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

ah, missed that part

Pretty wild stat for a guard to lead in especially when Giannis is in the league.

I like Ja but that kind of stat just makes me think the rest of his team can't shoot

Kev, I do remember similar stat wrt Rose

you can check em all here https://www.nba.com/stats/players/misc/?sort=PTS_PAINT&dir=-1&Season=2021-22&SeasonType=Regular%20Season

could be rose lead the league in total paint points but not per game or something

Ayo Dosunmu 44 assists last 4 games (9 TOs)

he has been quite a nice find

don’t have the first clue who that is

luka doncic now has the second most 30 point, 10 rebound, 15 assist games in the history of the NBA (passing magic johnson, behind oscar robertson)

also now 10th all time in triple doubles

The best projected off. unit in the DARKO era was the Iggy/Steph/Curry/Klay/Barnes, on May 16, 2016, which projected 19.1 pts/100 better than league average.
The worst was the truly disastrous Wood/Theis/KPJ/J. Green/Tate lineup Houston used this year, at -11.7 pts/100.

Embiid 40/14/10 in 33 minutes.

Lakers star LeBron James has surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most points scored in NBA history combining regular season and postseason.

45-15-8 for luka (mavs scored 97 points)

pretty crazy for a guy who averages less than a block a game

No idea if it's a record, but Nikola Jokic having 3 game-saving blocks in the last 6 seconds of games in one season is kind of crazy.

Throw in Barton's vs. Minnesota (https://t.co/o3T7UvulZ8) & the Nuggets have 4 as a team. pic.twitter.com/oJa1eUut3P

derozan another 40 pointer with no 3PA. thats two of those in the last few weeks. only happened a handful of times in the last 5-6 seasons:

https://go.nba.com/vdxhq

Derozan is dictionary definition of "balling out of his goddamn mind" this season and especially of late.

DeRozan has scored at least 35 points while shooting 50% from the field in each of his last six games, tying Wilt Chamberlain for the longest such streak in NBA history.

thats insane

so crazy for a 2

like you'd think lebron or shaq/giannis would be the ones to match that record

With their 135-87 victory over the 76ers, The Celtics are the first team in NBA history to win 3 straight road games by at least 30 points. pic.twitter.com/2hqDX7pgX9

pretty happy i pulled derozan in the later rounds of this year's ILH draft

50-14 gianni’s

giannis*

w/ their win last night, the Suns have the best clutch record in the 26 seasons for which we have clutch data.

1. Phoenix '21-22: 23-3, .885
2. Golden State '15-16: 30-4, .882
3. Dallas '06-07: 32-6, .842
4. Miami '12-13: 32-8, .800https://t.co/3riGFYeobD

Thank you for setting a great example and playing the game with supreme skill @DeMar_DeRozan

I came to post about DeRozan...With the usual disclaimer of casual fandom, I was kind of surprised that such a record stood for so long. It doesn't seem that imposing to me; I would have thought Kareem or LeBron, at the very least, would have done that multiple times.

that feels like giannis shade lol xp

Hustle, heart, energy.

Bulls rookie Ayo Dosunmu already has all those qualities in his game, but what’s the next step for him? #TheVoidNBA

lol 100%

Thanks for the Ayo link, Spottie.
Add him to Kawhi and Draymond on my list of guys I saw play some in NCAA and couldn't understand why their draft stock wasn't higher. I just assume nba scouts know better than I do whose game will transfer to next level, plus I don't watch much NCAA so figure I'm just not aware of the guys who get drafted ahead of them.

excellent humblebrag

though i hear you, Kawhi was one of those guys who goes in the middle of the first round and all the commentators are in agreement that he's going to be a great player - there's some weird cognitive dissonance about it, like not a lot of explanation of why aren't they getting picked earlier? Other guys I remember in that zone were Caron Butler and Kenneth Faried. Counterpoint is Justise Winslow who definitely had that similar strain of hype

36 points on 21 shots for bam last night, he had one of those games where he looked like the closest thing to giannis anywhere in the league

tbf the spurs have no PFs to speak of and the two bigs they did play were jock landale and zach collins BUT bam was v v v v good

for sure i mean there’s a reason he only scores 19 ppg. but just in terms of doing stuff like protecting the rim and then taking the ball the entire length of the court and finishing thru contact, at his size there might be only one other guy in the league who does that

Harden 29/10/16/5 blks.

embiid 27fta, harden 10

5 steals not blks for Harden

whoops, yeah.

this guy is real good

Tyrese Haliburton with the Pacers (6 games):

19.8 PPG
4.3 RPG
10.7 APG
2.0 SPG
67.0% TS

— pickuphoop (@pickuphoop) February 28, 2022

Rumor was the Sixers had a deal for Haliburton plus for Simmons the week of the deadline and Kings backed out.

If the Heat close this out in the fourth -- and they lead by 24 -- this will be the 22nd non-losing season since Pat Riley took over the Miami Heat.... 27 seasons ago.

The Knicks have had 18 losing seasons since he left.

I think this one has fallen out of favor for various reasons, but this season's RPM leaderboard was finally posted

http://www.espn.com/nba/statistics/rpm

cause it has gobert in the top ten

I mean I think gobert is clearly a top 10 player, probably the most underrated player in the league at this point. his impact on the jazz is pretty undeniable

i think if you sort by defense you see the issue with basing a stat off plus minus i mean it wants you to believe that the nuggets have 4 of the 16 best defensive players in the NBA, that jokic, looney and capella are all better defensive centers than gobert, that steph curry is a top 20 defender in the league etc. there is prob some degree of accuracy to what it spits out for offense as is true for all advanced stats but the flaws in the overall numbers are pretty obvious bcuz of the defense component i.e. it’s deflating gobert’s impact bcuz they upgraded at back up center by switching out favors for whiteside

i’m always saying moritz wagner is the third best offensive center in the NBA tho so me and RPM are aligned there
