indeed a lone reporter of truth on /nba/ attempting to forge ahead on his own, sacrificing everything in its circuitry, just to bring accurate team and player ratings to the public. Now, the movement has grown, attracting additional support from likeminded individuals (such as WiltPoster) who have a similar yearning in their heart to combat popular misinformation with cold hard facts. Of course, it should be no surprise that the most advanced algorithms ever conceived by man for the purpose of determining overall sp. values has predictably sparked a bit of interest.

..So while you may wish to label everyone contributing to the /spARKY Revolution as a samefag (maybe that makes it easier for you to stay attached to your emotional biases) you are fighting a force for which you have no defense against. As new technological discoveries are made, our rating system’s abilities grow more powerful yet, and day by day, more and more, people are waking up to the awareness that they’ve been lied to their entire lives - misled by those they trusted to give them accurate biases-free NBA stats and info. The Candybread Elite7 rating engine may have been the spark that started this movement, but as you well know.. a spark can very easily ignite to a flame!

piss poor logic here, bud. You're implying that the 3-0 finals record individual did "not lose"-- but they did. Losing in the finals is much better than losing in the earlier rounds.
Take the Montana-Brady debate for example. Yes brady has lost in the SB, but how come him beating everyone in the AFC and ultimately losing in the SB on miraculous plays count against his record moreso than when Montana got annihilated by the Giants in the '86 divisional game 49-3. your logic doesnt make any sense, bud

the history books will remember the warriors dynasty as the greatest team ever assembled and will be compared to jordan's bulls for all eternity.

nobody even remembers lebron's rings with the heat, and only remember his lucky one with the cavs because of how it ties to curry's legacy. He'll be remembered as Hakeem, a great player overshadowed by an even better player dominating at the same time.

>Montana-Brady
lol why would you even bring that up? Brady will ALWAYS be known for 18-1, nothing he does will EVER erase that blemish.

nope, incorrect. your analogy isnt flawed. you're analogy is like saying those that lost before the finals never failed a question. they did. If basketball was a test Jordan wouldnt have only answered 6 questions. He anted up and threw his hat in the ring many more times and didnt even make it to the finals, that should count against him.

if you fail to make the finals, that just means your team mates weren't good enough to get you there.

if you make the finals, but choke, it shows your team was good enough to be contenders, you just couldn't close the deal.

>if you fail to make the finals, that just means your team mates weren't good enough to get you there.

this is such flawed reasoning. First youre making the classic mistake of putting the blame on the rest of the team when a superstar loses and giving the superstar all of the credit when they win. Second, youre assuming that all finals teams are created equal and if they made it there they are good enough to win the title. Not true, as in 2015, a player can no doubt drag a team to the finals that has no chance of winning, just because they got there doesnt mean they are good enough to win. Also, the converse is true, a team that is good enough to win the title could very well lose long before making the finals and under your logic, this team would escape blame as "not good enough in the first place." If the Warriors lost to Houston last year in the 2018 WCF would you really say "well they lost before the finals, so the team around KD wasnt good enough in the first place"? ofc not

>like, nobody's holding it against lebron for missing the playoffs this year because the lakers are trash.

Sorry to say, but your opinion of the legendary Great Wilt Chamberlain doesn’t really match up with our rating engine’s results.. it may very well be that you’re running your ratings model using an outdated version of the stats/testimonials filtering module. For a more viable reference point, please access the “Wilt-Is-A-Goddamned-Legend-Just-Look-At-The-Testimonies.spk” file. Once your system management profile has prompted you to confirm the updated load order, simply select “YES”, and then select “SPARK” on the next screen, and proceed to re-run your results. I think then you’ll see that the results show: Wilt would be an even more dominant force in today’s league given his solid reputation as an unstoppable force. Today’s NBA culture fosters players with overall weak mentality, compared to Wilt the competition he faced.

Good to see someone in this thread who isn’t completely overreacting to this one game. It does get tiring seeing the vast majority of anons letting themselves be pulled around all willy-nilly by their own personal biases.

/snakes/ went into this round as underdogs. They were rated at a respectable overall sp. score of 50,109 sp. and the system predicted an even 30% estimated chance to topple TOR. After analysis of tonight’s game, factoring for statistical outcome metrics, The Candybread Elite7 has calculated a mere 4% increase in their likelihood of elimination. While /snakes/ May be the underdogs in the series, there is still a 26% chance they could pull off an upset, and the algorithms show their spark to be very much still alive.

Raptors are 22-3 against the sixers
get the fuck out

>t. let’s personal bias cloud his ability to properly factor statistical weight and relevance
1-2 in their last 3 meets (with the point differential favoring 76er by +1) would have been just as accurate.

