STATS 16-17

feels like draymond is the frontrunner for DPOY w Gobert in 2nd Kawhi in 3rd. id be down with any of those three winning it but draymond has a few 'game saving' plays to his credit this year.

I haven't really picked up on what people are saying about dpoy but it should be Rudy

They're both elite in drtg but Gobert is much more of the anchor/more indispensable to what they do

anchor vs versatility. both essential to their teams success

I just feel like when draymond sits things are still ok, at least when they had Durant.

gobert a hair ahead in DRPM (they're 1 and 2), but that can probably be attributed to the height prior

feel like there hasnt been any —buzz— around dpoy in years

I mean in comparison to mvp or roy or whatever yeah not much but last year there was some discussion about kawhi and draymon

yah last year was super suspenseful!

nurkic 28-20-8-6. career highs in points, boards, blocks.

crazy

only one that really stands out is the gary harris inclusion.

wld like to see that redone with only guys between the ages of 23-29 to isolate the true bad defense talent

Vince Carter in 30 minutes last night v Bux:

24-5-2-3

on 8/8 shooting (6/6 from 3)

Vince Carter is 40 years old

Lowe and arnovitz were talking briefly about him and how he's a free agent next season without really touching on the fact that he'd be 41 at some pt then. also playing 23 minutes a night!

and he still dunks so basically vince has a painting in his attic that ages for him

dray 20-8-8-6-4

Kirelenko was so rad for a minute

D'Angelo Russell is the first player to foul out, have more turnovers than fouls, and fewer points than fouls since Josh Smith in 2007.

nice

wow

that is...beautiful

trill almost a 5x5

14-11-5-4-4

uhh wow

Skal Labissiere 32-11

Hit it with the left, hit it with the right

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at2G3D2-rgE

he and trill are gonna be a formidable frontline

lol every one one of those shots looks terrible

haha nah

i might be a believer in skal

the defense williams and dudley were playing in those highlights is appalling

Those pivot moves were nice

skal def threw random shit up and it went in but he looks like an NBA player for sure

I don't know how to feel about the 3 point variance thing but

another 40pt trip dub for JH

41-14-11-2

John Wall on a hurt foot dropped a career high 20 assists. Weird cos 0 rebounds

14-0-20

towns having an alltime season for someone his age btw

Chriss has looked really good lately. TJ too but he was overcoming injuries earlier in the year.

The kawhi thing is still weird

I think Robert Covington is becoming one of my favorite players

Regardless, Leonard's exclusion is emblematic of the need to apply context to defensive numbers. So don't view his omission as anything more than what it is: a fluke that's in no way meant to be interpreted as an insult to one of the game's great wing stoppers.

now let us proceed to the context free list lol

haa

gobert 35/13, including 11 ORB

westbrook 18/11/14 on 6/6 FG and 6/6 FT (first known trip dub on 100% shooting)

pg13 scored 37 points off 13 2PA, 13 3PA, and 13 FTA

pacers have now alternated win/loss for 15 straight games eg LWLWLWLWLWLWLWL

pacers also have 13 back court violations this season, an NBA record

good stuff

okc 6-1 with wins over the spurs jazz and raps since replacing sabonis with gibson in their starting 5

Zach Lowe‏Verified account @ZachLowe_NBA 9m9 minutes ago
New OKC starting lineup has offensive rebounding rate of 36% -- blows away any team figure. They are bullies.

that trade was completely insane

yuup

especially weird trading a good player in his prime for a prospect who prob wont pan out when you refuse to trade yr unhappy star player cause youre not rebuilding

hassan whiteside's season

if u lower the scoring threshold to 10pts a game it only adds one more season which is deandre from a couple of years ago where he shot 70%

how bout this list
