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

we know what the owners love

Embiid 30/12 in 23 minutes.

sixers 3-0 since his return

seems like a valuable guy. but is he the MOST valuable…

Domantas Sabonis' all-important double-double streak has ended with an 8-point, 13-rebound, 5-assist performance in the loss to OKC.

With that 54th win, Chris Finch has won more games in 1 season than 10 Wolves coaches did in their whole tenure 🐺

celtics first team to not shoot a free throw in a game

bucks shot 2! 2 fts whole game

refs are booking their vacations lol

two records last night:

-celtics 0 FTA for a full game (apparently the bucks only had 2fta as well)

- Warriors highest 3P% for a game with minimum 40 attempts (26/41 for 63.4%)
(dray klay steph all hit at least 5 3s for the first time in like 8 years)

The first player in NBA history to record

10+ rebounds
10+ assists
0 field goal attempts
0 free throw attempts

Coulda like.. used some points tho bro

lol what the heck

There was one point late in the game where the Pels were in rotation and Dray was wide open at the top of the key for a three. Dyson Daniels was supposed to rotate to Dray, but he didn’t even bother, just went to cover the next pass.

the pacers are the first team to have 10,000 points and 2,500 assists in a season

this is a cool way of looking at it

In best-of-seven series since the playoffs expanded to 16 teams in 1984, teams that lose the first two games of the series at home are 4-20 (.167) -- with the exception of the 2020 bubble. That's more than twice the winning percentage of teams that lose the first two games on the road (19-218, .080), arguing against the conventional wisdom that a series doesn't begin until a home team loss.

thats interesting makes sense that being the better regular season team holds more weight than home court especially considering a good chunk of those teams thatre down on the road had no hope to begin with

ya and you do get game 7 at home too

Since 1984 NBA teams in best-of-seven series—

Falling behind 2-0 at home: 4-22

Falling behind 2-0 at home then winning Game 3: 4-8

Falling behind 2-0 at home then winning Games 3 and 4: 4-2 https://t.co/avtjo5owM3

up to 33%

gotta get the next one

anyone following this jordan stocks story?

It's not that Michael Jordan had more steals at home. That's common.

It's the sheer magnitude of the home/road gap that caught my eye and launched my deep dive. The full report: https://t.co/Hj3TeIsRk6 pic.twitter.com/UPShOi2JV2

bulls cooked the books

heh

It’s important to note that after winning the Defensive Player of the Year award, Jordan’s home rates returned to normal and within the same range of his peers. Jordan would never even approach the 1987-88 home stats for the rest of his career, an outlier of outliers.

didnt eve get a trophy out of it, sad

have that story in my bookmarks but seems juicy, the kind of content we need in the offs (eason)

crazy it took 30 years to expose mj as a false god

have not read the piece in question but this is an amazing stat

Next time you hear that Zach LaVine is a losing player, consider this: 72 of his 101 teammates are completely out of the league.

Why the narratives about LaVine have grown totally out of control, and what I'd do if I were the Bulls: https://t.co/C41815NXNo

legit question - how does that compare to other guys with his tenure?

list of teammates hes played most with here, not like its full of awful players but def noticeably lacking in top tier guys https://basketball.realgm.com/player/Zach-LaVine/Teammates/41396

43 games with kg

maybe he's the reason his teammates no longer loved the game

drive and kick offense is goated

lotta spurs out there in red smh

whats up with tatums 3s. big drop off. are they all step backs on the right?

yeah kinda funny to have him one of the best from the top and the worst from the side. a lot of jacked step backs, also makes it seem like these zone divisions probably aren't great for assessing him

this graphic hurts my eyes

but when i take time to digest it what jumps out is that pj washington as worst corner 3 shooter in the league makes the mavs run look mighty fluky

was thinking the same

tatums shot chart, worse on the left side altogether

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=jayson+tatum+shot+chart+2023-24

wow thats quite a sudden shift

they should just not let him go there

hes taking the most threes from that cold spot on the wing wonder if thats where he tends to force it from do the fancy stepbacks and whatnot, tho that wouldnt explain the general coldness from the whole side

although the volume is generally higher on that side might just be where hes going iso more which i think if i picture him isoing it is on that side
