NBA / 21 / 22 / FG / FT / 3PM / TO / BL / STATS

good stats post them here

russell westbrook in his lakers debut!
8-5-4-0-0, 4/13, -23
including an uncontested layup and an “assist” in garbage time

hear me out what if brodie washed

Thing is… he can’t really stat pad on this team. Feel like his numbers are gonna take a pretty big hit on this team

we have two years of history now where westbrook changed teams and was basically god awful for like 3 months before figuring it out and being pretty good for the rest of the season, so we’ll see. the lakers for real have no shooting tho

lamelo 7/9 from 3

i think maybe in like 4 years i’ll come to accept that he’s a good 3 point shooter

jokic 32-16-7-3-1 with 6 turnovers, leading the nuggets in every category

lebron 9 threes to 4 free throws and 2 rebounds tonight. he’s just saving his body right…

I would say that even I could pull off that stat line in the NBA but there's no way I'd last 21 minutes out there

lol yes, a civilian would get posted up and bodied and carried out in less than five

30-7 and 32-9 in back to back games for miles bridges. did not think he'd reach this level as a scorer. he's a really good small ball player

yeah his development has been very good

cole anthony 29-16-8

i checked that rebound number on two two sites btw

jalen green scored 30 points in his 3rd nba game hes 19 years old

seems p good

steven adams first three games as a grizzly

8-14-3
17-9-5
14-16-6

maybe there’s something wrong in new orleans, hard to tell

wow big nums m8

It's not exactly a stat, but I don't know what other thread it fits in. On the 75th anniversary list of the "75 best players of all time" the NBA announced, Dame Lillard was the youngest player to make the list. Hey-oo!

*anthony davis is 3 years younger than damian and made the list

I was misinformed -- by a local sports writer.

dwight has a better resume than them both but everyones kind of forgotten about that due to reasons

it boils down to all the voters didn't want to vote for dwight bc everyone hates dwight

how i break it down to an extent

yah dwight is prob a top 50 player honestly. but lol at his exclusion

dwight is easily the most egregious snub, don’t really have an opinion about the 50s wites but the first guy I’d probably leave off is reggie miller

they just kept the top 50 from last time so it was really a 25 (26) list of new guys

reggie is v impt for 90s hoop history imo

sure I mean lots of guys are important

reggie belongs on the list imo if he played in the current era his stats would be crazy. you could make not just the historical figure argument (which i think is important — you can’t tell a history of 90s nba without him, which is true of john starks too but reggie’s skill level rises to a certain level) but also that he was a player ahead of his time who predicted where the game would go

he was such an amazing heal too, another guy whos ruined his legacy

Reggie hit an absolutely *insane* amount of threes for his era, it’s really hard to believe in retrospect

the og hoister. i really would think much more highly of him had he never broadcasted

prob woulda had a chip or two had the malice @ the palace not happened

isn’t the problem with dwight not just that ppl don’t like him but that his peak was actually pretty short? he was done as an elite player at age 29, for an all time great player to not have any impact into their 30s is pretty rare. does anyone remember what team dwight was on when he was 31 years old? (the hawks). if you go by all star game selections his 8 put him in the 50s on that list — same as dikembe
mutumbo & vince carter but also steve nash & dave cowens. he prob should’ve been on the 75 list but him falling off a cliff as a player at a time when most elite guys still have 5 years of great basketball left isn’t really anyone else’s fault

isn’t that mostly due to injuries though? his back just stopped cooperating iirc

mcgradys another guy like that

well dwight never really developed any actual skills and once him posting up stopped becoming even halfway useful he kinda became a zero on offense. he’s definitely one of the 75 best athletes in NBA history. probably one of the 75 best players too. but he was a beast for only like 5-6 years when he was at his athletic peak. once he left orlando he wasn’t the same, could still get lots of rebounds i guess

he's sustained a nice role player role and got a chip.

came outta high school and was pretty quickly impactful, not the shortest of peaks but for sure robbed of prime years with the back injury

this is a really strong resume

he's sustained a nice role player role and got a chip.

he was the 2nd best player in the league for a while

dragged an orlando team that had absolutely no business to the finals

all while subsisting entirely on skittles

objection your honor

i think i just expected him to be out of the league soon after his hawks stint?

hoping he will tear apart the lakers from the inside this time tho.

if you go by all star game selections his 8 put him in the 50s on that list

5 of which are first team, which puts him in the 20s, even more impressive considering there’s only 1 center spot. an open and shut case if you ask me

I see the argument for reggie for sure but the nature of a list like this is lots of good and important players are going to be left off. as I alluded to the real answer for who to leave off would be some guy from the 50s or whatever but it’s so hard to compare those early guys to guys from today. apparently the voters felt the same way because everyone seemed to just grandfather the old list in

other than dwight tho there probably isn’t an obvious snub out of current players. simmons voted for luka and jokic, which you can definitely make the case for either way. lowe apparently voted for iguodala, which…

they literally grandfathered the old list in, only voted on the new guys

yeah that's also why draymond is on there

only vs euros tho

Every shot from Tyrese Haliburton to tie or take the lead in the last 2 minutes this season https://t.co/Qu4MzHg5H9 pic.twitter.com/66A9H5UcAi

