Thanks for posting these. My remote hasn't been working. Lately, I got to fix that this weekend

It's also weird it took this damn long for him to get only this boost. He's been a fundamental part of the Orlando Magic success this year.

Isaac is one of the best defenders I've ever seen - he's insane.

But he's also not doing it for 35-40 minutes per night, because his body can't handle that. He definitely makes the most of the time he's out there, but it's difficult to rate because should he be rated higher than someone who plays 30+ minutes and is consistently good defensively (but not quite to JI's ridiculous level)?

I guess he can just be given low stamina and high injury proneness.

THIS is what the Intangibles rating is supposed to be for.

Quote:

The Western Conference standings are filled with plenty of drama headed into the NBA Playoffs, with teams climbing up or sliding down the rankings on what seems like a nightly basis. There’s a good chance the Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Denver Nuggets will all finish in the top three, but it’s anyone’s guess what seed the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, and Los Angeles Clippers secure. Anthony Davis is doing his best to help the Lakers lock up a Play-In spot at least, Kyrie Irving’s helping the Mavs make a final push, and Paul George is helping the Clippers hit their stride at just the right time. All three Western Conference stars are vying for a spot in the postseason and have delivered some incredible performances as of late, resulting in an increase to their player rating.

I love how much focus they give to big market Play-In teams like the Lakers and Warriors. Meanwhile the Nuggets have been ignored most of the year. KCP rates 4 points lower than Austin Reaves, 3 points lower than Rui Hachimura.

Quote:

Anthony Davis, Center-Forward, Los Angeles Lakers: 95 OVR (+1) At the beginning of the season, Anthony Davis made it a personal goal to play all 82 games in the regular season, understanding the importance of his availability for his team. While he’s likely going to fall just short of that total, he’s played in 68 out of 73 games this season, which is the most he’s played in a single year since 2017-2018 when he played 75 games. Davis has been banged up the last two weeks, but he’s remained in the starting lineup and pushed through any pain he may be experiencing. In a recent matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, Davis played a whopping 52 minutes in a double-overtime thriller, finishing with 34 points, 23 rebounds, 4 blocks, and a much-needed win. Davis’ commitment to his team and winning deserves more praise.

The irony of discussing AD's durability as a point of emphasis when there isn't a single player whose Durability rating has changed in the last 5 years.

No badge changes for AD.

Quote:

Kyrie Irving, Guard, Dallas Mavericks: 91 OVR (+1) Kyrie Irving has been a consistent contributor for the Dallas Mavericks all season, but this is the time of year when the nine-time All-Star invariably takes his game to another level in preparation for the postseason. Over the last two weeks, Irving is averaging 25.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1.7 steals, providing an all-around effort on both ends of the court. The Mavs’ offense will continue to run through Luka Dončić, but when it’s clutch time, don’t be surprised if Irving gets the green light. This is an NBA champion who hit one of the coldest three-pointers in NBA history in the last few seconds of Game 7 during the 2016 NBA Finals—no one wants to be tasked with defending that guy.

Stauffer still riding high on that Cavs championship.

No badge changes for Kyrie.

Quote:

Paul George, Forward, Los Angeles Clippers: 90 OVR (+1) Paul George is a bona fide superstar, but the Clippers' trade for James Harden earlier this year forced the nine-time All-Star—and other members of the team—to slip into the background momentarily so his new teammate could get acclimated to the lineup. Now that enough time has passed and the Clippers have built some cohesion between the new starting five, George is back to commanding the court in myriad ways. Over the last two weeks, George is averaging 26 points per game, leading the Clippers in scoring during that period, and is staying active defensively with 1.7 steals per game. A lot of focus is understandably placed on Harden and Kawhi Leonard, but George could be the primary catalyst for the Clippers in the postseason if he maintains this level of production.

Here's the ****ing truth. They could edit the badges for these players in the same amount of time it takes to come up with these level zero fluff pieces.

Like releasing the injured players? I guess so.
