NBA NUMB3RS 2020-21

Pelicans defense!

and somehow their great offense went to hell lol, maybe theyre playing different guys idk

Everytime I look at one of these Goldsberry graphs I do a bunch of confused double takes for the first 10 seconds before I remember that they are not for the whole season.

Pels D definitely jumps out, and Warriors #2!

haha like if the Timberwolves could even play a conventionally "bad" level of defense they might be competitive, like being that far below the Nets is incredible

jazz really just been hanging out in the top right of the top right all season

struggling to derive any meaning from a 15 game sample size at the end of this current basketball season

who’s hot, who’s not

ever heard of “the big mo” jordan

its sad when ppl dont kno about the mo

Steph Curry has made 136 threes since April 1st.

Trae Young has made 132 since the start of the season.

Per ESPN Stats & Info, the Thunder have been outscored by 490 points in their last 25 games, the worst margin of defeat by any team in any 25-game span in NBA history. Previous worst was by the 92-93 Mavs (489 points), who went 11-71 that season.

That is so weird. I know the Sixers have been beating up on undermanned creampuffs, but they haven't had much continuity in their starters and their bench hasn't seemed as good in the second half.

wolves!
nets!

it's been nice to see the wizards turn into a fun team

another day another article about how basketball stats are bad https://www.theringer.com/nba/2021/5/11/22423517/nba-defense-analytics-nikola-jokic

good article thx. hadn’t even heard of a couple of those metrics eg LEBRON

LEBRON, never heard of him

iirc there was general agreement on here before the season that they had a dece roster but westbrook was so bad FOR WHATEVER REASON and then he got back to being himself and they were dece

yeah they're this feelgood story but really they turned into the low-end playoff team everyone was expecting back in december

i haven't heard any scott brooks extension buzz but by the grace of god i want that to happen

yeah i mean why not do the wizards have some better idea

I looked at every Last Two Minute report this season to see which players have been on the wrong end of a bad call most often. Suddenly, it makes sense why Jokic complains as often as he doeshttps://t.co/TpB5y3ch9b pic.twitter.com/sLTV9bUJ8W

Eh I think the wiz would be at least as good as the Hawks/knicks. Not that that’s saying much but they really had a terrible first half of the season. Also picking up gafford was nice though they def need an upgrade at the 5

Tony Snell is officially the first player in NBA history to have a 50/50/100 season (min 100 attempts).

50.9 FG%

feel like rounding should count here

with nba stars commenting on the 50-40-90 club and the league instituting a play-in tourney, i think we are, for better or worse, in the middle of a bill simmons renaissance

might be good news for lagoon's beloved celtics

truly a deal w the devil

Wonder how big of a jump Curry’s shooting percentages would make if they removed his end of quarter heaves

he should just make those imo

surely someone has done that story to determine who most improves in 3pt% from having the outliers removed

that site cleaning the glass has a heave filter for its shooting percentages but i think you need a subscription to see those stats. steph takes so many threes that i feel like removing his heaves prob wouldn’t effect his percentage that much

I am once again asking

that heaves not count as three point attempts unless they go in

idk its a shot you know it was shot

I checked and it's actually a heave

btw jokic turned in the 10th-highest PER of all time this year, p cool

zones increasing

steph leading the league with 4 zones

vucevic is all no one wants these zones ok i will take them

the middleton left dunkers spot one is unexpected

yeah randle too on the other side wouldnt think allstar players would be getting their points on the baseline

but its actually all allstars inside the arc

“The Warriors led the league in dunks this year despite not having anyone in the top 17. Rudy Gobert led the NBA with 231 dunks this season. Nobody on the Warriors made more than 84. The team total was 370 dunks spread across the roster.” https://t.co/AojiAMHhrK
