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

after giannis he's the no 1 player i'd want in the east and i don't think it's particularly close

yeah seems right

omg killian hayes, yikes

hes very bad

KOC's #1 pick

lol thats our guy

loon and horf need more touches, is my takeaway

horf shooting 45% from 3 so far, very large steph

shai is having a ridiculous season

SGA is scoring 17.1 points in the paint per game.

Over the last 25 years, the only players to average more are Shaq, Giannis and Zion. pic.twitter.com/wUm4qq11TE

love his game hes so creative just doing all crazy angles and spins slithering around

prob relying a lil too much on tough floater range shots but if he can continue to hit them more power to him thats luka stuff

he seems very under the radar. thunder have some fun players

there was a stretch last year after he came back from his sprained ankle where he was putting in 30+ per night. he’s huge for a PG too

okc points scored last four games 132, 132, 145, 122

yes

hes playing like an mvp it might be smart to just focus on that from here on out. giddey seems like the perfect 2nd/3rd banana depending on how chet works into it all.

giddy is super talented but has a long way to go, got stripped by the celtics like five times in 10mins last night, he cant defend or shoot which is an untenable combo

yeah i think simmons had him in the top 40 of his trade value list which i thought was completely crazy. he’s a fun player to watch but if you can’t shoot and can’t defend there’s not really a role for you on a real NBA team nowadays

if i were him i would learn to shoot

oh wow didnt realize it was that bad... seems like hes made a jump in shooting numbers so far this season tho

Most Attempts “Very Early” in the Shotclock:

1. Trae young: 66—43.9 EFG%
2. SGA: 62—60.5%
3. Bane: 55—60.0%
4. Barrett: 54—41.7%
5. Booker: 53—57.5%
6. Fox: 52—64.4%
7. McCollum: 52—40.4%
8. LeBron: 51—55.9%
9. Hield: 48—66.7%
10. Steph: 48—58.3%

What stands out?

oof

trae rj and cj need to chill

For all the talk about Donovan Mitchell never passing Rudy Gobert the ball:

Mitchell passed to Gobert 4.4 times per game in Utah.

Anthony Edwards has passed to Gobert only 1.7 times per game in Minnesota. They've run 125 pick-and-rolls, Gobert received the ball only four times. pic.twitter.com/OsskLl7TSe

ant hates him lol

so much

and theyre locked in for like 4 more years

its bad

Giddey's shooting has been getting better this season.

Poku has been the biggest surprise as an OKC fan this year. He's suddenly looking like a pretty solid NBA player after a couple of years of adjusting. He's starting to shoot 3s decently and has 1.8 blocks per game.

Ousmane Dieng is down in G-League at the moment, but I reckon he has star potential.

poku been looking pretty steady of late for sure

love poku rooting for him, okc is sweet, too bad chet got injured tho

okc's plan of "what if the whole team was stretched out guys" is kind of brilliant, chet + wemby + poku + dieng would be an absolute fever dream of arm length

shai has a near 7" wingspan as well

7'

presti on 2k just sorting every table by wingspan and saying "yeah there we go"

I would love to read a really detailed article by, like, a kinesiologist about how SGA does what he does. Or watch an ESPN Sport Science or whatever.

He was the same way at Kentucky. Looks (relatively) slow and like he's not working hard, but usually gets to his spots with enough space to make shots.

It's pretty amazing if you watch it for very long.

I reckon OKC has a chance of being around the play-in game this year if SGA stays healthy and they don't shamelessly tank.

They're 7-8 - half of their losses have been against the Nuggets, Timberwolves, and Bucks. teams with dominant bigs that they need Chet to help with.

was just looking at some of jokic’s basic shooting splits to start the season, silly stuff:

0-3 ft: .771
3-10 ft: .625
10-16 ft: .467
16-23 ft: .857

wait hes shooting 86% from 16-23 feet???

thats crazy whats he shooting from 3 btw

two good games in a row now what haters

Ben Simmons in his last 8 games:

Previous 6 games: Last 2 games:
5.0 PPG 13.0 PPG
6.3 RPG 8.5 RPG
5.3 APG 5.0 APG
40.6% FG 11-of-13 FG pic.twitter.com/OAX4pXjfsx

yeah but looking at his frequencies, he hardly ever shoots from that distance, I think it’s like 6/7 or something lol

the part of that that means something is his deadliness from within 10 feet. 77% at the rim (coupled with career high free throw rate AND career high free throw percentage) plus 62.5% from floater range…simply unstoppable. now if he would only take some more shots…

and yeah joe he’s been awful from 3 lol

da boston celtics baby
