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— Micah Adams (@MicahAdams13) November 15, 2022

love his game hes so creative just doing all crazy angles and spins slithering around
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 15 November 2022 19:49 (one year ago) link
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

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
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 15 November 2022 20:16 (one year ago) link
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
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 November 2022 20:18 (one year ago) link
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

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— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) November 17, 2022

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.
― aphoristical, Thursday, 17 November 2022 23:08 (one year ago) link
poku been looking pretty steady of late for sure
― im a beacon of light (Spottie), Thursday, 17 November 2022 23:26 (one year ago) link
love poku rooting for him, okc is sweet, too bad chet got injured tho
― lag∞n, Thursday, 17 November 2022 23:28 (one year ago) link
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

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.
― alpine static, Friday, 18 November 2022 00:54 (one year ago) link
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:

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

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

how come every site has a different number for offensive defensive and net rating isnt it just a points per possession situation whats going on here
current boston celtics offrtgnba.com: 119.1 https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/advanced?dir=A&sort=OFF_RATINGbasketball ref: 121 https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2023_ratings.htmlstatmuse: 120 https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=offensive+rating+2022-2023+nba+teams
then two that are called offensive efficiencyespn: 117.8 http://www.espn.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats team rankings: 116.4 https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/offensive-efficiency
― lag∞n, Sunday, 20 November 2022 15:48 (one year ago) link
i believe the formula for offensive rating is more complex than just points per 100 possessions, but didn’t know there were that many variants on it
