NBA NUMB3RS 2020-21

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?

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

and american and national mean the same thing in this case

one could go as far as to say it was the same sport played with very similar rules

its disrespectful to dr j to not include the aba numbers, which is frankly beyond the pale

as mod i declare aba stats to be valid and canon

Blake Griffin this season:

31.1 MPG
12.3 PPG
36.5 FG%
30.5 3P% (worst in NBA, min 6+ 3PA)
6.2 3PA/G

He hasn’t dunked since 2019. pic.twitter.com/ONmt3rgIvC

Blake was always gonna get cooked younger than most but jeez

brutal

wonder if hes gonna pick up that $39m option next year haha

that offseason buzz about how blake looked good and could maybe be a piece for a contender not looking quite right

trade bait talk

Going out sad.

Steph is on a heater my friends

Steph Curry over his last eight games:

282 points, (35.3 per game) 96-for-169 from the field, 53-for-101 from beyond the arc.

John Collins shot 31/39 in his two games against Dallas this year

the world needs a steph mvp season

His numbers are on par with his unanimous mvp season they just need to win more games.

feel like if he keeps rolling and no one else does theyll prob win enough game for him to get it

maybe but when there are multiple worthy options so much of the mvp race has to do with buzz and narratives, and Jokic and Embiid are winning big in that column right now
