he likes having the ball the ball is nice for him

he likes dribbling the ball he likes shooting the ball

he even likes passing the ball if its for an assist

Oh doesn’t like playing pg but also doesn’t move if he doesn’t have the ball then what is he

i think the clippers thought through the fit on paper — he can give us some ball handling, he can space the floor and shoot open 3s — without considering the person involved. which almost seems impossible but they’re desperate

Most assists in a two-game span with no turnovers:

32 – Tyrese Haliburton (2023)

TIL that kevin porter (not jr.) was a 4-time assists champ??????

gotta get him on the role player hollafame ballot

Remove the scoring possessions of each top 10 scorer... what does the rest of their team's scoring efficiency look like?

Golden State's 52.4 TS% outside of Curry would rank last among teams. They've also shot what would be a by far league worst 46.4 eFG% on open/wide open shots. pic.twitter.com/4E2lyxSyTG

Suns announcing that Bradley Beal is out at least three weeks with a back injury.

That means we won't see the Suns' star trio debut until December -- at the earliest.

KD has played every game, but Booker and Beal have each only played three games, never together. pic.twitter.com/pZSgGqxjxz

<~ to Portland worst offense ouch

lol rough

tbf the starting backcourt has been out for weeks along with the backup pg and only guy on the team north of 29, and the dude starting at pg is someone named skylar mays but it really is impossible to watch this shit

Skylar Mayes was with the hawks for a bit but had a little more depth in front of him to get minutes

chet 36-10-5-2-2

may i just say i hate this graphic from dunks and three dot com why tf is the x axis offense defense differential how is that useful information why not just do it in a normal way where you can see who is best at offense or defense maybe they did it cause they wanted the best team to be clearly on top instead of somewhere in the top right but thats a dumb reason

https://i.imgur.com/gLiL3P8.png

I actually think it’s really clever! best bet ratings are top to bottom, better offense compared to defense is on the right and vice versa

btw was just coming to post these dunksandthrees screenshots, they just posted the 2024 EPM ratings for the first time

this is prob what the guy who made it thought, look im clever, the most useless thought in the world!

tell me who has the best offense by looking at that graph oh you can only tell me who is most better at offense than defense oh great thats something i always think about and what to know

via cleverness i have made something worse than the obvious not clever thing

the better offense and better defense labels are wrong they should read betterer defense and betterer offense

lol

Embiid is averaging 6 apg so far this year. He averaged 4.2 the last two years.

He had 8 the other game and has 5 at the half today, including a sweet bounce pass on the move.

I respect that the big fella continues to work on his game.

its also the offense theyre running getting him more involved as a facilitator

What Jumps Out? The Rockets overachieving.

lag∞n, thanks for that video. It says the Sixers have half the percentage of iso plays they had last year, which comports with what I've seen. They are way less predictable and seem to be getting to the rim way more than last year.

yeah getting rid of harden and doc has them playing such obviously better ball

maxeys speed is so good for them considering embiid plays pretty slow, you need a fast guy in the mix, where harden was even slower than embiid

The Thunder tonight against the Trail Blazers:

60.5% FG
61.1% 3-pt FG
100% FT

They are the 1st team in at least the last 25 years to shoot 60% from the field, 60% on 3-pointers and 100% on free throws in a single game.

Not missing seems like a strategy more teams should pursue.

thats what i call innovation

dallas joining indy in the top five offense bottom five defense aka an entertaining team watch

when luka does it 😡
when hali does it ☺️

lol dont forget about kyrie

Wiz lose 142 - 129. J Poole with the 30 pt / -26 game. He’s a perpetual motion machine.

Giannis with 42/13/8 on 87% shooting that game

Maybe he's reading this thread and taking the "don't miss shots" tactic to heart.
