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

Too busy scoring in the clubs.

is harden even capable any more? hasnt scored more than 35 this season and has only scored over 30 three times total

honestly would be surprised if he’s even been on the floor for more than 1 game vs houston since leaving

that may be true yeah

dame 60-7-8-3, 21/29 fg, 9/15 3pt, 9/10 ft

thats his fourth 60pt game, crazy

fourth 40+ game in the last 8, don't know who the last person to do that was

prob like luka a couple weeks ago or something

yeah haha

harden had five 40 point games in a row in 2019

luka had 3 50 point games in 5 games recently lol

#thatwasthejoke

his stats are truly comical

they say he was tall

not to mention his stats off the court (sex)

dang, didn't watch the plays in question but that reads like a legit scandal if this gets picked up by the athletic. I've been expecting a fair amount of this sort of thing with sports betting legalized.

a bunch of knowledgeable NBA heads have more or less said that the vast majority of that was overblown

Giannis with 50 points in 30 minutes

said that the vast majority of that was overblown

that dismissal would be more convincing if those "knowledgeable NBA heads" effectively addressed the huge discrepancy between his home and away block/steal stats. did they?

let me help you:

I watched every block by Jaren Jackson Jr. in slow motion from alternate angles to investigate the NBA Reddit thread claiming the Grizzlies scorekeeper is "posting fraudulent numbers."

But only 3 of his 66 home blocks are incorrectly labeled, a completely insignificant amount. pic.twitter.com/84ZiE1rPVD

1. Thread: THE JJJ FILES

I just watched all of JJJ’s 66 blocks in Memphis this year.

Here are my findings
1. JJJ might be the top rim protector on earth.
2. Of the 66 blocks, at least 60 are clearly blocked by JJJ
3. 3 to 5 are questionable
4. 2 are kinda sus (here they are) pic.twitter.com/3n5rYp6Zgz

lol

yes kirk knows what he is talking about

my sense is that NBA scorekeeping is much better regulated now than back in these days:

In 2015-16, Stephen Curry shot 43.8% on pull up 3-pointers, a percentage that has never been reached by any other NBA player since tracking shots started. This season, Steph is shooting 47.1% on pull up 3s. #rstats: https://t.co/qtx1v5AasF pic.twitter.com/whr4NNMoQD

for anyone interested there’s an explanation towards the beginning of the new windhorst podcast with kevin pelton about how stats are recorded in the NBA. that reddit post about JJJ was implicitly based on the premise that one guy in the arena decides all the stats (as is the case in baseball) but it turns out that’s a faulty assumption

Anthony Edwards over the last 6 Games:

44 PTS - 6 REB - 4 AST - 50% 3P
31 PTS - 3 REB - 5 AST - 60% 3P
37 PTS - 6 REB - 5 AST - 40% 3P
25 PTS - 7 REB - 7 AST - 60% 3P
34 PTS - 10 REB - 6 AST - 71% 3P
33 PTS - 8 REB - 5 AST - 4 3PM

Give me your TS% Ant.

trade kat

tho i dont really understand why kat wld be fucking up ants offense, he is a bad fit with gobert on d

The KAT injury sitch is becoming kind of weird, lots of mixed messages then KAT said something contradicting the team doctors on Twitch or something, par for the course

I think the problem is there's ways that Ant and Gobert work, and ways KAT and Ant work, but maybe not all three together?

ant gobert pick n roll with kat spaced out seems like it should make sense but i guess you cant just run that all the time and also kat prob wants plays called for him too which cld maybe be a lil more complicated but idk it should work kats such a good shooter theyre playing four out i dont see what the issue is

mb ant is just figuring out how to play with gobert and kat being out is a red herring

part of it is prob that ants playmaking court vision etc isnt the strongest part of his game its a good opportunity to develop it tho which he needs to do if he wants to maxx out his potential

he's gotten much better at that stuff this year

a big thing is kat missed training camp, I think rudy was pretty gassed from euro ball at the beginning of the season, then kat hasn't played since november it's just been disjointed

i have a suspicion that while kat has the skillset of an effective off-ball/spacing guy, he might not be all that effective doing it irl.

yeah cld see it

with his talents it shouldnt be too hard for him to figure out tho, but it might be

their coach is bad and their point guard is bad at doing point guard things. which makes it hard to see what the real issue is

26-18-15 for jokic

also officially averaging a triple double now: 25.1-11.1-10.0

jesus christ

on 70% true shooting

nikola jokic in january: 24.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 11.3 assists on .677/.538/.897 shooting, 76% true shooting, 143 offensive rating 110 defensive rating. video game numbers

kevin durant on a heater ass shooting numbers

he should shoot more

I used to think so but I basically just trust him to do what’s best now. hard to argue with +33 net rating in a month. he can turn it up in the offs when he needs to
