Love the theory that Trae started to suck once his idol (Steve nash) told the media what Trae was doing (ref baiting) wasn’t basketball.

damn that’s rough

well, in his first four games he shot 14, 17, 16 and 15 free throws. in his last 7 games he’s had one 15 FTA game vs the knicks otherwise he hasn’t shot more than 6 FTs in a game. so *something* has changed since nash complained whether it’s trae, or how he’s defended or how refs call him

prob injured

Yeah it’s more than the ft attempts. His little floater is way off and he looks tentative in the lane.

So far this season, 39 players are averaging 20+ points per game (min. five games played)

who the heck is keljin blevins?

no idea. just looked him up apparently a 2 way player for pdx

lol boban

Blevins is Damian Lillard's cousin, according to wiki

love that duncan robinson stat. has dude ever even stepped foot inside a 3 point line?

he’s social distancing

blevins’ story is kinda fascinating in that he sucks at basketball, his ceiling is sucking at basketball, and he was brought up to the big leagues bc he is dame’s cousin after averaging like 4 and 2 in the g league last year

lol duncan robinson knows that nobody gets paid based off of offensive rebounds

kawhi would disagree

amazing

interesting vuch is in that straight on 3 spot where the little guys usually are

Based on that graphic I conclude CJ McCollum is at least twice as good at scoring the basketball as any other player.

I confess I haven't watched a Wizards game in a good long while but I was surprised at Beal in that midrange spot. Just checked in bref and his shot profile is dramatically shifted this year from 3s to 2s. Only 26% of his shots are 3s, lowest of his career by far.

i watched a wizards game and it seems like beal is just kinda doing whatever having fun out there

not a bad way to be

i was listening to something and they were talking about why beal hasn't forced his way out yet and the point was made that it's fun to take all the shots and score 30 a game and do whatever you want out there.

vooch loves that shot

27/26 with 5 blocks for Capela

Colin Sexton with 18 points in about 3 1/2 minutes

clint capela with a points/rebounds/blocks triple double. 13/19/10.

nice

I love a steals or blocks trip dub. His stats have been pretty wild the last couple games

I wonder if anyone's had a 25-25 game followed by a blocks trip dub before. doubt it!

maybe wilt if they had been recording blocks then

538 updated their RAPTOR statz yesterday:

Mike Conley's really crushing it this year

big reason why jazz are cruising right now

Curry passed reggie for 2nd all time on 3s. Should catch ray next season or so.

It is his destiny.

41 pts 9 reb 5 asst on 14-20 FG, 12-14 FT from bam tonight

guys are putting up some pretty good numbers vs the nets who could have predicted

harden's points over the last 4 games: 34-21-19-12

boogie 28-17-5 !

As you might expect with the number of blowouts early this season, there are some sizeable differences between teams' records and their point differential -- the latter of which typically predicts better going forward. pic.twitter.com/j0wvGQhmWF

that actually looks pretty linear to me, I guess in normal seasons it must be even tighter, even after only 20 games?

yeah not really sure what hes saying re its relationship to the typical distro, mb thats the dark gray part? just liked the graph

Luka Doncic is shooting 29.3% from three on 7 attempts per game this season.

Only Kelly Oubre is shooting worse from distance this season (min 100 total attempts). pic.twitter.com/mzurKZtaHz

Luka Dončić and Draymond Green have the same career three-point percentage

NBA's iso scoring leaders: Harden twice (lol), Kyrie Irving and Durant pic.twitter.com/h8M3KAzWVH

— Seerat Sohi (@seeratsohi) February 4, 2021

in that first harden/cp3 rockets year, the two of them were #1 and #2 in iso frequency AND iso scoring efficiency

that team was fascinating. as will be this team in the playoffs.
