Luke Doncic: 73 points in Mavericks win in Atlanta – just the fourth player in NBA history to reach that plateau along with Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant and David Thompson.

Tenth player in NBA history to score 70 or more; four have come in the last year.

Women’s college basketball has grown in popularity over the past few decades, and the sport hit another milestone on Thursday night. ESPN broadcasted a College GameDay episode live from Baton Rouge ahead of No. 9 LSU vs. No. 1 South Carolina, and the game won the night among national sports.

South Carolina’s 76–70 win over LSU officially averaged 1.56 million viewers, topping the NBA’s matchup between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat on TNT at the same time, which only averaged 1.38 million viewers, according to Sports Media Watch.

The rivalry between South Carolina and LSU has quickly become a staple in women’s college basketball, as it is a matchup between each of the last two national champions. The Gamecocks are 18–0 to begin this season, while the Tigers are 18–3, cementing both teams in the national championship conversation again.

damn

i’ve watched two lady vols games in person this season and they were both really fun. lotta threes, lotta drives on mismatches, lotta chaos under the basket.

also, it should be said, a lotta tough d. the sec is a very physical conference and one caveat to lsu and s carolina’s records is that i don’t believe they play conference rivals until after christmas - that’s when it starts getting real

Merged EPM data with salaries to see who has outperformed/underperformed their contracts so far.

Players on rookie deals were excluded.

A few people asked, so putting these out for each team

Teams are scoring more this year than they did last year. Why? pic.twitter.com/yuYeWX2tOF

ah interesting would think thatd lead to more points for both teams

If you zoom out and compare offensive indicators from the 2013-14 season to now, you'll see all of the familiar drivers for super-charged offenses: faster pace, smarter shot selection, and more points per shot. But these macro trends have started to level off more recently. pic.twitter.com/e2ysQiZKiF

the larger trends

https://imgur.com/a/Da2m1H7

there’s a pretty clear hierarchy this year that I circled, with a tiny bit of overlap:

group 1: boston
group 2: serious contenders
group 3: up and comers, or teams that thought they were going to be serious contenders who have serious questions
group 4: stuck in the mud
group 5: tanking
group 4: stuck in the middle

ha i was looking at that earlier and noticing that its visually broken up into three groups

get to make a lot more normal shapes if you just leave the bucks out of contenders

that chart of why teams are scoring more is good because it confirms my suspicion that o boards are the next frontier

a lot more loose rebounds floating around now with smaller lineups and more threes being taken

yeah celtics have talked about how theyre crashing more this year and that was their reasoning

of course you need to balance crashing with stopping a potential fast break. fast breaks are still very valuable so i expect this trend will reach equilibrium soon

tho if you are a very switchable team like the celtics it may not matter as much if you are a bit late getting back

Sabonis tonight:

20 PTS
26 REB
5 AST
10-11 FG

1st player to reach those numbers in a game on 90+ FG% since Wilt in 1969. https://t.co/mNmF3q01qe

it occurs to me that with so many threes being taken in modern hoops (and rightly so) there are inevitably fewer made baskets per shot attempt, so that the total number of rebounds per game has probably increased in a statistically noticeable way, making comparisons with pre-three rebounding stats is a bit misleading.

the full house

devin booker this month has had games of 44, 46, 52, and 62 points

listening to the Lowe Post from last Friday, and he said that Embiid is averaging the most points per minute in the history of the NBA, including Wilt

and wilt never even had to play against al horford
