oh and the game isn't over yet, lol

@SherwoodStrauss: Steph Curry now has 108 points in 92 minutes this season. On 62 shots.

maybe expecting a little regression from steph wasn't the best idea

@ESPNStatsInfo: According to @EliasSports, Stephen Curry's 118 pts is the most through 1st 3 games of the season since Michael Jordan's 118 in 1989-90.

drummond 29-27-0-2-3

jeez

Detroit's Andre Drummond is the first player with 135 points and 135 rebounds through his team's first seven games since Wilt Chamberlain in 1970-71

craze

i was thinking about the alternate history yesterday where the cavs take drummond instead of waiters

terrence ross one pick ahead of drummond is also an underrated all-time bad pick

him slipping to 9th is pretty crazy

like super athletic 6-11 guys who can catch the ball arent usually overlooked

he was really bad at uconn but yeah you sort of have to roll the dice with a guy with that kind of body and skills

i think the way the league is going now that athletic 7 footers just aren't going to slip like that over offensive concerns. if a guy can defend the rim and catch lobs off the pick and roll that's an immediately valuable player (i.e. cauley stein)

yeah the tyson chandler model was def under appreciated a few years ago in ways its not now, but still teams have always loved athletic big men!

yeah it was dumb. i mean drummond had major attitude questions right?

i guess i dont remember why everyone was mad at him

June 26 Update: Andre Drummond: The next Dwight Howard or the next Kwame Brown?

Who knows? Really.

Drummond has all of the tools to be the next Howard. At 18, he's already 7 feet tall, 280 pounds. He has a 7-foot-6 wingspan and elite athletic abilities. That's not a basketball player; that's a basketball god.

But he's also the second-youngest player in the draft, and at times it shows. He doesn't always play hard. He takes off plays and sometimes entire games. His skill level (highlighted by his awful 29.5 percent free throw shooting) is a major work in progress. He doesn't always work hard off the court to improve his game. And when you talk to him, he sounds more like a 16-year-old trapped in the body of a 28-year-old giant.

Anyone who says he knows what Drummond will be is a psychic or a fraud. If he lands on the right team, gets the right coaching and is open to dedicating himself completely to the game, he could be the next Howard.

If Drummond is left on his own, isn't forced to develop or just decides that he doesn't really like basketball, Brown isn't out of the question.

More likely, he's somewhere in between those guys. DeAndre Jordan, anyone?

lol the punchline

love how he's embraced the shoulder hair

*2 this season

*2 wins this season

B-)

dubs/grizz 56 combined fouls with no hack-a-xxxx

felt like a foul call every time down the floor. game was ugggly

don't know why the league doesn't implement my fix (ie option to decline FTs, retain possession)

that's MY idea

its a good idea whoever had it (me)

thats a big triple double

http://i.imgur.com/50XVYFI.png

only two spots held by wing players and two of the three players see time at the 4

feels a little too early in the season for that chart

what if... the season ended today (because of terrorism)

it seems p solid to me tbh except maybe the guys in the corners but really thats a randos spot anyway, and wld think bron wld make an appearance

guess gasol is p iffy too

yo wonder if donovan told him to stop shooting 3s, thats a good look

well he shot 3.

but three is manageable

westb 5th in scoring 1st in assists

he is averaging 6 3pt attempts a game tho

but hitting them at 36% which is... acceptable

tho prob not sustainable

sizers only team in nba history two start b2b seasons at 0-12 CONGRATS

36% is really good for wb from three

people are still gonna concede threes to him unless he starts shooting like steph curry

Draymond in the top 5, Festus in the top 25. :)

the usual suspects are at the top but you really need s LOT more data for these numbers to mean anything

maybe halfway through the season RPM will start being meaningful

Kyle Lowry is the usual suspects already? damn

hm no chris paul

paul's been horrendous!

