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

I would love to read a really detailed article by, like, a kinesiologist about how SGA does what he does. Or watch an ESPN Sport Science or whatever.

He was the same way at Kentucky. Looks (relatively) slow and like he's not working hard, but usually gets to his spots with enough space to make shots.

It's pretty amazing if you watch it for very long.

I reckon OKC has a chance of being around the play-in game this year if SGA stays healthy and they don't shamelessly tank.

They're 7-8 - half of their losses have been against the Nuggets, Timberwolves, and Bucks. teams with dominant bigs that they need Chet to help with.

was just looking at some of jokic’s basic shooting splits to start the season, silly stuff:

0-3 ft: .771
3-10 ft: .625
10-16 ft: .467
16-23 ft: .857

wait hes shooting 86% from 16-23 feet???

thats crazy whats he shooting from 3 btw

two good games in a row now what haters

Ben Simmons in his last 8 games:

Previous 6 games: Last 2 games:

6.3 RPG 8.5 RPG
5.3 APG 5.0 APG

yeah but looking at his frequencies, he hardly ever shoots from that distance, I think it’s like 6/7 or something lol

the part of that that means something is his deadliness from within 10 feet. 77% at the rim (coupled with career high free throw rate AND career high free throw percentage) plus 62.5% from floater range…simply unstoppable. now if he would only take some more shots…

and yeah joe he’s been awful from 3 lol

da boston celtics baby

how come every site has a different number for offensive defensive and net rating isnt it just a points per possession situation whats going on here

current boston celtics offrtg
nba.com: 119.1 https://www.nba.com/stats/teams/advanced?dir=A&sort=OFF_RATING
basketball ref: 121 https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2023_ratings.html
statmuse: 120 https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=offensive+rating+2022-2023+nba+teams

then two that are called offensive efficiency
espn: 117.8 http://www.espn.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats
team rankings: 116.4 https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/offensive-efficiency

i believe the formula for offensive rating is more complex than just points per 100 possessions, but didn’t know there were that many variants on it

basketball refs says its just points per, wikipedia says otherwise but links to the basketball ref page lol, player rating is def a whole algo tho

then there is adjusted rating, idk why the plain one wld be any more than points per its what the people want

ohhh maybe i was looking at player rating.

but yeah let’s all get on the same page and use one rating here.

it wasnt even like i looked for five that didnt match those were the first five i found lol

Pacers' record after trailing by double-digits...

PJ Tucker is on pace to average the fewest FGA per game (3.1) by any player with 28+ MPG in a season.

He has 0 points in 3 straight games. 17 total points in November. pic.twitter.com/VyBFKwLptD

thats not a lot

Mr Intangibles

the most overrated signing of the offseason

one of those role players the media gets inexplicably fascinated by

And Daniel House has been a non-entity as well.

I watched last night and Melton/Milton were fun

Shooting is the separator…

Up=Elite 3P shotmaking
Down=Perimeter brick factory
Left=Takes ridiculously difficult shots
Right=Takes easy/open shots

klay buried

two mavs crushing it in the “high frequency of easy shots, low frequency of made shots” quadrant

luka creates easy shots for others and terrible ones for himself

steph as usual is an alien

yeah that’s a cool chart

youd think bullock and finney smith will regress to their means

23 3-pointers from 3 men is virtually unbeatable 🎯

Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Andrew Wiggins just showed us why 🙌 pic.twitter.com/uNmJYE55qY

It's an NBA Record, first player ever to play 30 min 4 straight games and get 0pts every game. Broke a tie with Rodman and Charles Jones who did 3 games in a row.

he just kept getting in the paint it was weird like they just let him in there

Lebron 39 and 11 today, gotta be the oldest dude to do that

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/oldest-player-to-score-39-points-and-11-rebounds-in-a-game

lol why is it all lakers

dumb question, when they say somebody was “minus 12 for the 10 minutes he was in” or “plus 5 for the game” is it as simple as “his team had that point differential for the minutes he was in”?

yes

Lol what a dumb stat
