arrest him

43/8/8 for more than a month is crazy, has anyone ever had a 5-6 week split like this?

The tweet about harden scoring 143 buckets on zero assists was deleted. Is that not true?

he was referencing it yesterday........

Harden’s teammates have responded to his five game unassisted bucket steak by shooting 30% on open 3s and 33% on wide open 3s

Looks like it's true:

the bucket steak is my least favorite cut of beef.

RIP to a great weird run

Mike Zavagno@MZavagno11

James Harden’s unassisted basket streak ended at the 6:36 mark of the 1Q tonight, courtesy of Kenneth Faried (who wasn’t even on the team when it began)
Finally tally
302 consecutive points on 87 unassisted baskets

btw harden had 40-11-6-1-3

doncic last two games
31-8-8-1-2
35-12-10

2nd trip dub of season. no teenager has ever recorded multiple triple doubles or a 30 point triple double.

21-13-10-3-2 for jokic, average night for him

Lauri Markkanen has 3 straight 30-point games for 1st time in his career.

so the more facial hair you have, the further out you score from. makes sense.

lol

did not expect to see terrence ross leading from that zone.

Dangelo Russell (22 years old) is the youngest player in NBA history to hit 500 three-pointers

Lou Williams: 45-1-4-1

Dangelo Russ: 28-7-14-1

PG: 47-10-12-2 and last game 45-11-3-1 so far this month he's averaging 38-7-4-2

pg goin nuts

i was thinking pau gasol but he's old lol

pau gasol is going nuts but bc he's a 3rd string C on a mediocre team in a small market without an opera house

lou williams’ 45 were off the bench, too

PG13 in a virtual tie for the RPM lead now, what an insane season he's had

up there w steph and harden for making insane 3s off moves

i havent watched much raptors this year but kawhi is ranked #235 in drpm? i know defensive stats are flawed and ive been hearing his defense hasnt been great this year... but that is quite a fall. he was top 10 both years he won dpoy.

PG a true hoister

interesting...it’s only based on part of this season and these numbers iirc are best interpreted with data over multiple seasons. and there are box score priors that are inputted too — his steals and blocks are down this year so that might have something to do with it.

brow 3 points on 1/9 shooting...

avery bradley whos been a trash heap all year and hasnt score more than 15 in a game this year randomly 33/6/6

remember when he played for brad stevens and everyone thought he was good it was two years ago

now he's gotta coach up superstars different game for ya boy

yup

brother brad needs to grow a beard. none of the c's respect him bc he looks like a youngster.

bearded brother brad cld work tbh

pair the beard with some really smart looking glasses and youve got something for sure

PIPM seems to be a lot better from what i've seen of it. of course rpm is a joke so the bar is low.

all plus minus is fundamentally philosophically flawed

I don't agree with that, but clearly there are some issues -- mostly owing to small sample sizes and clustered lineups -- that make it unreliable in some cases

like horford's RPM is really good, 32nd in the league, which seems consistent with his reputation and production this year. like with any statistic some human judgment is needed -- think of theis's numbers like you would a utility infielder whose batting line is really solid vs very favorable matchups, whose numbers would almost certainly come back to earth with more playing time and against more varied opposition. he's played 600 minutes this year, like 1/3 of most starters

like with any stat there are some players where you scratch your head, and the statistics are in their relative infancy and will hopefully continue to improve. I do think the philosophy of RPM/PIPM is basically what the game is all about though: everything else being equal (& obv this is where the kinks are still being worked out), what is the effect of this player being on the floor on the score of the game?
