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

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

Love

32-10 with 8 3s in 14 mins !

guarded by antetokounmpo too... thanasis antetokounmpo

Trae finished the season with the most points and most assist. pretty cool

thats alotta bucket baby

apparently trae will be due a lot of money if he's named to an all-NBA team. i'll be shocked if he doesn't get at least 3rd team. how does that affect next season's cap space?

it counts against the cap, celtics were in the same situation with tatum last year and he missed the cut saving them $35m over the life of his contract

so fans shouldn't complain so much when their team's player doesn't get named to one of the teams?

at least not the year before their max deal kicks in

The @Suns finished the season with identical records of 32-9 at home and 32-9 on the road.

They are just the fourth team in NBA history to record at least 32 wins both at home and on the road:

✅ 1972-73 Celtics
✅ 1995-96 Bulls

"defense wins championships" stocks holding steady in this rough market

probably in part related to all the fouls

It’s the first time a player has fewer than 25 field goals and more than 30 turnovers in a single postseason since the three-point era (1980).

love when a team really needs someone to step up and then someone really steps up

yeah insane game

Why would you need Bridges when you could have 14 games over two years of Zhaire Smith?

Let’s be real, even if the Sixers had held onto him, he would’ve been shipped out in a trade for some disgruntled superstar long ago

Somehow that's not making me feel better.

47 minutes for bridges too lol

that trade in retrospect is clearly one of the worst moves of the entire sordid process era but at the time it felt entirely defensible, they basically traded one first round pick for two. i don’t remember ppl saying at the time that bridges was some huge theft by the suns. and zhaire had that whole thing where he almost died from an allergic reaction or whatever, so i kinda give the sixers a pass on that one

but now that we’re talking about it… the sixers could have jayson tatum, bridges and embiid right now. ahh

1 (inadvertent) nut kick

fixed.

watch it again. he lost his balance and stumbled backward so badly after that (nut) shot for the simple reason that he'd awkwardly thrown his foot so far forward in order to kick alvarado's nuts that it wasn't possible to recover gracefully. alvarado had embarrassed him badly in crunch time in a playoff game. cp3 will always extract payback any way he can.

but now that we’re talking about it… the sixers could have jayson tatum, bridges and embiid right now. ahh

And Butler instead of Harris.

*pulls skin from face with fingernails*

dillon brooks 3/18 fg 1/10 threes.

checked that for the playoffs and thats only happened 20 or so times. apparently lebron had a 2/18 against boston in 08. kenyon martin 3/23 for 6 points 0 fta hahahaaaaa

2 names appear twice on that list:

John Starks (both in the 94 finals, both losses- brutal)
