good stats post them here

russell westbrook in his lakers debut!
8-5-4-0-0, 4/13, -23
including an uncontested layup and an “assist” in garbage time

hear me out what if brodie washed

Thing is… he can’t really stat pad on this team. Feel like his numbers are gonna take a pretty big hit on this team

we have two years of history now where westbrook changed teams and was basically god awful for like 3 months before figuring it out and being pretty good for the rest of the season, so we’ll see. the lakers for real have no shooting tho

lamelo 7/9 from 3

i think maybe in like 4 years i’ll come to accept that he’s a good 3 point shooter

jokic 32-16-7-3-1 with 6 turnovers, leading the nuggets in every category

lebron 9 threes to 4 free throws and 2 rebounds tonight. he’s just saving his body right…

I would say that even I could pull off that stat line in the NBA but there's no way I'd last 21 minutes out there

lol yes, a civilian would get posted up and bodied and carried out in less than five

30-7 and 32-9 in back to back games for miles bridges. did not think he'd reach this level as a scorer. he's a really good small ball player

yeah his development has been very good

cole anthony 29-16-8

i checked that rebound number on two two sites btw

jalen green scored 30 points in his 3rd nba game hes 19 years old

seems p good

steven adams first three games as a grizzly

8-14-3
17-9-5
14-16-6

maybe there’s something wrong in new orleans, hard to tell

wow big nums m8

It's not exactly a stat, but I don't know what other thread it fits in. On the 75th anniversary list of the "75 best players of all time" the NBA announced, Dame Lillard was the youngest player to make the list. Hey-oo!

*anthony davis is 3 years younger than damian and made the list

I was misinformed -- by a local sports writer.

dwight has a better resume than them both but everyones kind of forgotten about that due to reasons

it boils down to all the voters didn't want to vote for dwight bc everyone hates dwight

how i break it down to an extent

yah dwight is prob a top 50 player honestly. but lol at his exclusion

dwight has a better resume than them both but everyones kind of forgotten about that due to reasons

dwight is easily the most egregious snub, don’t really have an opinion about the 50s wites but the first guy I’d probably leave off is reggie miller

they just kept the top 50 from last time so it was really a 25 (26) list of new guys

reggie is v impt for 90s hoop history imo

sure I mean lots of guys are important

reggie belongs on the list imo if he played in the current era his stats would be crazy. you could make not just the historical figure argument (which i think is important — you can’t tell a history of 90s nba without him, which is true of john starks too but reggie’s skill level rises to a certain level) but also that he was a player ahead of his time who predicted where the game would go

he was such an amazing heal too, another guy whos ruined his legacy

Reggie hit an absolutely *insane* amount of threes for his era, it’s really hard to believe in retrospect

the og hoister. i really would think much more highly of him had he never broadcasted

prob woulda had a chip or two had the malice @ the palace not happened

isn’t the problem with dwight not just that ppl don’t like him but that his peak was actually pretty short? he was done as an elite player at age 29, for an all time great player to not have any impact into their 30s is pretty rare. does anyone remember what team dwight was on when he was 31 years old? (the hawks). if you go by all star game selections his 8 put him in the 50s on that list — same as dikembe
mutumbo & vince carter but also steve nash & dave cowens. he prob should’ve been on the 75 list but him falling off a cliff as a player at a time when most elite guys still have 5 years of great basketball left isn’t really anyone else’s fault

isn’t that mostly due to injuries though? his back just stopped cooperating iirc

mcgradys another guy like that

well dwight never really developed any actual skills and once him posting up stopped becoming even halfway useful he kinda became a zero on offense. he’s definitely one of the 75 best athletes in NBA history. probably one of the 75 best players too. but he was a beast for only like 5-6 years when he was at his athletic peak. once he left orlando he wasn’t the same, could still get lots of rebounds i guess

he's sustained a nice role player role and got a chip.

came outta high school and was pretty quickly impactful, not the shortest of peaks but for sure robbed of prime years with the back injury

this is a really strong resume
https://i.imgur.com/E2OAtyF.png

he's sustained a nice role player role and got a chip.

he was the 2nd best player in the league for a while

dragged an orlando team that had absolutely no business to the finals

all while subsisting entirely on skittles

objection your honor

i think i just expected him to be out of the league soon after his hawks stint?

hoping he will tear apart the lakers from the inside this time tho.

if you go by all star game selections his 8 put him in the 50s on that list

5 of which are first team, which puts him in the 20s, even more impressive considering there’s only 1 center spot. an open and shut case if you ask me

I see the argument for reggie for sure but the nature of a list like this is lots of good and important players are going to be left off. as I alluded to the real answer for who to leave off would be some guy from the 50s or whatever but it’s so hard to compare those early guys to guys from today. apparently the voters felt the same way because everyone seemed to just grandfather the old list in

other than dwight tho there probably isn’t an obvious snub out of current players. simmons voted for luka and jokic, which you can definitely make the case for either way. lowe apparently voted for iguodala, which…

they literally grandfathered the old list in, only voted on the new guys

dubs heat would be a cool finals

draymond should be top 3 in dpoy voting every year

Sixers having the #1 offense is so weird.

def doesn't raise the ben simmons trade value!

