Durant dribbled the ball 377 times in Game 3, about 240 more dribbles than he averaged per game for the season, according to data provided exclusively to Grantland from the SportVU camera system installed in 15 NBA arenas, including in both Houston and Oklahoma City. That number is between 50 and 100 fewer dribbles than the most dribbly point guards — Tony Parker, Westbrook, Mike Conley, Damian Lillard, et al. — averaged in recorded games, but it’s in the same neighborhood as the per-game averages for some point guards who don’t pound the ball quite as much (Kyrie Irving, Ricky Rubio, Ty Lawson, and others), per the SportVU data. Durant touched the ball 111 times in Game 3, almost double his season average, and a number that would've led the entire league, per the camera data.

of the clips/grizz, who has the singel best defender they can throw on durant? i dont think allen has the length

乒乓, Monday, 29 April 2013 23:44 (eleven years ago) link

barnes can probably bother him a little. but no one can actually stop him once he's got the ball

Kinda awkward reading some NBA Xian twitters re: Collins coming out. A guy like Jared Dudley -- who seems like a nice dude? -- spent about 30 tweets kinda defending Broussard / talking about the whole situation from an Xian pov. Just a weird dissonance between the civil tone/"we're prolly all sinners somehow" vs. the actual message being delivered.

you don't know how to stop pick n rolls (CompuPost), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 01:19 (eleven years ago) link

Broussard, forgetting he is a wretched sinner who stinks in God's nostrils like a dog that has been rolling its own filth, eagerly casts the first stone at the 'harlot' and hits Christ, who defends her, in the forehead. Xtian humility is a dead letter in the USA.

really satisfied not to have lin on the knicks right now

huun huurt 2 (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 01:56 (eleven years ago) link

he's better than felton, but not when he's injured, yeah

'scuse me while i make the sky cum (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 02:00 (eleven years ago) link

i'm not convinced he's better than felton

huun huurt 2 (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 02:02 (eleven years ago) link

They're pretty much the same.

what kind of ballet life do you lead (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 02:04 (eleven years ago) link

and he's definitely not $5 mil/yr better than felton

(averaging the lin contract)

huun huurt 2 (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 02:05 (eleven years ago) link

some very nice ballet turnovers from Harden tonight

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 30 April 2013 02:06 (eleven years ago) link

Lin is better than Felton because of defense but they're both bottom-tier starting PGs

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 30 April 2013 02:07 (eleven years ago) link

really confused by whatever it is the Thunder are trying to do on offense

felton's been good but he ate his way out of portland, i'd rather roll the dice with lin's injuries than that

Mark Jackson was asked on Monday to respond to Jason Collins' disclosure of his status as a gay man.

Jackson, who works for openly gay team president Rick Welts, has received attention for his ubiquitous Christianity as head coach of the Golden State Warriors.

"As a Christian man, I have beliefs of what's right and what's wrong," replied Jackson. "That being said, I know Jason Collins, I know his family and I'm certainly praying for them at this time."

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 30 April 2013 03:21 (eleven years ago) link

I kind of wish they just wouldn't ask people what they think

huun huurt 2 (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 03:24 (eleven years ago) link

like why should we even give a shit if there's some player or commentator out there who thinks there's something wrong with this
