NBA NUMB3RS 2020-21

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

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

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.

will be a little weirded out if they get all the way to late spring without two of those guys deciding they hate the third guy

lol true

if kyrie takes a 2 week vacation every month they should be fine.

Dray 15 assists in 3 qs.

watched a clip of his assists and dallas was playing off him but just like standing in no mans land and he was picking them apart lol

cant beleive how many back cuts the mavs fell for last night.

Zion Williamson is shooting 74.1% on isolation this season, the best mark in the league.

He is shooting better on isos than on free-throws (67.9%). pic.twitter.com/Cw5kXhPFYd

Future GOAT

hes putting up pretty crazy numbers at the age of 20

Warriors have quietly climbed to #10 in defensive rating: 109.3. Kerr has publicly targeted the top-10 since Day 1 of training camp. They struggle to rebound, foul too much, but hold opponents to 44.1 percent shooting, third lowest in NBA.

I think since draymonds been back it’s been top 5

iverson sixers except with steph basketball team concept

xps re Zion: Players should have the option for 1:1 iso instead of free throws, opponent gets to choose their defender. Would be maximum entertainment

Haha love it

Awesome. What's the shot clock? Do they start from half court?

gonna make some calls, maybe we can get this done before monday

Vintage draymond 2-6-15-6-4 no made fgs.

Curry 57-2-5-2
Luka 42-7-11-1

steph ties van vleet for most 3s in a game this season with 11

Nice. Those things can be surprisingly captivating on their own, but nice touch to add the video.

garnett peaking his head up in the final spot before immediately being over taken by duncan, nice detail

amazing that dan issel and elvin hayes are still so far up there. never hear anything about those guys.

yeah thought the same, of more specifically "who really is dan issel"

Literally never heard the name!

Have to assume those numbers include ABA, I think Issel spent a good chunk of his career there (also Dr J so high up).

Elvin Hayes is before my time but based on counting stats alone he definitely seems under-discussed. Before I became a basketball trivia junkie Elvin Hayes and Elgin Baylor were definitely in the “I always get those 2 mixed up” pile

Issel is in the pile of guys who poured on points in the pre-Jordan era with like Terry Cummings, Kiki Vandeweghe, Jack Sikma, and more prominently Gervin, English, Dantley.

Maybe instead of good-stats-bad-team guys they are good-stats-bad-era?

Yah same had never heard of issel

issell was coach of the nuggets during my young collecting basketball cards days, so shiny skybox gold and a bad suit is how he lives in my memory

Have to assume those numbers include ABA, I think Issel spent a good chunk of his career there (also Dr J so high up).

good call, that's what it is. it should really be nba totals only!

i feel the aba totals should be included

Maybe instead of good-stats-bad-team guys they are good-stats-bad-era?

yeah the 70s were kinda the nbas lost decade

speak, memory

i feel the aba totals should be included

spoken like a dan issel fan who's deep undercover

i dan even know what issel about

i feel the aba totals should be included

The reason the NBA and ABA merged was because the ABA succeeded in signing a high percentage of the available hoops talent and was regularly grabbing away high NBA draft picks by offering them more money. This resulted in the ABA producing a high quality, enjoyable product that compared well with the NBA. Those ABA stats are worthy of respect.

i respect them, and i also respect the fact that they weren't accumulated in the nba

I dan even own an issel

they weren't accumulated in the nba

The ABA and the NBA became as one, eternally merged and subsumed into one another, like the Holy Trinity, but with only two components.

also the letters are almost the same
