Players get tired and/or start playing tighter D, generally?

2nd half of the season looks more like the playoffs (half-court offense, conservative) than the first half?

jokic putting up 24-6-6 in 15 mins is insane

he feasts on gobert

heard on bomani’s podcast today that when they made the original 50 best list it wasn’t top 50 but 10 PG, 10 SG, 10 SF, 10 PF, 10 C

there should just be a separate list for before the aba-nba merger

a very vociferous pro-dwight, anti-reggie pod

russ had turnover quadruple double tonight

nice

jimmy butler last 4 games (last number is steals)

36-3-2-5
17-14-7-4
32-10-5-1
27-5-7-3

or this

Jimmy Butler over his last 4 games:

28.0 PPG
8.0 RPG
5.3 APG
3.3 SPG
58.6% FG
40% 3PT
93.3% FT

Neither the Hawks (29-29) nor the Wizards (16-16) missed a free throw in tonight's game.

It's the most combined free throws made in a game without a miss in NBA history.

Good one

Totally random, but damn if there aren't some stories here:

So funky but 7 of last 12 #1 picks have played zero games this season:
2010: John Wall
2011: Kai Irving
2013: Anthony Bennett
2016: Ben Simmons
2017: Markelle Fultz
2019: Zion Williamson
2021: Cade Cunningham

lol at Kai Irving.

cunningham has since played a game fwiw

wonder what anthony bennett is up to

looks like he's maybe playing in jerusalem?

i just realized that you cd call him tony bennett and i feel like there are so many good jokes that we were deprived of bc hes bad at the nba

cp passed nash tonight for 3rd all time in assists. if he avgs about 500 per season for 4 more seasons he'll catch kidd

Per Heat: Tyler Herro's 157 points off the bench are most by a reserve through a team's first seven games. The previous record was 156 by Dallas' Jason Terry, in 2007, and the Clippers' Michael Brooks in 1980.

Tyler “The Microwave” Herro

N.B. Under most circumstances I do not recommend microwaving a hero

Dammit I don’t know how to do images on Zing

magic have the youngest starting lineup in league history

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FDW91lpWQAwsec6?format=jpg&name=large

im looking a the warriors there thinking if they get klay back

maybe make some sort of trade

they have options

dubs heat would be a cool finals

draymond should be top 3 in dpoy voting every year

Sixers having the #1 offense is so weird.

def doesn't raise the ben simmons trade value!

So far this season, 46 players have attempted at least 20 off-the-dribble threes.

Here they are, sorted by best percentage: pic.twitter.com/gmX9hkT1V0

Jokic leads the Nuggets in ppg, apg, rpg, spg, bpg, 3PM, 3P%, FGM, FG%, FTM, FT%

he’s so good

Insane

Oh pic.twitter.com/ld62Ft7Z5W

— Critical Thinker (@AndyGlockner) November 7, 2021

these aren’t real stats but still cool

offensive box plus minus

In 29.5 minutes, Russell Westbrook had 8 points on 17 true shot attempts and 31% usage. He made just 1 of 13 field goal attempts and converted 5/8 at the line. He had turnovers on a quarter of his possessions.

For the season, he's now at 47% true shooting (NBA average is 55%). pic.twitter.com/6Fm2nv1jmB

russ 0/6 at the rim tonight yikes

lakers 5 starters scored 24 points tonight

everyone calm down!!

def my favorite lakers team in some years

The whole point of getting Russ is so lebron and ad could take reg season games off…

duncan robinson is currently second in the in NBA in terms of active streaks of consecutive games played with a made three pointer, with 57 games

number 1 is steph curry with 133. lol

jokic 25-15-10-2-2, 1 morris twin KO

Curry 50-7-10-3-1

Stephen Curry of the @warriors is the only NBA player in the last 25 years to have 50+ points, 10+ assists and a plus-minus of +30 or better in a single game.

harden was shooting 10-11 per game before last season

if players feel like they can crowd dame knowing they can be physical w/ him going to the rim it prob changes a lot of how he has to play offense

i dont see it on the drives its the pull up jumpers that arent getting the calls form what ive seen
