yeesh

i believe the league needs to tighten up a bit. stop rewarding foul baiting

the two best offensive teams of all time are playing right now

indiana will not continue to be the best offensive team ever if jalen smith takes all their shots

pacers won proving the old adage that the greatest ever offensive team always wins

This is actually crazy. 15+ years

JORDAN CLARKSON HAS DONE IT!!

One of the longest-running NBA droughts is officially over.

lol

yeah you have to keep in mind this year when you're looking at someone's offensive stats and they're having a career year... that's kinda the whole league

insane wtf

cant believe gordon hayward never got one

interesting proposal, have to get rid of offensive 3 seconds to just to be fair, 3 seconds seems pretty contrived anyway just let the game flow man, not sure itd have a huge effect tho

Ye I’m ready to get rid of defensive 3 seconds.

We really don’t need a rule telling the defense they can’t spend more than a few seconds in the most valuable spot on the floor. Just makes scoring that much easier. https://t.co/pi9kQcPknH

worth a shot

im into adjusting officiating too but not just letting them play more physical its prob best to have a less physical game for the regular season from an injury prevention staying fresh stand point, but what i think they should do is stop calling fouls where the offensive player initiates contact, could be no calls mostly and offensive fouls where it causes a huge collision

thats prob the biggest change, would also help speed games up and flow better.

yeah no one wants to see free throws

big man defenders do spend as much time as they want in the paint, they just do the 2.5 second tap out thing

yeah they have to do that they cant just be where they want all the time

dunksandthrees now has a playoff odds tracker:

the refs should get back to their recent "point of emphasis" and start calling players again for carrying when they palm the ball on the dribble

lol love it

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=lowest+turnover+percentage+by+a+player+averaging+10+assists+a+game+in+a+season%2C+minimum+30+games

hali’s turnover percentage this season would be the lowest ever by a player averaging 10+ assists a game

he’s good

thats my opinion as well

The Pacers have 50 assists, just the 2nd 50 assist game in the NBA since 1990.

great time to be a lifelong pacers fan like myself

Don’t look now but Jalen Suggs is shooting 46/39/78 on the season

(was 39/27/75 over his first two years)

And that 39% is on 5.2 3PA/G, btw#MagicTogether pic.twitter.com/7nEmkHfqvc

Cam Thomas is jacking 22.2 shots per 36 minutes; only Luka Doncic and Joel Embiid (about 23 each) average more. Twelve of the 13 players attempting 20-plus shots per 36 minutes dish at least 4.3 assists per game. Thomas averages 2.3. He is on pace to be the first player since Carmelo Anthony in 2012-13 -- and only the second since 1994 -- to attempt at least 21 shots per 36 minutes and record fewer than three dimes, according to Basketball-Reference.

lol

The bubble chip doing a lot of heavy lifting for lebrons laker tenure legacy

yeah that was a nice break for him

i dont blame bron per se, lakers have been dysfunctional since 2013 or so. just year after year of failure followed by a rescue by late stage bron+selling the farm for ad. thats the bed they made together under the assumption that bron + ad is enough enough of a foundation to build a winner, and they were right exactly one time.

if the lakers really want to admit defeat they should just trade bron and ad and commit to a massive rebuild, but theyre too proud to admit that theyre like every other nba team now.

Yah the lakers don’t really have to do it that way cos there’s always some free agent that wants to play there despite the org infrastructure

i think there is something to that, but how many times is a player of lebron's status going to want a place to make movies and send his kids to CA prep schools?

and like, they had to suck ass for 5 years before they got bron, and then trade most of the top prospects they'd picked to make that formula work.

I think if Lebro didn’t go there they woulda got one of ur Durants or whoever by now but maybe the luster has worn off (doubt it)

yeah theres def a ton of prestige associated with the lakers, and their management really caters to stars, and players want to live in LA

jokic joins (checks notes, very carefully) jamal tinsley and jalen rose as the only players to record 15 assists and 5 blocks in a game

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/players-with-15-assists-and-5-blocks-in-a-single-game

tinsley getting five blocks is unfathomable

there has to be a mistake I don’t get it lol, it’s such a random threesome
