never seen anything like him. may never again

hes a bit iversonian but the game was so different then

yeah he's the closest but it does seem different

Warriors PR @WarriorsPR

Per @EliasSports, the Warriors are the first team in NBA history to have four different players hit four three-pointers in the same game

demar derozen is leading the nba in scoring

did not think he could improve upon his last year espesh after getting paid

Steven adams is 19-20 from the free throw line after going 58% last yr

Durant tied with MJ for 4th longest streak of consecutive 20+ pt games (streak is over, got 18 last night)

Kemba 40-10-6

Kemba might be the best pg in the east

kembas good

embiid is 27th in per

cp3 is #1 :)

would love for him to have an MVP season and the clippers win the NBA title

I have a feeling for some reason he'll fall short of the conference finals

>:|

lol agree w kev tho

if you remember that derrick rose won the MVP in the first year of the big 3 because people were disgusted by the heat and wanted to spite lebron it's not out of the question that cp could win it this year if the clippers are like a 60 win team

are they actually better this year? haven watched them yet.is their bench improved?

clips looked gooood when they played the spurs.

feel like the clips bench has solid upside as opposed to recent years -- ray felton, cole aldrich, mo speights are all dudes who can play legit NBA minutes

eric bledsoe with an 8-8-8

http://bkref.com/tiny/3vWMl

felton idk can't trust that dude

i keep waiting for J Crawford to slow down too but I'm not sure he's aged at all in the last 10 years.

Giannis lines are still the best

on the other hand not sure they have s single viable small forward on their team

his usage is like 41% lmao

wall should sign with the denver nuggets, effective immediately

russ srsly averaging a trip dub god bless him

friends i have to agree with ciderpress's suggestion

That would be awesome tbf

yah def an a+ match

celtics were entertaining and all but they don't blow anybody out and it bothers me

the defense is porous af which doesnt make much sense considering this is the exact same roster except with al horford in the sullinger spot lol

steals and other forced turnovers are down, that's the only relevant discrepancy i can see in the data. was gonna blame the rebounding but they were already towards the bottom of the league last year

literally brian scalabrine spends 50% of each broadcast repeating "i dont know how he does it" like a mantra

he's one of the most unblockable players in the nba

ive been having this big ongoing debate with our CFO about draymo and he believes hes the most overpaid and overrated player in the league, i usually just shake my head and ask if he really watches them play cos he must not if he believes that. hes like any random PF in the league could do what he does on that team. so i told him yesterday please watch the game and we can discuss tomorrow. he just came over and sheepishly conceded. have not yet comfrimt if my cfo is lagoon.

its me

figured

i think i posted about otto porter a couple weeks ago, he's having a very quiet breakout season

shooting 53% as a wing

he's gonna get a gigantic contract

i was actually the first person to post about porters breakout season

he might be getting traded, due to numerous bad signings the wiz probably can't afford to keep him

love too keep marcin gortat and ian mahinmi instead of a potential breakout star

Gortat contract is good but that mahimni contract is a franchise killer. also the nicholson one is weird why did they sign him only to not play him?

IT or RW?

RWB

oh if this season at this exact point in time counts then it's isaiah

no way is RWB true shooting .600 ever, you gotta either be good at 3s or big-man-efficient at 2s

larry bird is one of the remaining i think

or shoot a ton of FTs too. but yea feeling better about IT

i looked up IT and larry and they're right, so 1 more

did david robinson ever avg 29

doubt it

harden or brow?

harden and his FT marathons and brow is efficient

not averaging 29 tho i dont think

oh word, both are at 28ish

harden only avged 29 last season and he had .598 TS

larry bird and isaiah thomas are two more. shame on lagoon for not knowing who the good celtics are

last dude was an 80s player who always shows up on efficiency lists like these

i know both of those actually i just wanted to leave some for other ppl

is it hakeem

did hakeem ever score like that over a whole season

Most all-time wins in NBA history:

Celtics: 3,252
Lakers: 3,252

They face off Friday night in Boston on ESPN.

this ones for the whole enchilada!

