STATS 16-17

mavs stumbled into a handful of young guys in noel, curry, the inexplicable hbarnes, that could form the core of a decent team given a few years of development, cohesion, and no rondos. not gonna beat the world but the post-dirk era is maybe starting to come into focus. not sure how they get back into the conversation unless one of these dudes makes a serious leap but at least the franchise is making sensible moves lately

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?

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.

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

With 10 steals tonight, the Warriors are the first team in the NBA with 11-straight games with 10+ steals since the Celtics in 1998.

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.
