This year, Chris Paul is now 55-of-97 on long mid-range jumpers in the 4th quarter (59.1%)

For perspective: Kevin Durant is shooting 48.7% on those shots in 4th quarters https://t.co/cnueuY36qO

offense has been off the charts 2nd half of the season and offs

Random - No team has ever won fewer than 2 games in a playoff series in which it had an effective FG% off 55% or higher.

Nets (0-3) have an eFG% of 57.4%.
Nuggets (1-3) have an eFG% of 55.9%.

"defense wins championships" stocks holding steady in this rough market

probably in part related to all the fouls

It’s the first time a player has fewer than 25 field goals and more than 30 turnovers in a single postseason since the three-point era (1980).

Luka Doncic has been guarded by Bojan Bogdanovic for 14 minutes in two games.

He has scored 32 points on 65% shooting in those minutes. pic.twitter.com/rSUEIN0mL8

Miami really just ate trae up and spit him out

they fucked him up lol

Mikal Bridges is the 7th player in NBA history to have 30 points, 4 made threes, and 4 blocks in a playoff game.

The others? LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Vince Carter. pic.twitter.com/cOb4zBHNAK

love when a team really needs someone to step up and then someone really steps up

yeah insane game

Why would you need Bridges when you could have 14 games over two years of Zhaire Smith?

Let’s be real, even if the Sixers had held onto him, he would’ve been shipped out in a trade for some disgruntled superstar long ago

Somehow that's not making me feel better.

47 minutes for bridges too lol

that trade in retrospect is clearly one of the worst moves of the entire sordid process era but at the time it felt entirely defensible, they basically traded one first round pick for two. i don’t remember ppl saying at the time that bridges was some huge theft by the suns. and zhaire had that whole thing where he almost died from an allergic reaction or whatever, so i kinda give the sixers a pass on that one

but now that we’re talking about it… the sixers could have jayson tatum, bridges and embiid right now. ahh

1 (inadvertent) nut kick

fixed.

watch it again. he lost his balance and stumbled backward so badly after that (nut) shot for the simple reason that he'd awkwardly thrown his foot so far forward in order to kick alvarado's nuts that it wasn't possible to recover gracefully. alvarado had embarrassed him badly in crunch time in a playoff game. cp3 will always extract payback any way he can.

but now that we’re talking about it… the sixers could have jayson tatum, bridges and embiid right now. ahh

dillon brooks 3/18 fg 1/10 threes.

a loooot of small guards who didn't wanna be watching a poster dunk

looks like this is the year

Here’s what LeBron James will need to average according to games played in order to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s All-Time Scoring Leader this season:

👑17.6 PPG across 76 games played
👑 20.9 PPG across 64 games played
👑 27.1 PPG across 49 games played pic.twitter.com/x8uiW285Fm

he could avg 27-7-7 for eternity if he wants

Among 2021-22 NBA Small Forwards:

⬆️ High Offensive Impact*
⬇️ Low Offensive Impact*
➡️ High On-Ball Gravity
⬅️ Low On-Ball Gravity

Who stands out?

what does on-ball gravity mean

i'm guessing guys who get guarded more closely when they have the ball

yeah its how much a player pulls the other team towards them when they have the ball as measured by that player tracking system the nba uses

Last season, the NBA saw it's smallest increase in 3PT Frequency in 10 years.
It went from 39.4% to 39.9% and perhaps this means the 3pt explosion is nearing its apex

— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) September 22, 2022

idk feel like theres still a some room for players to get better at shooting particularly in the front court but stylistically hoisting might be reaching equilibrium

i mean how much more hoisting can you do past 40% of shots being hoists really

it is for sure a lot

precious 22 boards off the bench

Slowest pace and right now a transition defense nearly twice as bad as the worst transition defense last season (Rockets).
