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

basketball refs says its just points per, wikipedia says otherwise but links to the basketball ref page lol, player rating is def a whole algo tho

then there is adjusted rating, idk why the plain one wld be any more than points per its what the people want

ohhh maybe i was looking at player rating.

but yeah let’s all get on the same page and use one rating here.

it wasnt even like i looked for five that didnt match those were the first five i found lol

Pacers' record after trailing by double-digits...

PJ Tucker is on pace to average the fewest FGA per game (3.1) by any player with 28+ MPG in a season.

He has 0 points in 3 straight games. 17 total points in November. pic.twitter.com/VyBFKwLptD

thats not a lot

Mr Intangibles

the most overrated signing of the offseason

one of those role players the media gets inexplicably fascinated by

And Daniel House has been a non-entity as well.

I watched last night and Melton/Milton were fun

Shooting is the separator…

Up=Elite 3P shotmaking
Down=Perimeter brick factory
Left=Takes ridiculously difficult shots
Right=Takes easy/open shots

klay buried

two mavs crushing it in the “high frequency of easy shots, low frequency of made shots” quadrant

luka creates easy shots for others and terrible ones for himself

steph as usual is an alien

yeah that’s a cool chart

youd think bullock and finney smith will regress to their means

23 3-pointers from 3 men is virtually unbeatable 🎯

Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Andrew Wiggins just showed us why 🙌 pic.twitter.com/uNmJYE55qY

It's an NBA Record, first player ever to play 30 min 4 straight games and get 0pts every game. Broke a tie with Rodman and Charles Jones who did 3 games in a row.

he just kept getting in the paint it was weird like they just let him in there

Lebron 39 and 11 today, gotta be the oldest dude to do that

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/oldest-player-to-score-39-points-and-11-rebounds-in-a-game

lol why is it all lakers

dumb question, when they say somebody was “minus 12 for the 10 minutes he was in” or “plus 5 for the game” is it as simple as “his team had that point differential for the minutes he was in”?

yes

Lol what a dumb stat

i disagree, i think we need to reintroduce superstition and vibes based stats, rationalism is dead

in some ways it’s the only stat that truly matters the problem is it’s too hard to separate out one players impact esp in small samples

i mean otherwise known as…. the score

I mean it’s the score that happens when you’re in the game, in theory it should be very useful, in practice it depends a lot on coaching decisions and the quality of your teammates and opponents

for example the nuggets are +0.7 pts/100 possessions this season as a team, which is obviously thoroughly mediocre, but it’s probably worth noting that they’re +15.7 with nikola jokic on the floor and -11.9 with him on the bench

tho obviously part of that is the nuggets bench being somewhat trash, the lineups jokic plays etc. these are the sorts of things they try to account for in the advanced +/- stats like RPM and RAPTOR with varying degrees of success

like if you think about it it’s the ideal stat, the whole point of playing basketball is to score more points than the other team, things like points per game percentages etc are just surrogates. but in reality it’s hard to isolate the true impact on scoring differential

Plus minus over a small sample doesn’t tell much but over a big stretch can tell you a lot about a player

idk its pretty noisy even over a whole season, including the adjusted versions

Zubac tonight:

31 PTS
29 RBS
3 BLK
14/17 FG

He and Kareem alone as the only two in history to put up that line. Zu has been an absolute monster on both ends this season pic.twitter.com/fWy8Y6KcC9

croatians winning everywhere

quarter through the season and there are six guys averaging 30+, seems like a lot

i’m still stuck on zubac putting up 31-29

He’s doing some cp type stuff

Tyrese Haliburton’s last 3 games: 60 points, 40 assists, NO turnovers

— Charlie Cummings (@klaytheist11) November 29, 2022

Damn

yep except cp3 (or anyone else) has never done that

zu my guy

jokic’s shooting stats this season are just absurd. up to .685 on twos