plus minus is horrendous

It's p good for telling who's at least a good luck charm

nawww RPM is a pretty good stat. but you need more minutes for it to mean something. right now theres a lot of 1) randomness and 2) overlap with other players who people play most of their minutes with

wld need players to switch teams every couple weeks to really work

lol yeah ideally the league would just be random pickup games

― stay presst harsh fellow (m bison), Wednesday, December 2, 2015 11:30 PM (3 minutes ago)

in haralabob's podcast with simmons they both referred to him as a good defensive power forward, which...i never thought of him as that

his shooting is off, still trying to find his place in the spurs scheme, but the defense with duncan has been SUBLIME, like duncan+robinson

spurs are allowing 88.8 pts/game right now

haralabob was also talking about how he thinks the spurs have changed their system to a more slower-paced, big, defense-first style as a way to counter the trend of the rest of the league going small, which is actually something he predicted last season

good for him, he was incredibly prophetic

yeah its weird, the spurs offense is still about ball movement in the second unit with patty mills and manu and boris and friends, but the starting 5 is grinding and midrange jumpers.

Dan McCarney ‏@danmccarneyNBA 4m4 minutes ago
Kawhi Leonard is leading the NBA in 3pt percentage. (On four attempts per game, no less.) Let that sink in...

Kawhi should shoot 10 3's per game

worth a shot

whats his percentage

bise as a watcher of spurs games how wld you characterize the looks hes getting wide open corner catch and shoots? off the dribble step back 30footers? and so forth

http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/202695/tracking/shots/

looks like about 3.5 out of his 4 attempts per game are with the defender at least 4 feet away

which doesn't mean he's a bad shooter or anything obv

http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201939/tracking/shots/

here's steph's, basically unless he's smothered it doesn't matter -- he shoots 48% with a defender within 2-4 feet of him

nba might need to consider moving the line back, or maybe just a special line for steph

Hack a Steph and just take the 2 points.

his time is probably up

accidentally sweeping the raptors prob kept him around this long

wittman has been bad for so lone got to wonder abt the wiz as an org

also them trading a bunch of stuff for old dudes even tho the core of their team is three young dudes kinda caught up to them

generally not a good idea

that they have john wall is a miracle and considering their other drafting that they got brad beal is a "broken clock is right once a day" thing, it's really a horribly run franchise

wow yeah that's a great comparison actually

i'm aware its hardly novel but until recently i always considered it hyperbole shouted by people who were more bugged by the rose hype machine than by his actual qualities or failures (or injury history) as a player

was idly wondering earlier today if else's contract is the worst in the league at this point, but I guess it's just $41m through the end of next year which isn't as bad as I expected

its not godawful but the only contracts that are worse expire this year

http://bkref.com/tiny/vfdUb

rubio is very good at everything exept scoring

Russ had his sixth triple double tonight 24-14-10

zaza has 21 double doubles on the season which apparently is a career high for him

yeah, i don't know if it's carlisle magic or whate, but zaza's having his best rebounding season by far.

carlisle magic prob has to do w it but i think the team chemistry is really what's bringing the best out of these dudes. they all seem to be really dialed in which is what's letting them punch above their weight

#Sixers are 2-0 at home this season in games attended by @NICKIMINAJ.
She is scheduled to be at today's game vs. Golden State.

Crazy.

At 22 years and 347 days old, Anthony Davis is the youngest player to score at least 59 points in a game in NBA history. (Via Elias)

steph 51-7-8, 20-27fg, 10-15 3pt. 34 minutes.

also first player in nba history to hit 10 3's in two separate games in a single season.

Curry also 128 consecutive games w at least one three pointer. broke Korver's record

are you guys ready for curry's shooting numbers from 28-50 feet this year

i'm probably not ready tbh

35 of 52. sixty-seven percent

that just doesn't even make sense

what

Draymond Green last night: 15 pts, 13 rebs, 9 ast, 5 stl and 2 threes. Last time someone matched that line: '95 Jason Kidd, per @bball_ref.

The San Antonio Spurs have clinched a playoff spot with Utah’s loss to Toronto. Nineteen straight seasons and 26 of their last 27 seasons.

