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

or this is pretty classic, stops chasing completely and just goes to the paint to try and nab another reb.

Kinda nuts how we’re almost 400 games into Kawhi’s career, and he still has more total steals than fouls. Think about how easy it is to foul

that Booker game is so weird. its almost like the gameplan was straight up "get Booker 70 points".

yeah that game should come with a huge asterix imo.

westbrook with another crazy line

57/13/11

most points in a trip dub ever

wow

def disagree with booker asterisk talk tho. celtics defended him hard down the stretch

Still need to watch that game. Got it recorded.

the philadephia 76ers defended wilt as hard as they could when he scored 100, too.

celtics had a pretty good cushion that game, they cldve taken the ball out of bookers hands if they wanted to

they didn't double until quite late in the piece iirc

isn't the beef not that the celts weren't guarding him hard but that the suns were purposefully lengthening the game to get him more possessions (i didn't watch)

ya they took some fouls at the very end, it happened in some of the other big scoring games too apparently

draymo first player w 150 steals + 100 blocks in a season since Wade 09

42-5-11-2-2

russ 50-16-10 and the game winning 3. only 2 TOs.

broke Oscars trip dubs in a season record. idk what to think about this Russ year tbf.

its incredibly impressive and he's not the mvp.

that rebounding video from a week or so back left a weird taste in my mouth abt rwb this year tbh

i mean i'm not quite at "this needs an asterisk!" level or anything but the numbers are inflated in a gross way imo
