i'm glad everyone's finally come around on westbrook being bad

wow for some reason i thought stackhouse was an ok shooter.

that guy was pure volume on really trash teams as I recall it, very of his era

Wasn’t he pretty much just a below average nba player apart from one season

mostly iirc

drummond kicks things off with 32-23-2-3-4

should have been 2 or 3 blocks

Mavs score over 100 in a win with no player getting at least 15 points

They have some cool players

brow 40-10 in 30mins

took 27 fts lol

some early infos

Pascal Siakam is averaging 27.5 points, up from 16.9 last season, and he’s doing it with a drastically different style than before.

Siakam fed off corner 3s and cuts in the halfcourt, but now he's creating for himself using post-ups and pick-and-rolls. https://t.co/7uHLuW8Pr7 pic.twitter.com/Ka96chnQpr

Among the 28 lineups with 24+ minutes this season, the Nuggets second unit and Nuggets first unit are the slowest lineups in the NBA (bench at 90.1, starters at 96.1).

The Pacers starters (97.3), Jazz starters (99.8) and Hawks starters (100.3) round out the slowest five units.

I’m not sure what’s going on with the Nuggets pace. Doesn’t make sense

I think they were pretty slow last year but they also would push the ball off most rebounds

their best player is very slow

Yeah but I feel like he’s better when the pace is fast!

I guess my big issue is that the pace is really slow right now but they aren’t really posting Jokic up that much

gross

James Harden leads the NBA in points despite ranking 16th in made field goals.

How does he do it?

He's scoring 15.8 points per game at the free throw line!

That's more than Jokic, CP3, and Al Horford are scoring overall pic.twitter.com/25RKqEjLUq

Through games on Oct. 30, here's how all members of the Phoenix Suns have fared in TPA during the 2019-20 #NBA season. #RisePHX pic.twitter.com/uiba9qPm5x

james harden is a monster

Suns been good and Booker hasn’t really played/shot well yet .

Baynes>Ayton

two truths and no lie

ayton is good u guys just because he does drugs doesnt mean hes a bad person

I know people can't always reconcile what STL and BLK% mean so let me clarify it.

Thybulle has 12 steals and 6 blocks in 4 games.

— TS% Eliot (@Cosmis) October 31, 2019

Chris Paul has the best all time career offensive rating of 122.54.

Through five (5) games this season, Aron Baynes has an offensive rating of 134 😳 pic.twitter.com/Au78hQSitv

— sunOfficial Aron Baynes Fan Club (@BaynesFanClub) November 1, 2019

Hmmm. Maybe they should be comparing Baynes' five game rating to the all-time best rating across... five games.

no

ya I'm beginning to suspect sunOfficial Aron Baynes Fan Club mayyyyy be biased here

madness

the god

Ivica Zubac held LaMarcus Aldridge to 0-of-4 shooting last night in the ~16 possession they matched up on, according to Second Spectrum's player tracking data. Zubac is holding players to 15-of-46 shooting (32.6%) overall and 7-of-22 shooting (31.8%) inside 8 feet.

clips are destined just give em their rings now

D Rose been Ballin out. >20ppg on >55% shooting. Plus 6 apg when he hasn't averaged 5 or more since leaving the Bulls.
Drummond with another 20/20 game.

Phil Jackson was just a year early

kawhi leonard assist percentage

2012: 6:6
2013: 7.7
2014: 10.4
2015: 13.0
2016: 13.0
2017: 18.9
2018: 17.7
2019: 16.4
2020: 41.7

that’s crazy

kawhi can just get good at whatever he wants its not a big deal to him

it’s a bit unfair to others

wait did kawhi do to cp3 what the monstars did to MJ?

cp3 assist percentage

2012: 43.8
2013: 46.5
2014: 48.9
2015: 47.4
2016: 52.7
2017: 46.8
2018: 40.9
2019: 39.3
2020: 20.6

o shit

I’m not saying kawhi definitely stole cp3’s talent in a similar way to how the monstars did it but I’m just saying it’s suspicious

hahahaha

haaa

7'1" Meyers Leonard recorded 0 blocks last season

wuuuut lol how is that even possible

― lag∞n, Wednesday, October 10, 2018 12:43 PM (one year ago) bookmarkflaglink

Meyers Leonard has 5 blocks in his last two games

Pacers finally use the TJ TJ TJ Holiday Holiday lineup

an historic moment

the triple double lineup

bless

"Lillard is the only player in league history other than Wilt Chamberlain with three 60-plus point games in the same season."