— Pitless (@pitlessball) May 7, 2025

Tyrese Haliburton is 10-11 on shots to tie or take the lead in the last two minutes this year

more like tysheesh clutchiburton

real sick stuff

he should pretend every shot is a game winner

let the record show the one miss was defended by derrick white of the boston celtics

(no need to look too deeply into what happened after that in that game)

jokic has a type

https://i.imgur.com/eCO8i6u.png

https://bsky.app/profile/owenphillips.bsky.social/post/3lpcy72rm2k26

couple notably bad defenders on there

confused by that chart, what is the common denominator supposed to be there?

i suspect those are the top ten guys who have limited jokics scoring while defending him more than 125 possessions

it was a bit confusing to me as well bcuz he was RTing himself saying he was correct by showing that jaylin williams is the worst of this group but you have to figure it means he's the 10th best at it

he def couldve been clearer its also maybe not the absolute best measure but on the other hand its just a post

plus/minus leaders for the 2025 offs

this might lead one to believe that OKC is a pretty good team

https://dunksandthrees.com/epm/actual?seasontype=4

playoff EPM is up now for those who like vorps and schnorps and things of that nature. pretty much what you’d expect although brunson is a lot lower than I’d have thought (it basically thinks he’s played the worst defense of all time)

one of the funniest charts

austin reaves 51-11-9

crazy, on 12/22 shooting, 21/22 FTs. and only the second-most efficient 50-burger of the week!

22 FTA is crazy

hoop collective pod today highlighted a rockets/spurs game from dec 3 2019 where james harden put up 50/9/6 on 11-37 from the field, 4-20 from three, and 24-24 from the field. i would say that they should have banned him from the league the next day however that would have prevented him from singlehandedly tanking embiid's prime, but maybe a suspension of a few games would have been a good idea

24-24 from the line, sorry

edgecomb first guard ever to average 25-5-5 through his first three games

I'm trying to keep myself in check but he looks like he might be a star. They have also played some bad teams so far.

he looks really good, unclear if he has primary creator stuff but even if hes more of a second banana he has such an all around game hell still be really good

76ers looking up. anything they can get going forward from embiid and pg will just be icing

allow me to be the wet blanked bcuz they still seem pretty screwed to me. they've scraped out some wins against mediocre east teams which i guess can be a consistent thing this season but when you're getting zero or actively harmful play from $100 million dollars in salary and have no way to change that for 2-3 seasons well, that bill is going to come due

yeah but often teams in this situation dont have any young guns to be excited about and build around.

obv sixers fans should be excited about edgecombe but they're in the honeymoon period with this build right now, there are no expectations to win and nobody is scheming to exploit their size in the backcourt, they're not having to work mccain into the fold either, they aren't in a playoff series getting pounded on switches every time down the court etc drink it in while you can

the sixers would be wise to follow the blazer's example of buying out ayton's contract and let embiid drift away in a golden life raft. they're in a rebuild whether they admit it or not.

um, he has 4 years left on his contract

that contract is still one of the craziest of all time

um, he has 4 years left on his contract

to quote a very acute and accurate observation: "when you're getting zero or actively harmful play from $100 million dollars in salary and have no way to change that for 2-3 seasons well, that bill is going to come due"

pretty weird sitch to have a couple really good young players and a couple of deeply underwater multi year vet contracts at the same time

if i was a sixers fan i'd be willing to hold out hope that PG can bounce back enough to be moved at the deadline, i don't think it's completely crazy but also probably not likely

hes 35 with two more years left on his deal after this season and hes barely seen the court since hes been a sixer, not impossible that someone takes him off their hands but probably theyre just eating that contract

it would be pretty hilarious if they stretched embiid

It's not earth-shattering, but OKC are getting some good production out of second-year player Ajay Mitchell. Wouldn't be 4-0 without him,

18.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists so far.

Good value out of a second-rounder who's locked up for three years at less than $3M/year.

obv their top-level star power is elite, but okc's ability to scout and develop at all levels is really impressive. late 1st, 2nd round, undrafted, etc. they just find guys.

after a pretty bad run of picks and misevaluations!

eyyyy omelettes, broken eggs, etc

having a quarter of all the draft picks over the last x year helps

OKC drafted pretty terribly between Harden and the 2020s rebuild, albeit often with low picks.

But they've got some nice pieces recently - Aaron Wiggins at #55 too.

Trae young at 19.2% from 3 so far. Keep up lil man!

random first week thought but last year shai and giannis were 1-2 in ppg. they're both in the top 5 this year, along with maxey (first), reaves (fourth) and lauri (fifth). for obv reasons i assume reaves will drop out of the race but maxey and lauri are both on teams where their scoring is badly needed and should be largely unimpeded + both dudes are still in a stage of their careers where they'd be motivated to try and win the scoring title, i could see either of them making a real push all year. lauri's stats in particular are kinda crazy so far

wemby will prob be in the mix

lauri idk dont think he has enough self creation to do it

maxey has PG coming back, mccain coming back, and (semi-likely) more minutes/shots going to embiid in the future. could still do it cos all those guys seem to always been hurt. lauri maybe a more realistic shot but not sure if he's wired that way.

jokic will also likely not push for the top 5 this year, which will help. the offense has been de-emphasizing his postups, which tbf are very efficient but probably contribute to a lot of wear and tear over the year, and the result so far has been more connectedness and the #1 offense in the league
