2019/2020 = NBA > STATS

that post just convinced me that plumlee and herro are doomed to grow a goatee

why cant whites grow arms

JJJ 43/5 w 9 3s

nice

harden 40 point watch: 39.3

if I ever get the time I’m going to make a graph of harden’s career numbers because the trends are kind of nuts: literally year after year he has extremely similar peripheral numbers - true shooting, assist percentage, rebound percentage, turnover percentage, etc, despite an ever increasing workload/usage. he’s just a machine

3 wins, of them good (against harden rockets!) and 2 of them kinda pitiful (fox-less kings, booker-less suns), loss against the cavs (woof)

the good news lonnie walker is good, the bad news he's like 9th in the rotation

nets made only 8 two-point shots. nba record in in shot clock era. 13/50 from three 21/78 overall. 26.9% shooting lol.

hideous

real dead cat bounce vibes from these Knicks.

lol

Devin Booker ranks 245th of 250 qualified players in 538's RAPTOR defensive metric. He ranks 430th of 447 for ESPN's Defensive RPM metric. The Suns are 11 points per-100 better defensively when he sits than when he plays.

Five straight years of this. Maybe it's just who he is?

Booker's DRPM rank for each year of his career:

18-19: 496th of 514
17-18: 502nd of 521
16-17: 451st of 468
15-16: 419th of 423

He has NEVER ranked outside the NBA's *bottom 20 players* in DRPM. Not once in five years, including this year. It's kinda amazing.

Booker's ranking in D-PIPM for each year in his career:

seems bad

He hates defense so much it pains him to see ppl dbl team him in pickup games. Those poor fools.

All time offensive rebound leaders NBA/ABA
2. Artis Gilmore* 4816
3. Robert Parish* 4598
4. Buck Williams 4526

OK I knew he was a beast on off glass but…

1. Moses Malone* 7382

moses was a 3-time mvp winner! i feel like he doesnt get talked about enough as an all-timer

5th all-time rebounder, 9th all-time scorer, finals mvp, its a fuckin resume

i agree. it was a good time to be a center but looking back at his peak season stats will remind you that they were totally nuts. i think he would have been a compelling player in the modern game too.

oh i think his lack of passing or outside shooting would fuck him up in the modern game. the man never averaged more than 1.8 APG.

A bit of history for you. The Trail Blazers acquired Moses Malone in the ABA dispersal draft that happened when the NBA and ABA merged. However, the Blazers already had Bill Walton at center and had just acquired Maurice Lucas, too, so they traded Malone away at once for money and a 1st round pick.

The next season (1976-77) the Trail Blazers won the NBA championship, largely on the strength of the players they picked up in the dispersal draft. Nobody missed Moses Malone... until Walton got hurt in 1978, and the Blazers had no decent backup center, and they didn't get back to the Finals for another 13 years.

shit, another case of the blazers not picking someone bc they felt set at that position, when will they learn

oh i think his lack of passing or outside shooting would fuck him up in the modern game. the man never averaged more than 1.8 APG.

well i'm imagining he'd get modern coaching too. he was a more than respectable free throw shooter and i bet he could have done a little more passing.

if the lopez bros can learn to shoot threes this far into their career i figure moses malone coulda figured it out over a couple summers

thats true

also he hit this shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvPCLpABrwU&feature=emb_title

still one of the wildest shots ive ever seen

https://youtu.be/kvPCLpABrwU

try again

I think "black hole" was 1st used as term in bball for that 6ers team with Moses and Andrew Toney

moses passed.........it to himself off the rim

some of those off rebs should be reclassified as self-assists

NBA Scoring Leaders:

1. James Harden 38.3 ppg
2. Giannis Anteokounmpo 30.3 ppg
3. etc.

rockets need to trade russ so harden can average 40

jokic 47-8-5-2-1 with no turnovers

23rd player with 47 and not TOs

Bojan Bogdanovic had 35-0-0-0-0

straight buckets

I remember that game, Slam magazine mentioned it in like every issue for a few years

weird

Proof of the NBA’s dwindling middle class:

We’re almost halfway into the season, and only ONE team (OKC) is on pace for a win total in the 40s. Everyone else is pacing for 50-plus or 38-or-less.

— Fred Katz (@FredKatz) January 8, 2020

nets have lost 7 in a row and still have the 8 seed with a 2.5 game advantage

they shd do that play in tournament but then at the end announce that none of them are allowed in the playoffs

Giannis on pace to be the only player in NBA history to average 30 ppg without being in the top 50 minutes played

seems to be a trend for star players to have super high usage but play short minutes, lukas the same way

makes sense let em do their thing but understand that its tiring

Giannis on pace to be the only player in NBA history to average 30 ppg without being in the top 50 minutes played

curry had to be close in 2016

he was 25 in minutes played that season. around 34 mpg

giannis is 31 mpg ha

i could live another 300 years and still never be able to keep Bogdan Bogdanović and Bojan Bogdanović straight.

James Harden 11 turnovers in the first half. Record for a game is apparently 14?