heat been letting tyler herro play point guard for huge stretches of games lately w/ butler & dragic sitting and he's looked pretty awesome. had his first career 30 point game vs the thunder tonight ... his game is expanding, some of these finishes are really creative and he's had some good passes too. i still think his ideal role is as a dynamite bench scorer but i feel like he has perennial sixth man of the year potential. he'll also be a great crunch time player at least on offense bcuz you can't leave him open but he's already great at getting his shot off too when guys contest, and now he's adding some playmaking. he will have one of the nastiest step backs in the game sooner rather than later as well.

hes doin stuff like this as a one and done rookie gotta think hes got bigger things ahead than sixth man

proud to see a ballislife white make it in the big leagues

between herro, pj and keldon, this kentucky class is good af

i was like who tf is keldon then i said to myself i bet hes on the spurs

mod tools test post

i think Modtoolstes T'post is in the G League, no?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/pelicans-zion-williamson-did-not-record-a-block-or-steal-in-bubble/ar-BB17Uyrm

didnt seem like any of the pelicans were trying

this guys arms are freaky

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AIIFlL5zfQ

kid is legit. getting more confident on offense too. has has some really nice finishes on cuts this season.

booker-bridges-ayton is a nice a backbone

rubio and saric are nice complements to that

cam johnson who everyone hated them taking in the lottery cause hes 35 looks like hell be a solid player

yeah hes been great and a big part of their surge. oubre is hurt and cam has played the starting role perfectly. opens up the floor for everythign to work.

oubre might be bad iirc

Prob best cast as a 6th man but doubt he’d be willing to take that role. Lotta teams need wings so he should have suiters.

hollinger: While the Mavs can score, calling this the “best offense ever” isn’t quite true. They have the highest Offensive Efficiency mark in league annals since they began tracking turnovers, but the rising offensive tide of recent years lifts all boats. Relative to the league, this isn’t even the best Dallas offense ever. It’s not even close, actually. This season’s Mavs were 6.1 points better than the league average, which is nice but not historically amazing. The 2003-04 Steve Nash-Dirk Nowitzki Mavs, who smoked the league for a then-titillating 112.1 points per 100, were actually 9.2 points beyond the norm.

Interesting

bam +42 in the first two games of heat-pacers

someone on twitter asked the question who would you rather have bam or embiid and at first i laughed then i thought about it a bit..

yeah i think you could argue that you’re more likely to win a title with bam as your no 2 than embiid as your no 1. bam is certainly the more malleable player. and i feel like everyone would agree it would be a shock if bam’s career wasn’t considerably longer

otm to all points.

bingo. i feel like embiid in the right situation can still be great (san antonio)

ask that question again in 2021

CP -36 in 37 minutes

SGA +7
Schroe 0
Dort +4

he's really had no impact on the series whatsoever

CP3 sweeping the Rox and getting Dan Tony fired was #1 on my playoffs wishlist. Oh well, hopefully Dame is up for it.

why on earth would you want him fired

he's not coming back anyway so it's kind of a moot point.

is there anyone in the wings? and surely that might change if hou win it

haven't heard of any other candidates yet

cp3 might not be back with OKC either

Who’s gonna take on that contract? Maybe the year after next when it’s a 44m expiring but not this next season

even more so if he disappears these playoffs

why on earth would you want him fired

Because the Rockets play the ugliest basketball and I want them to implode so maybe I never have to see that offense again.

riiight

kind of weird that you're suggesting d'antoni has any say over what they run

remember kevin love

Thinking about what Tatum's per game targets are going to be next year and figured 25/8/4. Looked up 25/8/4 seasons for guys under 25 years old.

It's five guys who won an MVP in their career, a 3x scoring champ, Luka Doncic, Kevin Love, and Karl Towns.

The Unofficial NBA Ref Ball Database https://t.co/YuHI7bu7mx

Contains all the fouls and violations called by each referee between 2016 and 2020 (Regular Season + Playoffs)

— llewellyn jean (@owenlhjphillips) December 9, 2020

id be interested to see some analysis of ref stats but it needs to be more thought out than what ive seen elsewhere. im pretty sure refs follow a defined pattern as they move around the floor so the baseline refs will naturally focus more on defensive 3 seconds, crew chiefs probably call more techs etc

youd also assume that if a ref is known for calling a lot of say freedom of movement fouls then the other refs will naturally call fewer of them because they know the first ref can be relied on to make the call, which would make their individual counting stats look off but not lead to a worse outcome for the game. really this database needs advanced stats that adjusts for how each ref team performs

can we start at 20/21 thread?

we usually start new threads on opening day or after

fair enough
