2019/2020 = NBA > STATS

the weirdest thing is that at the time even the ostensibly smart draft analysts were like "well look you can't blame them for taking ayton over doncic" which never made sense to me and looks even stupider now

People really talked themselves into that line of thinking it was always dumb

Part of the logic was that they had talent on the wing and nothing inside but then they let TJ Warren walk for nothing

they actually gave away a pick to rid themselves of his good contract

I forgot that. Even weirder.

thinking maybe the suns arent a great org idk need more data

only thing they had going for them was training staff and they let the guru behind that go iirc

Ayton -- who apparently is awful but I don't watch Suns games! -- sure has nice stats since his return.

Ayton is this generation’s Rony Seikaly

I'll let my mom know #GreekGod

was watching some old clips and rony was briefly in background and i was all hey its rony seikaly

not someone i think of much

The Hawks won in San Antonio for the first time since 1997. That’s before six of the current hawk players had even been born

it was a horrifying game from the spurs perspective!!!

kind of amazing he’s still shooting 37% this year even with those stinkers

mavs blazers 43 combined threes, tied for most in nba history

Harden 33% FG last 9 games

is that bad

Sub optimal iirc

Kawhi Leonard games w/ more than 7 assists (regular season)...

First 449 career games: 0
Last 53 games: 6

First career triple-double tonight.

re harden basically brought his percentages down to his normal range. wonder if he realized that even if he averaged 40 for the season he wasnt gonna get the mvp over giannis

i love that this was kawhis first triple double

they were all everyones doing it and kawhi was like ok

RWB only one single 3pa in his last four games. love it

lol

Kawhi says that he found out about his triple double from Ty Lue. When asked what he would do with the game ball:

“I don’t know, probably take it home. Might shoot with it.”

Harden playing too many minutes imo

Pls run him into the ground, Dan Tony.

34 years ago today, Manute Bol put up a crazy stat line 🖐 pic.twitter.com/QqQluwsNp6

whaa lol

Ok so I’m looking at the box score for the thunder-Timberwolves game and Steven Adams had 0/1/2 in 23 minutes and shabazz Napier had a triple double and the thunder won

Thunder w no gallo or Noel either. Adams is hobbled and sga has a bad shooting game and they still beat the wolves lol. I watched Lu Dort a few times out here at asu last season and I thought he was really bad. Can’t believe he’s getting run and producing in the pros already. Schroeder is 6th man of the year as of now.

wha

Eric Gordon tonight

50 points
6 rebounds
3 assists
2 steals
1 block
14/22 FG

No Russ or James might as well hoist

*van halen jump synth riff*
might as well
HOIST

Middleton 51/10/6

wtf everyone can just score 50 now

this feels like the 1980's nhl when all the all-time single season goals, ast, pts records are

He’s really close to 50/40/90

dame 36-10-11, first career triple double, dude is on a helluva heater

blazers becoming must see tv

trae double-double in the 1st quarter 12/10

r u watching on dvr

I haven’t watched a game in real time since I had a kid 3 years ago.

his final line was ridic 39-6-18

18 is a lot of assists that just doesn't happen much
