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

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

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

only behind khris "mid" middleton

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.

probably fair to wonder whether many of these stats are due to be supplanted soon but then you look at box plus minus for example and it’s all late-80s early-90s jordan and late-00s early 10s lebron, pretty universally agreed upon my rushmore dudes, and then jokic who seems to be breaking the scale and one wonders whether the most elagant explanation is that he’s just the best player ever, will continue to monitor

apparently the biggest run since they started tracking pbp data in the 90s

normally dont care about these cherrypicked thresholds to try to make a player look extra special but lol at this one. "halliburton's line has only been done 7 times before in nba history" *2 of them are jokic last week*

Halburton's
26 / 10 / 13
has been done before by hundreds of players

But the 0 turnovers make it special - it has only occured 7 times before in NBA history pic.twitter.com/FSvZEGjgjj

will analyze the data and get back to you

34/18/67 shooting splits for scoot so far this season, i know rookie PGs take time especially 19 year old ones but damn

just gotta hope he goes on a 2nd half of the season heater to show some promise.

maybe hes already on one last time i checked he was shooting 9% from three

i thought that too but he shot 33% from three in 5 november games and has shot 14% from three in 3 december games

maybe he should just not shoot threes for now, to start.

he's really hard to watch, honestly. it's painful how much he does not know where to be on offense when he doesn't have the ball, trying to do too much when he has it. his turnovers are unbelievable and common. i think the game needs to "slow down for him" but he looks like an absolute bust so far