The San Antonio Spurs have missed the playoffs five times since their inception in 1968.

GOAT franchise in sports

I vividly remember those 90s Spurs non playoff seasons. Tark the Shark and whatnot.

That's 80s, carnál. Spurs only missed the playoffs once in the 90s when d rob and Sean Elliott were injured.

Well it was 1992 but yeah they made the playoffs after they fired tark

oh yeah that one

thats when they brought in the god larry brown

Tim Kawakami Verified account ‏@timkawakami

Just to update, the Warriors led by 2 points at halftime last night and are now 47-0 in games when they have a halftime lead

second player to ever hit 50 points twice as a blazer (geoff petrie being the other). crazy that drexler only did it once!

Edward the Spurs fan ‏@edwardfromda808
@bballbreakdown is it ok to make a counter argument that spurs are perfect on their 2nd games of back-to-back games this season?

lol'd at "Edward the Spurs fan" do not ask me why

hawks defrtg since the ot loss to the warriors on 2/23 is 89.7. spurs are second during that period at 92.4, then the celtics at 100.1

The rookie season of jahlil okafor

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/o/okafoja01/on-off/2016/#on-off::none

Oof

+/- is a bad stat

It's a great stat, for one u can represent it w symbols

matt why do u hate jahlil so much?

Stole his girl

everyone hates jahlil okafor even tho he put up 18-7 on 50% in 30mins a game while playing for an insanely constructed wildly dysfunctional team, like i can understand thinking hes flawed or went too high but ppl really seem to think hes the devil and irredeemable which is kinda weird imo, like hes a 20 y/o rookie who had a p good season he has time to work on improving his game more

like its not just matt many ppl are very down on this guy!

im rootin for u jahlil!

having said that last years draft is starting to look like it was extremely stacked and hell prob end up as like the 7th best player

i dunno if you watch him it seems pretty clear that his upside is fairly limited

hes literally 20 years old jordan!

20 year old rookies reliable improve a lot actually, was he wearing a no upside sign or something how did u devine this information

that doesn't make the first statement untrue tho

its makes it highly suspect

he'll probably be as good as greg monroe, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

hes roughly as good as greg monroe right now!

which is a nice way of saying that greg monroe hasn't gotten that much better from his rookie season i.e. jahlil okafor doesn't have that much upside

jordan u can look at greg monroes rookie stats they are available online

as a 21 year old, greg monroe shot 52 percent from the field on 11.8 shots per game with 9.7 rebounds per game. as a 25 year old, greg monroe is shooting 52 percent from the field on 12.4 shots per game with 9.4 rebounds per game.

he's the same player.

jordan how can we trust yr opinion on this if you dont know what the word rookie means the definaiton is also available online

notice i havent even started to contest yr assertion that okafor and monroe are the same person but if i were going to i wld start with the fact that they have different names and look different and also have been seen in the same place at the same time before

well monroe's rookie year numbers are a bit of a misnomer simply because he was only taking 7 shots per game, which jahlil isn't

if your argument is that 20 year old jahlil okafor has comparable numbers to 21 year old greg monroe whose numbers are identical to 25 year old greg monroe then i would say i'm not sure how that really helps your argument at all

jordans argument against okafor: he is the same person as greg monroe only with a different rookie usage rate or something, this makes tons of sense i am super convinced, also a 21 y/o 2nd year is more meaningful to compare to a 20 y/o rookie year than a 20 y/o rookie year is, this is smart greg monroe is the key def i dont knwo why i didnt see this before

i mean...... jahlil okafor's rookie year numbers are way worse than greg monroe's, i was trying to be generous to your argument

you guys are arguing about how good some loser on the 76ers is

yes because usage does not matter at all, btw i have applied the greg monore formula to all the rookies and bad new folks they are all bad

i mean...... jahlil okafor's rookie year numbers are way worse than greg monroe's, i was trying to be generous to your argument

nooo u were desperately searching for a rookie that didnt improve but u had to use his 2nd year stats lol

