It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

Uh never mind? That was weird. Two techs and gets to stay in

delay of game tech apparently. hanging on rim not a unsportsmanlike? weird.

Never heard of that til tonight

This is insane

That’s sick, Steph. The hesitation and change of pace in front of Beverley gives him the lane. Just crafty as hell pic.twitter.com/AqyDXDePrk

he had some amazing moves tonight

looks like luke walton saw scottie pippen's advice about guarding harden

I mean it’s worth a shot ha

it's been over 5 weeks since harden scored less than 30 in a game (he scored 29)

government shutdown is super powering him

End of philly okc game was willlllllld.

Glad the bulls gave boylen that extension

Zach LaVine: "Something is obviously wrong. We weren't losing by double digits earlier in the season. We might've been losing but we didn't even have a full roster. I don't know. We're a better team now. And we're getting blown out. It doesn't make a lot of sense."

my opinion is that zach lavine is bad and also boylen is bad

Boysenberry is the pantomime nobody can even be bothered to throw tomato’s at, but no way is the takeaway from this half season that Lavine is bad, I mean woeful defensively but 14 other players ever have put up his numbers that efficiently under the age of 23. In a less disastrous setup hes easily an all star

I saw the Boylen autocorrect but left it cause I think perception of him would be vastly different if he was actually called boysenberry

zach lavine's 22-4-4 is the 171st such season by someone 23 and under

http://bkref.com/tiny/DrqU7

you did points and not points per game, theres actually 42

of which lavine is on pace to be 42nd out of 42 in win shares

*that efficiently* aka used his ts% as a baseline

he needs to hoist better before i get excited

excuse me scoring 22 points in a season is an accomplishment to me

Would question the value of win shares as a stat in evaluating players on teams that aren’t expected to win.

yeah thats just what it sorts those by by default or i wouldnt have even looked at the stat

i just think as a one way player he needs to be more efficient than he currently is to be intriguing

I’d argue he’s been very efficient given the circumstances. Given his skill set he’s being asked to do far too much

i mean you might be right, i just cant see him as anything other than a high stats guy on a bad team. he might sneak in as an all-star reserve one day, but right now kyrie, kemba, simmons, oladipo, beal, and lowry are all better backcourt players.

scoring 22 in _this_ economy is all right, but he's never had a positive on/off rating ever, idk idk

i'm a big fan of lavine's too... i think i said i would've traded wiggins to the bulls instead and i don't feel too awful about that right now. i think the style he plays is not really conducive to making a bad team better but i would love to see him on a good team that could cover for his faults. he would be really good in an eric gordon kinda role for any of the top teams in the east right now imo

i agree with that, wiggins is badder

i do think he's better than wiggins

probably a bit better than eric gordon even if that's the comp we're making

Yeah the well paid corpse of Wiggins is a pretty low bar

Doris Burke absolutely went in on him and the following play he proceeds to completely prove her point

was watching this and i was like, damn, doris is going in. it wasnt like he had a rough play, it was like, this guy is gutless fuck this

I was always a believer in De'aaron Fox, but I am now slowly coming around on Buddy Hield.

Slowly?! Dude has legit game bending potential. Probably one of the 4 best shooters in the league over the last 3 years

I don't have enough exposure to the kings to move any faster. Stats tell me much less than watching game play.

They’ve been pretty fun to watch all year, fun comes from Fox but much of the viability is in buddy keeping them in games just via shooting

Also, Willie Cauley-Stein's smile is amazing.

yeah hield turned out as advertised after a lot of skepticism

hes old as hell tho so its p much wysiwyg

it's nice that he's taking two more threes a game this year and still shooting his best-ever percentage. i would still like him to do more other basketball things but yeah that's not going to happen.

i mean what he is right now would be welcome on p much any team

Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball will miss 4-to-6 weeks with a Grade 3 left ankle sprain.

RIP lakers

super tough to lose one of your top ten players when LeBron is about to return

lol

just got home from the spurs game which was my son's first. it was competitive, but the spurs struggled with the clippers' p'n'r and the defensive intensity of avery bradley and pat beverley. derrick white continues to be that dude tho. honestly, he's been playing as the second best player on the team and i wish he would assert himself more bc he's capable.

congrats to bise jr on becoming a big nba boy

he got mad at me for booing one of the players during their free throws, and i had to teach him about the finer details of home court advantage

short version: it's not mean bc he is very far away and cannot see or hear my boos

generational wisdom
