2019/2020 = NBA > STATS

james harden is a monster

Suns been good and Booker hasn’t really played/shot well yet .

Baynes>Ayton

two truths and no lie

ayton is good u guys just because he does drugs doesnt mean hes a bad person

I know people can't always reconcile what STL and BLK% mean so let me clarify it.

Thybulle has 12 steals and 6 blocks in 4 games.

Chris Paul has the best all time career offensive rating of 122.54.

Through five (5) games this season, Aron Baynes has an offensive rating of 134 😳 pic.twitter.com/Au78hQSitv

Hmmm. Maybe they should be comparing Baynes' five game rating to the all-time best rating across... five games.

no

ya I'm beginning to suspect sunOfficial Aron Baynes Fan Club mayyyyy be biased here

madness

the god

Ivica Zubac held LaMarcus Aldridge to 0-of-4 shooting last night in the ~16 possession they matched up on, according to Second Spectrum's player tracking data. Zubac is holding players to 15-of-46 shooting (32.6%) overall and 7-of-22 shooting (31.8%) inside 8 feet.

clips are destined just give em their rings now

D Rose been Ballin out. >20ppg on >55% shooting. Plus 6 apg when he hasn't averaged 5 or more since leaving the Bulls.
Drummond with another 20/20 game.

Phil Jackson was just a year early

kawhi leonard assist percentage

2012: 6:6
2013: 7.7
2014: 10.4
2015: 13.0
2016: 13.0
2017: 18.9
2018: 17.7
2019: 16.4
2020: 41.7

that’s crazy

kawhi can just get good at whatever he wants its not a big deal to him

it’s a bit unfair to others

wait did kawhi do to cp3 what the monstars did to MJ?

cp3 assist percentage

2012: 43.8
2013: 46.5
2014: 48.9
2015: 47.4
2016: 52.7
2017: 46.8
2018: 40.9
2019: 39.3
2020: 20.6

o shit

I’m not saying kawhi definitely stole cp3’s talent in a similar way to how the monstars did it but I’m just saying it’s suspicious

hahahaha

haaa

7'1" Meyers Leonard recorded 0 blocks last season

wuuuut lol how is that even possible

Meyers Leonard has 5 blocks in his last two games

Pacers finally use the TJ TJ TJ Holiday Holiday lineup

an historic moment

the triple double lineup

bless

Ha very nice

russ was -46 in 26 minutes tonight

hm that seems bad

possibly better than -26 in 46 minutes

Lakers defense is really solid so far.

ad is good

maybe good enough to embarrass bron into trying

Dwight has been giving them some great minutes

if he keeps this up it changes their whole outlook

Jonathan Isaac became just the third player in the @NBA since 1983-84 with 13+ points, 10+ rebounds, 5+ assists, 6+ blocked shots and 4+ steals in a single game.

Isaac joins Hakeem Olajuwon (8 times) and Ralph Sampson as the only players to accomplish the feat.#MagicAboveAll

this is awesome

I’m absolutely beside myself with rage over the methodology here. This isn’t a bit, I’m mad. I’m livid

LA and New York do NOT have good strip clubs. This is remedial stuff

lol I have only been to one strip club in my life when I turned 21 in Vegas

What is the rating criteria?

He basically sorted what the top 10 strip clubs in each city were by amount of google hits and then looked at like yelp ratings

source data aside i think it was still pretty funny

I honestly am a bit confused as to how New York and LA ended up with good google ratings

And a confounding factor in all this is that Houston is the best

bit creeped out by how much you seem to know about strip clubs tbh

bam +42 in the first two games of heat-pacers

someone on twitter asked the question who would you rather have bam or embiid and at first i laughed then i thought about it a bit..

yeah i think you could argue that you’re more likely to win a title with bam as your no 2 than embiid as your no 1. bam is certainly the more malleable player. and i feel like everyone would agree it would be a shock if bam’s career wasn’t considerably longer

otm to all points.

bingo. i feel like embiid in the right situation can still be great (san antonio)

ask that question again in 2021

CP -36 in 37 minutes

SGA +7
Schroe 0
Dort +4

he's really had no impact on the series whatsoever

CP3 sweeping the Rox and getting Dan Tony fired was #1 on my playoffs wishlist. Oh well, hopefully Dame is up for it.

why on earth would you want him fired

he's not coming back anyway so it's kind of a moot point.

is there anyone in the wings? and surely that might change if hou win it

haven't heard of any other candidates yet

cp3 might not be back with OKC either

Who’s gonna take on that contract? Maybe the year after next when it’s a 44m expiring but not this next season

even more so if he disappears these playoffs

why on earth would you want him fired

Because the Rockets play the ugliest basketball and I want them to implode so maybe I never have to see that offense again.

riiight

kind of weird that you're suggesting d'antoni has any say over what they run

remember kevin love

Thinking about what Tatum's per game targets are going to be next year and figured 25/8/4. Looked up 25/8/4 seasons for guys under 25 years old.

It's five guys who won an MVP in their career, a 3x scoring champ, Luka Doncic, Kevin Love, and Karl Towns.

The Unofficial NBA Ref Ball Database https://t.co/YuHI7bu7mx

Contains all the fouls and violations called by each referee between 2016 and 2020 (Regular Season + Playoffs)

— llewellyn jean (@owenlhjphillips) December 9, 2020

id be interested to see some analysis of ref stats but it needs to be more thought out than what ive seen elsewhere. im pretty sure refs follow a defined pattern as they move around the floor so the baseline refs will naturally focus more on defensive 3 seconds, crew chiefs probably call more techs etc

youd also assume that if a ref is known for calling a lot of say freedom of movement fouls then the other refs will naturally call fewer of them because they know the first ref can be relied on to make the call, which would make their individual counting stats look off but not lead to a worse outcome for the game. really this database needs advanced stats that adjusts for how each ref team performs

can we start at 20/21 thread?

we usually start new threads on opening day or after

fair enough
