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

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— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) January 28, 2023
1. Thread: THE JJJ FILESI just watched all of JJJ’s 66 blocks in Memphis this year.Here are my findings1. JJJ might be the top rim protector on earth.2. Of the 66 blocks, at least 60 are clearly blocked by JJJ3. 3 to 5 are questionable4. 2 are kinda sus (here they are) pic.twitter.com/3n5rYp6Zgz— Kirk Goldsberry (@kirkgoldsberry) January 28, 2023

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.

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

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
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 31 January 2023 15:17 (one year ago) link
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?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 31 January 2023 15:18 (one year ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 31 January 2023 15:34 (one year ago) link
mb ant is just figuring out how to play with gobert and kat being out is a red herring
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 31 January 2023 15:35 (one year ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 31 January 2023 15:42 (one year ago) link
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
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 31 January 2023 15:46 (one year ago) link
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.

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

amazing run and yet its still kinda hard to get that game vs embiid out of my head
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Wednesday, 1 February 2023 18:35 (one year ago) link
windhorst made a good point on his podcast w/ kevin pelton that jokic seemed to be playing as if he was taking the high road in the manufactured "rivalry" with embiid, like he never pointedly took it at him or anything, he just really played his game looking for his teammates and what not. embiid on the other hand seemed to be on a mission to prove a point to the world. jokic didn't play like he had anything to prove, for better or worse. they play again later in the season and i bet jokic will come into that game w/ a different mindset
the more interesting thing from that game is that the sixers had a lot of success using PJ tucker on jokic in the fourth quarter which kinda dovetails w/ draymond's relative success against him. getting shorter thicker intense ass dudes all up in his shit is prob the best way to defend him but there aren't very many guys like that in the league
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 1 February 2023 18:41 (one year ago) link
vid on that topic a good thing about the approach is that embiid got to hang out in the lane which hurt jokic passing when usually he can rely on dragging the opposing center out to the perimeter leaving the lane free of rim protection
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfHP0b-voTA
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 February 2023 18:51 (one year ago) link
occurs to me that one thing jokic could do to punish that approach is to shoot more
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 February 2023 18:53 (one year ago) link
yeah i fully expect jokic to counter next time they play. doesnt usually take him long to figure stuff out.
― four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Wednesday, 1 February 2023 18:56 (one year ago) link
I think it’s probably true that jokic didn’t come into the game with the same mindset as embiid, who obviously was taking the game personally, and good for him! embiid did take over the second half and had a better game for sure overall, but jokic did outplay him in the first half, when he had the offense humming and was just playing his game. embiid had 25 on 17 shots in the first half but lost his minutes pretty handily. sort of a microcosm of the two players and their particular styles in a sense
credit to doc for making the adjustment and taking embiid off jokic in the second half. I don’t know that it’s true at all that jokic struggles vs smaller players, but if you have a roster that can put a plus defender on jokic and allow another plus defender to roam and protect the rim at the same time, that’s prettt much the ideal scenario guarding the nuggets. there are adjustments the nuggets can make and frankly should have made, for one thing jokic just has to attack that matchup, which I’m sure he will be better at next time, but I’d also love to see them size down and put MPJ in for gordon, really force embiid to run around a little more and draw him out of the paint.
also as undeniably great as embiid was, he took 7 of his shots in that game from inside the paint and ran extremely hot on his jumper, and it took a flawless harden performance and some great shooting from tobias harris and georges niang, not to mention some boneheaded play from the nuggets bench to end the third quarter, for the sixers to claw back. it was a depressing loss as a nuggets fan for obvious reasons but it felt like one of those football games where you control possession for like 65% of the game but give it away on special teams. annoying, but not anything insurmountable imo. but they do need to trade bones
