HOOPS STATS in the new era

VJ edgecombe 34 pts on 13/16 shooting. third most points in an NBA debut all-time, the most since wilt chamberlain in 1959

wemby: 1 million dunks (nba record)

Rip old stats thread

Wemby 40-15 0 tos first time since wilt or one of those old bigs

luke kornet 3 fouls, one of them flagrant, in his first 4
minutes on the court with a new team. wondering if anyone's ever topped that.

SGA 55-8-5-2-1, 23 of those points at the line

Thunder 1st team ever to open the season with b2b 2OT games

I was wondering how often any teams has played b2b multiple OT games...Spurs somehow played two triple OT games in a row in Dec 2014, which was the only time that happened since the Baltimore Bullets of 1951

aaron gordon 7/7 from three in the first half, tying the all time record for most 3s in the first half without a miss

jokic 33-15-16-3

Tonight was Nikola Jokic’s 78th career game leading BOTH teams in points, rebounds and assists.

That’s the most such games by any player since the 1976 NBA-ABA merger, 10 more than the next closest player (LeBron James - 68).

crazy

Timberwolves Defensive ratings stats on/off for Gobert are crazy, either second best in the league or so far beyond the worst you need the hubble telescope to see it

With Gobert (247 min): 118.1 ORTG, 109.4 DRTG, 8.7 net rating
Without Gobert (107 mins): 120.1 ORTG, 144.2 DRTG, -24.2 net rating

144.2 is unfathomable. and that sample size isn’t that small

it's been interesting, watching Rudy Gobert 100x more than I ever would have in a lifetime. He's a singularly weird and great and terrible and frustrating player. And almost everything he really does well are the types of things that are not suited to be appreciated in the social media highlights era, and everything he's terrible at sticks out like a sore thumb.

like a combination of a defensive savant and a guy that seems like he's seeing a basketball for the first time in his life.

sometimes the way he drops an easy pass as if he has two canoe paddles for hands it's like...i don't even know

i think ive said this before but best seats i ever had at a game was like 8th row and suns were playing jazz. seeing gobert at like eye level was so shocking. on tv he looks like a normal skinny tall nba player but he would barely be bending over and his hands we're like at his shins, shoulders way more broad than it seems, then he'd put his arms out wide and i have no idea how anyone completes a pass or gets a shot off in his vicinity. ive seen shaq with pretty good seats, and it was even more alien than that somehow. but i do remember how clunky he was on offense, just no feel or touch. i still think the most unlikely shot in nba history is that game 7 shot clock running down fadeaway to help put the nuggets away a couple years back.

zach lowe, nate duncan et al have been noting that it looks like he’s slowing down in terms of being able to move his feet and contest shots at the rim

yeah I mean he's at the age where he's not going to get better

he also had that one bizarre outburst against the Lakers in the playoffs last year where he scored 27 points and looked incredible on offense for one day

that was wild

this last part was unnecessary and needed to come with a trigger warning

lol im sure like the lebron game 7 block for me, i just have to avert my ears/eyes when it gets shown or talked about

luckily rudy gobert highlights dont get much burn

Victor Nonga Wembanyama-de Fautereau-Vassel tonight:
38 pts (including 6-9 from 3, 10-10 from the line), 12 rebs, 5 asts, 5 blocks, 1 stl (as a treat)

also killed nik vucevic in public and no police arrived on the scene, very hard to do

grayson allen 42-2-4-3 in 28 minutes (10 3s)

jokic was 16/19 from the field tonight for 35 points, 15/17 from 2 point range. (at least one of those misses was a missed tip-in/OREB.)

he’s now shooting .786 from 2 point range for the season

Victor Nonga Wembanyama-de Fautereau-Vassel tonight:
38 pts (including 6-9 from 3, 10-10 from the line), 12 rebs, 5 asts, 5 blocks, 1 stl (as a treat)

also killed nik vucevic in public and no police arrived on the scene, very hard to do

I paid 500 to sit on the 4th row and witness this. Worth every penny. Sorry Vuc! RIP.

hell yeah

money well spent

Jokic so far in November:

- 32.0 PPG
- 12.0 RPG
- 12.0 APG
- 73/48/85 splits
- 81% true shooting
- +72 plus-minus
- 5-0 record

He’s the first player in NBA history to average a 30-point triple double on 80% TS over a 5+ game span

comical numbers per usual. also good timing for he and murray/gordon to be so hot while his bandmates (braun, cam) try to remember how to shoot again

dece

what is the deal with cam johnson, he has to be injured right? must admit i haven't watched much of him since he went to the nets but even the suns version was far superior to this

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G5nYQmOW0AAbo8B?format=png&name=medium

speaking of curry 46-5-5-2 on back end of road b2b against a top 5 defense

8/9 from 2 with 16 FTAs vs a wemby defense is impressive

feel like he's getting acclimated to what they need him to do. in a shooting slump too, cant imagine it will hold much longer

cam left the game in the first quarter last night with some shoulder issue. not sure if that's been a thing that's been bothering him the whole time or not. he's missed a bunch of open looks and it doesn't really make sense

even tho he was a role player for the suns i feel like there has to be some adjustment involved when moving from "you're one of the top scorers on a horrible team and you can do whatever you want out there and literally nobody cares" to coming into a system like denver's w/ an established hierarchy and shots for role players coming in distinct ways, having actual responsibility, having to play serious basketball etc

he had decent role on those good suns teams

check the running hook shot at 1:36
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNcAOjK8gOQ

most skilled baller ever

also the b2b deep bankers at 3:10 why not

he was insane last night, i was hoppin mad

a 31-18-14 triple double w/ 7 steals for jalen johnson in utah tonight, sheesh

hawks doing kinda okay without trae, huh

incredible line

He’s looking like vintage bron out there with his ability to run a break and either plow right through you or drop a sweet dime. Praying for his health

