NBA / 21 / 22 / FG / FT / 3PM / TO / BL / STATS

the answer is booker imo

you could argue that jokic is statistically lapping the league *offensively* which btw i wouldn’t agree with

what stats are u looking at?

i understand what the stats say. but PER and other efficiency and/or advanced numbers are not the omniscient narrators of basketball. i think you could very reasonably argue that giannis is the most dominant offensive player in the NBA. i think you could also argue that raw scoring & shooting is so much more important than any other facet of basketball that, actually, KD or steph are better offensive players than jokic. you could of course quite reasonably argue that jokic is the best offensive player. but to act like there’s no discussion to be had because of PER & other type stats — i don’t agree with that.

ok I mean I can see the argument that he’s not the best player or even having the best season I was just wondering what you meant by that because you specifically said “statistically”

well im pretty sure most/every advanced number type stat would more or less support ice cr?m’s assertion that jokic is lapping the NBA offensively so that’s what i was referring to. perhaps i’m wrong & there are some that have other players at the top i haven’t looked at them all

Redidish had 33 on 8/13 from 3. I feel like he’s starting to establish himself

One final @ESPNStatsInfo stat: Boston went 4-for-39 on catch-and-shoot 3s in this game. Since Second Spectrum began tracking games in 2013-14, there have been 482 games – including this one – where a team shot at least 35 C&S 3s. Boston's shooting tonight ranked 482nd among them.

If the Bucks win their next 4 games then the winningest player in NBA history by win% would be....Donte DiVincenzo

do it for donte

he deserves this honor

rob williams 10-11-10

in a win over phoenix

5 blocks too!

at first i assumed they must have been playing a bad or sparse team but the suns have most of their main guys.

big game by the big guy

Leborn is 37….

43-14-4-2-2 in 29 mins and against maybe the worst defense of all time… but still.

7 games straight of 30+ points (lakers 2-5 tho)

Kyle Kuzma recorded a 91.3 defensive rating Thursday vs. Cleveland, his fourth-best rating of the season.#DCAboveAll | @DXCTechnology pic.twitter.com/YJcYLvGnSm

durants reluctance to hoist has always been a little interesting to me

Kevin Durant: 38% from 3 on 5.0 attempts per game

Lebron James: 38% from 3 on 7.9 attempts per game

on the derozan tip, this is a cool list, love who's tied with MJ and Kobe for most career buzzer beaters:

https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/buzzer-beaters.html

don't get why Ayton's dunk from last season is missing

reg season only maybe?

no, the list includes the offs. I was shocked that Steph and Klay never got a buzzer beater!

my mistake, MJ is the all time leader with 9, I missed the one he had with the wizards. The guy who compiled the list wrote an article about everyone who hit 4 or more:

that's a nicer line than i expected but honestly giddey was made in a lab to get a bunch of 10-11-10s

can't stop thinking of "Giddy Giddy" by Sparks whenever I see him

does he make you... excited

56 in a loss, that’s tough. every hawks player should be fined for allowing the blazers minus dame & CJ to score 136

I knew right away Milwaukee was gonna regret letting that guy go

if the heat finish in the top four, spoelstra really should be leading the conversation for coach of the year

The Miami Heat are 7th in the NBA in net rating and Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry have played in just 14 of the 39 games together. @5ReasonsSports

what a bizarre box score it was, too:

Clearly the answer to their woes is to give Bazemore more minutes.