So far this season, 46 players have attempted at least 20 off-the-dribble threes.

Jokic leads the Nuggets in ppg, apg, rpg, spg, bpg, 3PM, 3P%, FGM, FG%, FTM, FT%

he’s so good

Insane

these aren’t real stats but still cool

offensive box plus minus

In 29.5 minutes, Russell Westbrook had 8 points on 17 true shot attempts and 31% usage. He made just 1 of 13 field goal attempts and converted 5/8 at the line. He had turnovers on a quarter of his possessions.

For the season, he's now at 47% true shooting (NBA average is 55%). pic.twitter.com/6Fm2nv1jmB

russ 0/6 at the rim tonight yikes

lakers 5 starters scored 24 points tonight

everyone calm down!!

def my favorite lakers team in some years

The whole point of getting Russ is so lebron and ad could take reg season games off…

duncan robinson is currently second in the in NBA in terms of active streaks of consecutive games played with a made three pointer, with 57 games

number 1 is steph curry with 133. lol

jokic 25-15-10-2-2, 1 morris twin KO

Curry 50-7-10-3-1

Stephen Curry of the @warriors is the only NBA player in the last 25 years to have 50+ points, 10+ assists and a plus-minus of +30 or better in a single game.

harden was shooting 10-11 per game before last season

if players feel like they can crowd dame knowing they can be physical w/ him going to the rim it prob changes a lot of how he has to play offense

i dont see it on the drives its the pull up jumpers that arent getting the calls form what ive seen

It seems like it's affecting Steph's game, too. Outside of the two games he's gone nuclear his shooting's been off. His FTs aren't taking a huge dip because that was never an integral part of his game. He definitely makes his share of non-basketball moves but this year those just either end up looking like standard risky Steph turnovers or wild shots, like that insane three he made a couple games ago. Glad he's not complaining about and just figuring out how to work with it.
I do wonder what the playoffs will look like if this trend in officiating keeps up.

he always gets hacked in the playoffs he's used to it lol. i think hes just getting used to his new rotation and having teammates that are smart and can make some shots.

if anyone wants to know, specifically, what disturbs my sleep, it is this

malik monk last 4 games vs the heat

36 points, 11-18 FG, 9-13 3PT
32 points, 12-17 FG, 5-9 3PT
11 points, 4-9 FG, 2-3 3PT
27 points, 10-13 FG, 4-7 3PT

Malik Monk has 5 career games of 27+ points. Three of them have come against the Heat.

Ant Edwards 48-5-5-2

Current top 10 for my WARP metric. Nikola Jokic tops on a per-possession basis (EstNet), although not dramatically so as compared to Steph Curry after accounting for higher replacement level at center. Two missed games drop him to third in value. That's why MVP talk should wait. pic.twitter.com/eGNoa7reR2

— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) November 17, 2021

im always saying that

Kevin says to stop talking because all this talk is just so much talk

None of these garbage advanced metrics ever account for attacking a Morris. Should be worth at least an extra 0.8

everyone also thinks brow is a midrange assassin and i don’t think the stats back that up either

knicks just put up a 13 point first quarter at home vs the rockets… “the ugliest quarter of the season” says mike breen

the rockets play like they do not have a coach

getting a look at sengun… he reminds me of larry nance but prob more skilled. i could see him being a pretty dynamic sixth man. size wise idk if i see a starter tho he would be pretty good in small ball line ups. can kinda see why OKC took the pick over him but also don’t think the rockets are sweating it too much

A statistical summary of why the Knicks are pulling Kemba Walker from the rotation:

Knicks have the best defense in the league when he’s on the bench (99.0 DRtg) & are dead last (116.3 DRtg) when he’s on the floor.

They are 27th in offense with him playing, 9th with him off.

— Fred Katz (@FredKatz) November 29, 2021

yikes

small turnstile PG who can only shoot midrange jumpers & not very well… not an ideal combo

kemba in his defense has been an excellent 3pt shooter for a while now

damn tho