Okongwu was 8 for 14 (!!!!!) from three in that game as well

wtf

a 31-18-14 triple double w/ 7 steals for jalen johnson in utah tonight, sheesh

these were all career highs, crazy

wonder if thats happened before for a non rookie starter to set career highs in 4 categories

yeah was wondering the same i bet no guy whos gotten starters minutes for 100 games like johnson has ever done it before

speaking of triple dubs, steph castle tonight against the mavs:
40 pts (15-19), 12 rebs, 12 assists, 3 steals, 1 block in 32 minutes

only spur to get a 40-pointtriple double: david robinson

Wow

wemby 40-12 in 26mins

37 in the first half, too. 23 points in the first six minutes. just blitzed the star-less lakers until they collectively gave up.

for any fans of vorps and schnorps and good website design this was just overhauled today and looks great

https://databallr.com/

kon is leading the league in total threes made

kon academy

kon man

kontian ethics

https://databallr.com/

damn this is pretty nice

In the team total stats you can sort to remove garbage time stats... don't think I've seen that on espn.com lol

jaylen brown second in the nba in usage, third on his own team in time of possession

do not look at on/off data

i have seen it and needless to say do not care because its not real, i mean do people think if the celtics benched jaylen brown then the team would be +15 from this point on, if not then what is the point of said data

that’s not the point of it no but I’m just teasing anyway

WHO leads the league in off the dribble 3P%??? pic.twitter.com/kclRaBRiBr

the hart thing is obv small sample size theater, but sharing this mostly for anthony edwards. sheesh

ant turing into an elite shooter is wild stuff, his shooting fell apart in the offs last year but maybe its more robust this year

that’s not the point of it no but I’m just teasing anyway

im assuming you watched the same "nerd sesh" video i did, disappointing stuff just repeating on off numbers like theyre gospel, derrick white is amazing hes always been like this (*except when he was on the spurs), tbf expecting a nerd to attempt to understand what numbers mean is prob a bridge too far

lagoon you’re getting very touchy it was just a joke! JB is really good, the MVP stuff is a little silly and that’s why everyone’s making content about it, just part of the cycle

his on-off numbers while pretty eye catching are mostly a product of the celtics depth and lineups they play which is partly credit to mazz, no one other than the most literal chart readers thinks he’s not a good player

honestly i dont think theres much logical explanation for how the celtics are +5 with jb and +15 without him, the +5 is about what youd figure, the +15 is just nonsensical, some of it is theyve rested jb 6 times against bad teams and went 5-1, but still think its prob just some weird heater

yeah +15 is an insane number there’s got to be some funny business going on under the hood

derrick white is amazing hes always been like this (*except when he was on the spurs)

wrong, he was awesome on the spurs

was referring to the stats the guy in the video was talking about fwiw

oh, i didn’t watch that

yeah i mean i didnt post it tbf i just referred to it

true true, my bad

celtics broke the league efg% record tonight with an 80.8

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HDAL1hIasAALb7S?format=png&name=small

hes p good

Bam Adebayo tonight:
- 83 points, 2nd-most in a game in NBA history
- 36 made FT, most in NBA history
- 43 FTA, most in NBA history
- 22 3PA, tied for 3rd-most in a game in NBA history

‪NBA Stat‬ nbastat.bsky.social‬

Bam Adebayo and Simone Fontecchio combined for 101 total points, becoming the 6th duo in NBA history to reach 100 points in a game.

It's the only duo to achieve this feat without Wilt Chamberlain being part of it and the only one since 1962.

simone fontecchio will forever be remembered in the record books for this amazing feat

remember that guy fuckin uh simon focaccia

He also played with Wilt in 62 right

bam cibattabayo

great day for Italians in sports yesterday

He also played with Wilt in 62 right

hahah that was gonna be my joke that simone fontecchio sounds like a 1950s syracuse nationals player before the league was fully integrated

in my mind Fontecchio looks like Pablo Prigioni, who of course was a time traveler from the 1950s NBA

I have an early childhood memory of Bernard King scoring 50 one time? For Golden State? Am I dreaming this?

I just looked it up - Bernard King scored at least 50 points EIGHT times lol

the first time he did it i was 7 years old, and he was playing for GSW. his FG% was 80%

yeah he was headed to alltime great status before he blew out his knee

Clippers shot 63% last night and Wolves shot 60%. Broadcast team was talking about rarity of both teams shooting 60+, but I didn't catch the deets and don't know how to look up how rare it is. But must be pretty rare?

kawhi had 45-5-5 on 15/20 fg i believe and continues a pretty incredible season even tho it seemed like he came out of the gates slow to me

Joel Embiid has now officially missed as many regular season games as he has played in his career. #sixers

Games played: 485

Games missed: 485

rip big man

the atlanta hawks of player availability

lol

lmao