Ah the classic best of 6505 series

clippers haven't beaten the warriors since 2014

30-20 for whiteside in 27 mins

PJ Tucker had 7 steals vs the bucks

Obscure stats:

The Heat have now won 11 games in a row, which is the longest active winning streak in the NBA. And yet, after their woeful start to the season, they are still just 22-30, which means their 11-game run is now tied for the longest winning streak ever by a team that’s still under .500. The 1996-97 Phoenix Suns won 11 in a row between March 20, 1997, and April 10, 1997, to improve from 27-39 to 38-39.

nice

crazy

their next 4 games are @ mil, @ bk, @ phi, and then home vs the magic

i bet the bucks beat them wed night but if they win that one it could get up near 15

dragic is shooting 48/44 this year putting up 20/6.5/4 with like half a d league roster

during the winning streak he's been shooting 57/59 which does not seem possible

there's too many good guards in the nba (and even in the east) for him to really get recognized (well maybe there's enough attention now), but he's been a borderline all star

hes Such a cool player. I like Tyler Johnson too and James johsnon seems to have figured some things out?

i loved suns dragic, glad to see him playing at such a high level. to me the question w/him was somewhat about how much he cared but currently he seems to be caring a lot.

whiteside is the perfect big to play w/ him, i think ever since they got the rotation settled he's been going off despite that rotation being like dion waiters james johnson and rodney mcgruder

hes Such a cool player. I like Tyler Johnson too and James johsnon seems to have figured some things out?

tyler johnson is awesome. james johnson is having a crazy good year by his standards, i think i was reading something recently that he credited the heat with getting him in shape, i think he dropped something like 25 pounds

is tony snell actually useful now or is that fake news?

when i watched them a couple nights ago he either got a wide open three or something easy off cutting. seems sutainable. obv dude should never attempt to create his own shot. Thing is tho Middleton comes back tonight so snell will likely slide to the bench where Giannis/Jabari wont be there to create space/shots for him.

Seems like the treadmill to me

The Noel deal is kind of crazy tbh, do teams hate his knees

i guess teams are spooked by having to give him his first big contract but he's only 22

I really wish the nuggets could have gotten him, would have been perfect I think

yeah he's perfect for jokic. would catch a lot of lobs.

speaking of jokic, 19-16-10

there are some censored party rumors about noel going around that just have to be good.

Westbrook is gonna do it, he's really gonna do it.

two 40-10-10 games in a row

8 of the top 15 players in RPM were drafted outside the top 10.

6 were drafted outside the top 20

are we reaching peak draft-order-doesn't-matter yet?

@Twolves_PR

During his stretch of 18 straight 20+ point performances, Wiggins is averaging 27.7 ppg on 50.3% shooting, 3.9 rpg and 2.8 apg.

who was the last guy who cld score like that and not do anything else, ray allen

allen was a good ballhandler and was underrated on defense iirc

answer is probably old man kobe lol

Keeping it Bucks; Michael Redd averaged 26.7 – 3.7 – 2.3 in '06

why isnt wiggins a better rebounder?

i was looking up some ben gordon stats to see how he rated in this discussion. had no idea he was still kicking around in the d-league.

Keeping it Bucks; Michael Redd averaged 26.7 – 3.7 – 2.3 in '06

why isnt wiggins a better rebounder?

Motor, effort

he could Average like 5-6 boards with minimal effort

remember seeing a study a while ago about what makes players good rebounders and the thing that had the highest correlation with getting lots of rebounds was trying to get lots of rebounds

its science

science has so much to teach us

prove it

science = has so much to teach us

A lot of rebounding is technique and boxing out but Barkley once said "I see the ball and I go get it"

loving the rebound science talk, they should call u clear deglass nice son

dubs first back2back loses in 146 games, a record

if you don't include last years finals ba-dum-dunnnn

:/

heh

Basically there are just two major parts to rebounding: getting close enough to the ball so you can grab it and keeping opposing players from getting close to the ball so they can't rebound it. Anything that applies to rebounding well fits either one category or the other.

spottie, you looked confused but this is a reference to the fact that the warriors had a 3-1 lead in the 2016 nba finals but lost three games in a row to lose the 2016 nba finals to the cleveland cavaliers

i thought u were above this smh

i dont understand. above this like the warriors were above the cavs in the finals?

I figured he meant above like how lebron james lifted the larry obrien trophy above his head in a sign of victory

Seems strong

Shows how effective whiteside is when the basketball is nearby

tfw the basketball is nearby

feels like draymond is the frontrunner for DPOY w Gobert in 2nd Kawhi in 3rd. id be down with any of those three winning it but draymond has a few 'game saving' plays to his credit this year.

