harden 24-12-15

spurs lost 3 straight at home after only losing 1 last season

Andrew Wiggins is shooting 64% from three so far this season

yikes

This russ line from last night is getting closer to expectations

36-7-7-1-2

but with 8 TOs and 9-26 fg 3-12 tp 15-18 ft

TWELVE THREES

hes so crazy its incredible

meanwhile his perfect pnr partner steven adams is getting 8 shots a game

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)

(72 20+ pt games)

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

27-6-5-4-4

crazy

clips are leading the league in defense, i just watched their game v the wolves from last night and they p much looked like a machine on both ends, they werent blowing the wolves out of the water but there was just a steady professional dominance happening til they were ahead by 15 at the end of the game, theyre in v good form, even blakes D looked super solid he made kat look p bad a couple times when they were matched up on the block

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

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

lol jk bise, we have had a surfeit of mvp worthy seasons this year

The Warriors offensive rating in JaVale McGee's 739 minutes this season: 121.4. D-rating was 102.7, net rating +18.7.

http://bkref.com/tiny/Gvvpr

jokic cool list alert

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.

Vince Carter, Jamal Crawford and Kyle Korver are all tied in career made threes at the end of the season: http://bkref.com/tiny/1foYu

Marjanovic has 2 of the top 75 PER seasons for any player who played over 200 minutes. The only other player on the list with less than 900 minutes is Michael Jordan.

Vince Carter, Jamal Crawford and Kyle Korver are all tied

Unless Carter is ageless as he now seems to be, he is bound to fall back in this race.

dray 19-12-7-5-2

never been done, but here's list of players (mostly system guys) who have done at least x-10-7-3-2 in the offs