even if you dropped 5 percentage points off monroe's rookie FG% for reasons of usage he would still have the same offensive stats as okafor and be a better rebounder

does this count as fanfic

it you wanted to take it to the real world its p obvious if youve ever watched them play that monroe is the better rebounder and okafor is a massively more talented scorer

this entire conversation is fanfic

i feel pretty comfortable saying even if the rest of his game never comes together that okafor will score a lot of points in the nba

if he can figure out how to play good positional D and make the right passes out of the double team he will be a star

otherwise hell be putting up 25 a game for a 25 win kings team before being reclaimed by the mavs lol

that monroe is a slightly better rebounder and okafor is a slightly better scorer doesn't really change negate my statement that okafor will be roughly as good as monroe

okafor is quite clearly a much much more talent offensive player than monroe, aaaand monroes development curve is also highly atypical, i mean it cld happen that way but all things considered its not the most likely outcome

i mean okafor cld totally flame out even and be in china in four years its possible but not super likely

if u were to extrapolate purely form okafors rookie year the most likely future is prob big scorer who never really is that great at the rest of the game, al jefferson if he werent the worst athlete in the league say

but he cld be better too, obvs starting out on the sixers isnt the most auspicious first step

lagoon i am sending someone for you at your home, i let them know u r making lengthy arguments about the merits of jahlil okafor on the internet again, im worried about you

um excuse me but i am being provoked by online trolls

these trolls...are they in the room with us right now?

theyre in the... chat room

THE POSTS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE COMPUTER.

i went drinking and forgot about this thread but i just want to state that at one point in this thread lagoon basically said okafor will be as good as demarcus cousins

brb suing u for libel

otherwise hell be putting up 25 a game for a 25 win kings team before being reclaimed by the mavs lol

yeah he's been a beast

i love his jump shot he just extends his arms way out then flicks his wrist so efficient looks exactly the same every time

Through the first three quarters of games, OKC is plus-232 for the season in the first, plus-107 in the second and plus-208 in the third, better scoring margins than any team other than Golden State and San Antonio. Yet in the fourth quarter, thanks to the Thunder's well-chronicled struggle to hold leads, they're stunningly minus-6, as helpfully tallied by the tireless Micah Adams from ESPN Stats & Info.

As a blazer fan I've often watched lma in beast mode and he can be amazing. not steph-level amazing, but solid consensus nba all-star amazing. the spurs got a hell of a player when he signed with them.

so many salty opinions in the comments

https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/719165202336382976

Parker and Danny Green were outscored 51-6 by the Warriors' backcourt Sunday night.

meanwhile, Paul Millsap just became the first player to record at least 15 boards, 5 blocks and 5 triples in a game since the inception of the 3-point line in 1979-80 in Saturday night's big home win over Boston.

Not convinced that Millsap isn't better than Draymond tbh

draymond the better defensive player by a fair amount but it's prob closer than some people think

Milsapp has been a monster on D recently (and for most of the season tbf). Don't think Draymond is as good a paint/rim protector but he's more comfortable on a switch.

I used to get Millsap and Carl Landry mixed up in fantasy; are their games anything at all similar, having barely ever seen either of them play?

Don't think Draymond is as good a paint/rim protector

um dray has 112 blocks on the season
http://bkref.com/tiny/TMUxh

... but millsap has more

21 more in about 200 less minutes played

look at all them assists though

pass the ball, paul

lol i read your post with "a" in place of the "as"

Plus that turnover ratio...

Have to imagine he'd average a few more assists if he was kicking out to Steph and Klay instead of Kyle "hard regression to the mean" Korver and Touch me Teague me.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15131139/three-most-amazing-stephen-curry-shooting-charts-find-nba

milsap prob better than dray for most teams but drays better for the dubs

steph's true shooting % rn is .666 pray for him

steph has always been lowkey affiliated with satan tho

steph is huge into the devil

if you rearrange the letters in "wardell Stephen curry" you get "Mephistopheles" it's true

Stephen Curry led all guards with 108 screens that led to baskets.