I haven't really picked up on what people are saying about dpoy but it should be Rudy

They're both elite in drtg but Gobert is much more of the anchor/more indispensable to what they do

anchor vs versatility. both essential to their teams success

I just feel like when draymond sits things are still ok, at least when they had Durant.

gobert a hair ahead in DRPM (they're 1 and 2), but that can probably be attributed to the height prior

feel like there hasnt been any —buzz— around dpoy in years

I mean in comparison to mvp or roy or whatever yeah not much but last year there was some discussion about kawhi and draymon

yah last year was super suspenseful!

nurkic 28-20-8-6. career highs in points, boards, blocks.

wld like to see that redone with only guys between the ages of 23-29 to isolate the true bad defense talent

Vince Carter in 30 minutes last night v Bux:

24-5-2-3

on 8/8 shooting (6/6 from 3)

Vince Carter is 40 years old

Lowe and arnovitz were talking briefly about him and how he's a free agent next season without really touching on the fact that he'd be 41 at some pt then. also playing 23 minutes a night!

and he still dunks so basically vince has a painting in his attic that ages for him

he and trill are gonna be a formidable frontline

lol every one one of those shots looks terrible

haha nah

i might be a believer in skal

the defense williams and dudley were playing in those highlights is appalling

Those pivot moves were nice

skal def threw random shit up and it went in but he looks like an NBA player for sure

The kawhi thing is still weird

I think Robert Covington is becoming one of my favorite players

Regardless, Leonard's exclusion is emblematic of the need to apply context to defensive numbers. So don't view his omission as anything more than what it is: a fluke that's in no way meant to be interpreted as an insult to one of the game's great wing stoppers.

now let us proceed to the context free list lol

haa

gobert 35/13, including 11 ORB

westbrook 18/11/14 on 6/6 FG and 6/6 FT (first known trip dub on 100% shooting)

pg13 scored 37 points off 13 2PA, 13 3PA, and 13 FTA

pacers have now alternated win/loss for 15 straight games eg LWLWLWLWLWLWLWL

Kinda nuts how we’re almost 400 games into Kawhi’s career, and he still has more total steals than fouls. Think about how easy it is to foul

that Booker game is so weird. its almost like the gameplan was straight up "get Booker 70 points".

yeah that game should come with a huge asterix imo.

westbrook with another crazy line

57/13/11

most points in a trip dub ever

wow

def disagree with booker asterisk talk tho. celtics defended him hard down the stretch

Still need to watch that game. Got it recorded.

the philadephia 76ers defended wilt as hard as they could when he scored 100, too.

celtics had a pretty good cushion that game, they cldve taken the ball out of bookers hands if they wanted to

they didn't double until quite late in the piece iirc

isn't the beef not that the celts weren't guarding him hard but that the suns were purposefully lengthening the game to get him more possessions (i didn't watch)

ya they took some fouls at the very end, it happened in some of the other big scoring games too apparently

draymo first player w 150 steals + 100 blocks in a season since Wade 09

russ 50-16-10 and the game winning 3. only 2 TOs.

broke Oscars trip dubs in a season record. idk what to think about this Russ year tbf.

its incredibly impressive and he's not the mvp.

that rebounding video from a week or so back left a weird taste in my mouth abt rwb this year tbh

i mean i'm not quite at "this needs an asterisk!" level or anything but the numbers are inflated in a gross way imo

what he's done is historic and also a bunch of stat padding. it just goes to show how talented he is and how down his teammates are to boost his ass like that. he should get all the teammates' names tatted on his back if he wins MVP.

like idk how much yall put into advanced stats, but here we go...

Win Shares (thru apr9 2017)
Harden (1st)
Kawhi (3rd)
Russ (5th)
Bron (6th)

Win Shares per 48 (thru apr9 2017)
KD (1st)
Kawhi (2nd)
Harden (5th)
Russ (10th)
Bron (11th)

altho...
Value over replacement player (thru apr9 2017)
Russ (1st by a long shot)
Harden (2nd)
Bron (3rd)
Kawhi (5th)
KD (10th)

but then...
Offensive Rating/Defensive Rating (thru apr9 2017)
Russ (112/104)
Harden (118/107)
Kawhi (121/101)

also
effective FG% (thru apr9 2017)
Kawhi .540
Harden .524
Westbrook .475

ok i think that's good. so basically russ put all the sliders on 100 to max out his stats and his team mostly benefited from it, but they're going to win less than 50 games. kawhi is playing more efficient offense although doing less on that end and is taking on a larger defensive role and leading a team to >60 wins. harden is having the best offensive season of the three (im judging off a combination of efficiency and productivity) and responsible for the most wins of all three.

to me the question is, is it harden or kawhi? but then again ive always hated russell so ymmv.

VORP is based on box plus-minus, which as the name implies is heavily derived from the box score. if we're giving russ credit for averaging a triple-double then giving him credit for leading in VORP/BPM is kind of redundant

you didn't mention real plus-minus, which CP3 leads B)

the closest stats we have to baseball's WAR are probably WS and the WAR that's derived from RPM

russ tbf is crushing PER too

1 russ
2 harden
3 bron
4 cp3
500 kawhi

h8u

i like the cp3 inclusion

I think Javale had really bad on/off numbers for the first couple months so something really started rolling there

I think they love playing with him on the court. gives them that lob option. Opens up their interior passing.
