I could 100% see a Blazers upset tho, not likely but wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world, cp3 prob just not going out like that in the first round though (he prefers round 2)

oh idk then. bkref doesn't have anything requiring player tracking data

they're def on nba.com/stats though their website is a nightmare. i think you have to go to the "shooting" tab or something iirc

i went to the shooting tab!

― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Friday, 15 April 2016 21:29 (seven years ago) link
anyway i was right defend the layup not steph the best he shot from three in any sort of guarding situation was 49% aka 1.5 pps which is less than 2, which is not even mentioning the fact that in the video they use to illustrate this point the defenders dont even have to make that choice cause they have a 4-3 advantage, im extremely upset

why is adams so bad in the advanced stats
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 23:52 (seven years ago) link
advanced stats suck at evaluating centers also he wasn't that good until late in the season + playoffs
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 23:54 (seven years ago) link
he was really inconsistent all year.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 23:55 (seven years ago) link
i always believed in him the archives will show
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 23:58 (seven years ago) link
he rebounded at a much higher rate in the offs is the biggest thing

xp nice as those are (and he gets more elevation than adams), they don't quite have the ferocity of some of SA's playoff dunks think i saw about eight of these:

he's really strong, and only 22

dams is great feel like he needs to add one more thing to his game to be elite. he prob could have some playmaking ability if he played on another team.

Not that this has anything to do with anything, but sometimes I look at the halftime score and don't watch the rest of the game just because I care. So. Much.

Was just thinking this, basically that short jumper ibaka used to use before they shoved him out to the line, could be a good option for Russell drives that get squashed or just a way to add some shell game to the p-n-r with Russ

adams also has a pretty fundamental post repertoire tho he only gets to try it out every second game
