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

Only 8 teams have drawn more charges than Brandin Podziemski (31)

Feel like he’s gonna do this a few times per season

Victor Wembanyama got his first 5x5 and the 15th in NBA history:

27 points
10 rebounds
8 assists
5 steals
5 blocks

At age 20 he’s the youngest ever to do it (Andrei Kirilenko was 22). He also did it in 31 minutes, the fewest minutes ever (34 by Marcus Camby). pic.twitter.com/UiP3lqBliw

wemby average a 5x5 or you are a coward

i welcome our new alien overlord

its been drawn to my attention that in the game before his historic 5x5 wemby was one assist short of getting another one, he played 31 minutes in both games

big honey 32-16-16-4-1

first player ever with three games in a row of at least 14 assists and 14 boards

worth just looking at it this way

Nikola Jokic’s last three game:

- 32 points, 16 rebounds, 16 assists
- 21 points, 19 rebounds, 15 assists
- 29 points, 15 rebounds, 14 assists

dece

Last four players to average 5+ RPG, 5+ APG on 50/40/75% shooting in a season:

Kevin Durant
Steph Curry
LeBron James

And now, Draymond Green. pic.twitter.com/ZVOI2FEmMV

cmon be serious

Can’t argue w the facts. Elite shooters only territory.

My fav thing is draymond hadn’t made a three in a second half for the entire season until he hit one the other night. Is shooting like 50%+ on 1st half threes lol

Thibs is just sadistic

Josh Hart just played 47 minutes and 10 seconds of a 48-minute game.

he hurts the ones he loves the most

Tyrese Haliburton is the 5th player in our database—and the first since Spencer Hawes in 2014—to have a game with 0 points and a plus-minus of -40 or worse.#NBA | #BoomBaby pic.twitter.com/7nQDP29DjF

Is he hurt??? That’s insane

Not on Herb.

totals have a lot to do with his minutes being restricted but those percentages arent great

Tyrese Haliburton Stats This Season:

Pre Injury:
32 Games
24.2 PPG
12.7 APG
4.3 RPG
50/40/87 Splits

Post Injury:
15 Games
15.1 PPG
9.1 APG
2.7 RPG
45/34/77 Splits pic.twitter.com/LK9x4nnbvq

it was his birthday the day before too

Maybe take a couple weeks off

those are pretty stark splits. i’d be curious if any of the film watcher types have seen defenses throw new things at the them that have flummoxed them. like i’d be curious the splits on him pre and post IST final

Falling from 87% to 77% on FTs shouldn't be related to opponents using different defensive schemes, but it could be related to minutes restrictions. Anyway, get well soon, hali.

crazy stat

Lakers' LeBron James is the first NBA player to score 40,000 points.
James scored his first 10,000 points in the exact same number of games as it took him to go from 30,000 to 40,000
- 10K in 368 games
- 10K to 20K in 358 games
- 20K to 30K in 381 games
- 30K to 40K in 368 games pic.twitter.com/mw5nkSizyy

lol that graph

lol that is a cyborg graph - pretty much same pts/gm over his entire career

whoa I just posted about this in the other thread, yeah it seems unbelievable

[little kid saying lebron james voice]: congratulations to lebron james of the Los Angeles lakers on his monumental achievement

I saw a thing on twitter the other day that was like lebron’s points per game for his career, for the cavs, for the heat, for the lakers, and on each day of the week…they were all 27

if he was a cyborg that would explain some of his personality

He’s the consistent 27/7/7 every season haha

Jusuf Nurkic's 31 rebounds are the most in the NBA since Kevin Love also grabbed 31 in 2010.

josh harts numbers are fascinating

The @Timberwolves are on track for their first 50-win season since 2004

The @WashWizards have not had one since 1979 (!!!) pic.twitter.com/QQuAVGGuS3

79 holy shit

josh hart is a really good rebounder, he would be a perfect guy every team would love to have if he could shoot a lil better, im sure every team would take him anyway

so the other day i ran a search on statmuse just out of curiosity — most playoff wins among eastern conference teams since 1988, which was the inaugural heat season. look at these rankings

bulls - 164
heat - 162
celtics - 159
pistons - 130
cavs - 118
pacers - 114
knicks - 96
sixers - 81
hawks - 78
bucks - 71
nets - 65
magic (founded in 1989) - 59
raptors (founded in 1995) - 57
*wizards - 32*
hornets (did not exist for 2 seasons during this stretch before then coming back as an expansion team) - 28

which is to say that if you narrowed this list down to just teams that a. existed at the start of the 1988 season and b. weren’t removed from the league for two years the bottom of the leaderboard in total playoff wins would look like

nets - 65
wizards - 32

their fans should honestly class action sue ted leonsis. less than one single playoff win per year in the last 35 years. not playoff series. just actually winning *a* playoff game. like…

we shouldve done more research for the worst run franchises thread, wiz were robbed

In his last nine games De'Aaron Fox is shooting 62.5% and his last nine Domas is shooting 70% from the free throw line. Hard to close out wins when your two best players aren't good from the charity stripe.

And the Kings as a team are DEAD LAST in FT% this year

— Trysta Krick🐺 (@Trysta_Krick) March 5, 2024

Hadn't really internalized how much Kings suck from the line this year. Nearly 20 percentage points worse than #29 Toronto; costs them about 1.1 points per game relative to league average. And there's no Shaq here; it's just Fox and Sabonis are 70% and nobody else draws fouls. https://t.co/u9EojHJASO

— John Hollinger (@johnhollinger) March 5, 2024

that's really weird

hes been better the last couple seasons (75 & 78) but lived in the low 70s before that, hes not a good shooter it looked like his 3 had improved to start the year but hes since back to normal low 30s

Free throws are weird/fascinating to me. Like I’ve never made one, so what do I know. But my goal as a professional would be to make nearly all of them.

its interesting no one can make more than like 93% of them

Tonight’s 79-73 win by Philadelphia is the first time since January 2016 where neither team in a game scored 80 points: https://t.co/sM3N2RvWM2 https://t.co/Msd3ziavtf

classic eastern conf basketball baby

Anthony Davis is now the only player in NBA history with a 25-25-5-5 stat line.

— Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) March 11, 2024

Nikola Jokić leads the league in shots made in the range of 5-10 feet from the rim. That leaderboard is in the picture.

He also leads the league in points added from that range. That (hilarious) leaderboard goes:

Nikola Jokić (+103.1)
Luka Dončić (+53.9)
Ivica Zubac (+50.8) pic.twitter.com/bRYmCgY3Z4

the balkan zone

it would be unfortunate if someone were to... balkanize it

gafford 28/28 fg over his last 4 gmaes

Daniel Gafford has made 28 consecutive field goals.

Gafford is 8 field goals away from passing Wilt Chamberlain’s record for 35 consecutive field goals in NBA history.

Welcome to Dallas.