I don’t know what rating system you used to compile that list (hopefully not P.O.R.K.I.E.S. Or LarryLOAF Pro2.5 for sparkssake) but any rating system not running on the Candybread Elite7 rating software is clearly inferior. Word to the wise, the competitors’ engines’ ratings lists are compiled using properties which either attempt to mirror the Candybread Elite7’s algorithms, or interface directly with a version of our software, however, it should be noted that the S.P.A.R.K.S. has been praised for their optimization of this current technology, and their ability to fine tune the scoring engine, resulting in a more accurate ordering than L.O.A.F. or P.O.R.K.I.E.S. I trust S.P.A.R.K.S. because I know it runs on a custom built rating engine which factors into consideration the tracking and impact estimates of team/player injuries, the physical and possible mental ramifications of past events, trades, press, and other player transactions, head-to-head results, margin of victory over similar opponents, and rated quality of opponent, as well as integration of predictions based on 100,000 run simulations forecasting the rest of the season, consistently updated after each game.

The S.P.A.R.K.S. system introduces a new age in accurate team and player rating. It’s a bold age, it’s a different age, it’s a spARKy age! So, you may be asking yourself, how do we cope with this sparky new age after growing up in a mostly sparkless society? We’ve been conditioned our entire lives to avoid sparky situations but then we are given countless examples in the /spARKY news updates of sparky teams and players that dared to ask what happens when you seek out the sparkiest path and take destiny by the hand. You too can choose to take this path, and, with destiny in your hands (and a bit of spark too), comfortably acclimate to this sparky new age.

Eh, fuck you, buddy!

Okay, I see you’re a fan of biased ratings lists and you have no interest in listening to reason or to the algorithms. I do apologize if you were offended by the content of the /spARKys TOP 10 PLAYER RANKINGS, The S.P.A.R.K. Rating System section, or any of our affiliated rating/posting services, however, I feel the need to remind you that you are in no way obligated to read or view these posts. /spARKY news update as well as /spARKY’s overall sp. rating stat tracking are free services provided by S.P.A.R.K.S. to the benefit of the community. News and stats are based on the most up-to-date information and all predictions or inferences are meticulously run through the Candybread Elite7 engine before publishing.

You’re welcome to use other rating systems if you’d like but a word of advice, I’d stay away from P.O.R.K.I.E.S. or any rating system still running on the outdated LarryLOAF Pro2.5 engine. It’s just not reliable data at this point.

i bet becky hammond told them to not foul

FUCKING WOMEN RUIN EVERYTHING

Well, Spursbros, what should they do now? I feel like, at this point, the best thing to do is to tank and try to get another elite player in the lottery. Duncan's gone, Ginobili is gone, and Parker's gone. The long run of success seems to have reached its final dregs. But the Spurs are a well-run organization and I think that if they play things right they could rebuild themselves back to eliteness.

The only question is, will Pop want to stick around for that? He might just decide to retire.

Draft picks. The spurs have two late firsts in a draft where a decent prospie might slip to the back of the draft. Lonnie Walker development, Dejounte coming back, hoping poop doesn’t retire, etc. Mostly the off-season is about getting younger and getting better.

it looked like patty was the only one on the court who realizes they need to foul but he couldn't do it because he had 5
I think he still should've done it anyways

>Tank
That won’t take in SA. Becoming mediocre and picking ~9-12 for a few years after Popovich’s retirement? Sure. With the flattened lottery odds, small market tanking is suicide these days.

Nope, he still has two more years at $27.7 million each with the last year (2020-21) as a player option

More importantly is how useful will he be against Golden State?

So if they don't win a championship or keep Kawhi that's a win? That's a very sad win.

If kawhi thought Spurs were bad, toronto fans gonna give him Vince Carter part 2. boo the man for 15 years until he begs to retire there at 43 years old just to get some closure

Didn't Embiid only get like 3 pts when Gasol was on the floor? The rest of his pts were against Ibaka I believe.

Durshit actually has really suspect fundamentals and the only reason he's a good player is because he's 8 feet tall with a 10 foot wingspan. He would not be nearly as effective with handcheck and physical defense

Somebody pill me on Larry. I’ve been posting in /nba/ for years and still don’t know the full LD scoop since I never joined

Warriors bandwagonning faggot. All you need to know.

I love Patty Mills, but his shot wasn't falling the entire series, and he was absolutely getting murdered on the screens. He was a great passer and spaced the floor but him and Bellinelli generally sucked at defense. Spurs should aim to get a better replacement for one of them(come back Danny Green)

Rudy Gay finally had a great final 2 games after sucking in games 1 to 5. Spurs should try to resign him for sure.

It's only their first year with Demar and they're stuck with him for the next 2 years, so they should definitely give him more time instead of immediately trying to shop him. Besides, I doubt anybody wants him on his current deal.

in all honesty I think spurs need DeMar at this time. Without him their team is in even worse shape. As for Patty that dude needs to fucking go or get traded. Ever since 2014 he has regressed so fucking much and a liability

The worst part about it is that Patty is a great locker room guy and it's super exciting when he does go off, but is getting paid way too much for what he contributes. Is this how Raptors fans who loved Demar feel about him?

Did Aldridge bet money on the nuggets, that sequence is crazy to me..

>I feel like, at this point, the best thing to do is to tank and try to get another elite player in the lottery.
i disagree, and i'm glad the spurs disagree too. the draft is just too much of a total and complete crapshoot to be worth bottoming out and alienating your fans for.

here's a list of dudes picked in the top 5 the last five years:
>andrew wiggins
>jabari parker
>dante exum
>jahlil okafor
>mario hezonja
>dragan bender
>kris dunn
>markelle fultz

meanwhile, antetokounmpo was drafted 15th, as was leonard. jokic was drafted 41st. that's 3/5 out of your most likely all-nba first team selection being drafted outside the lottery, next to harden (3rd) and lillard (6th).

for all the money teams and the media put into scouting and analysis and shit, they're all remarkably clueless who the fuck is gonna turn out elite. having a lottery or top 5 pick only marginally improves your chances, if that. even teams like philadelphia, who took the science of tanking to shameless new heights, fucking stink at drafting talent. for every embiid and simmons (jury's still out on simmons desu), they also picked guys like okafor, fultz, carter-williams, and noel (via trade).

and i have a general issue with playing to lose. this is a sports competition, entertainment business or not. you play to win. fuck the smarmy nerd GMs like morey, and fuck the online dweebs with their armchair GM LARPing.

out of the four avenues of improving your team roster - drafting, trading, free agency signings, player development -, i feel the spurs are best at player development. they should just stay the course in that regard.

on the flip side, the spurs can't seem to make it quite work with fully developed marquee players they sign in free agency or trade for. they need their players to be malleable. i appreciate aldridge and derozan, and it's not like the spurs haven't been successful with them, but they play so unlike themselves with them on the floor it's painful to watch.

In addition, Chamberlain drove a Ferrari, a Bentley, and had a Le Mans-style car called Searcher One designed and built at a cost of $750,000 in 1996.Following his death, in 1999 Chamberlain's estate was valued at $25 million

How come we haven't seen any bastard Wilt?

Even accounting for the failure rate of condoms and probability that they aren't amazing the height alone should get him a few questionable heirs

either gay or infertile?

who the fuck schedules an nba playoff game at noon

spent the last like 30 minutes playing around with the shamsports capulator. there are no real viable trade scenarios this off-season.

maybe there's room for marginal improvement with a lateral move: demar derozan for nicolas batum, straight up. their salaries and options match almost 1:1. batum's scoring plummeted between 2017 and 2019, but his defense is solid and he shot just shy of 40% from 3pt. i'd give it a shot as a reclamation project. at the very least, it would unclog the floor on offense and give the young guards more USG%.

Only 1 out of 8 teams currently still in the playoffs built their team through tanking. And that team is a total fraud.

>le top seed wins every series sport

how can any of you enjoy this predictable sport? hockey is so much better lol

Disposable razor in the shower. Helps to get erection first.

For me, it's about seeing the athletes compete, (hopefully) giving it their fullest throughout the 80-100ish broadcasted games each team plays a year. It's not about focusing on who wins 4 out of the last 7 games in the season. But you're right, hockey is better.

OK tonight we get the serious, relevant games from teams who can actually win the championship

Why wouldn't the better team win

the better team should win, its just that the better team shouldn't always be the higher seed or the one everyone thinks is the better team. If there were true parity there would be a chance for the better team to be an 8th seed.

@igotsources

Hi why didn’t the spurs foul at the end of the game?

Pop’s obsessed with Euros and wants them to do well in the NBA

Stop picking on KD, he's autistic.

Like I posted a while ago, they shouldn't trade Demar right now. Aside from it only being the first year with him, he becomes much more tradeable next year since his contract expires in 2021

Pops was screaming at them to foul

Surely the players knew that they were two possessions down with only a couple second buffer between shot and game clock

derozan is not a hot asset either way. neither is aldridge. neither are mills or any other dude people want to see traded. the reality is that more likely than not, nothing will happen.

then again, they still have to go to the exit interviews. who knows what happens there. LMA requested his trade a couple of years ago at an exit interview too.

take the punch instead of being a bitch

Yeah, White and Poeltl are like their only guys with trade value. Nobody wants overpaid boomers who can’t shoot the 3

yeah, they will have to ride the contracts out. like, even if LMA asked them to trade him, who would they call? i literally fail to see any option at all. cleveland for kevin love? grizzlies for chandler parsons? miami for ryan anderson?

LA is going to be 36 by the time his contract's up, after which he's probably going to sign a minimum deal in Portland. Spurs aren't a team who make big trades, but even more improbable than that is getting something out of LA

>implying dodge/block is not more impressive than getting hit in head

Gasol lives in Embitch’s head rent free just like my raptor live in the head of all filthadelphia fans rent free
