these aren’t real stats but still cool

offensive box plus minus

In 29.5 minutes, Russell Westbrook had 8 points on 17 true shot attempts and 31% usage. He made just 1 of 13 field goal attempts and converted 5/8 at the line. He had turnovers on a quarter of his possessions.

For the season, he's now at 47% true shooting (NBA average is 55%). pic.twitter.com/6Fm2nv1jmB

russ 0/6 at the rim tonight yikes

lakers 5 starters scored 24 points tonight

everyone calm down!!

def my favorite lakers team in some years

The whole point of getting Russ is so lebron and ad could take reg season games off…

duncan robinson is currently second in the in NBA in terms of active streaks of consecutive games played with a made three pointer, with 57 games

number 1 is steph curry with 133. lol

jokic 25-15-10-2-2, 1 morris twin KO

Curry 50-7-10-3-1

Stephen Curry of the @warriors is the only NBA player in the last 25 years to have 50+ points, 10+ assists and a plus-minus of +30 or better in a single game.

harden was shooting 10-11 per game before last season

if players feel like they can crowd dame knowing they can be physical w/ him going to the rim it prob changes a lot of how he has to play offense

i dont see it on the drives its the pull up jumpers that arent getting the calls form what ive seen

It seems like it's affecting Steph's game, too. Outside of the two games he's gone nuclear his shooting's been off. His FTs aren't taking a huge dip because that was never an integral part of his game. He definitely makes his share of non-basketball moves but this year those just either end up looking like standard risky Steph turnovers or wild shots, like that insane three he made a couple games ago. Glad he's not complaining about and just figuring out how to work with it.
I do wonder what the playoffs will look like if this trend in officiating keeps up.

he always gets hacked in the playoffs he's used to it lol. i think hes just getting used to his new rotation and having teammates that are smart and can make some shots.

if anyone wants to know, specifically, what disturbs my sleep, it is this

malik monk last 4 games vs the heat

36 points, 11-18 FG, 9-13 3PT
32 points, 12-17 FG, 5-9 3PT
11 points, 4-9 FG, 2-3 3PT
27 points, 10-13 FG, 4-7 3PT

Malik Monk has 5 career games of 27+ points. Three of them have come against the Heat.

Ant Edwards 48-5-5-2

Current top 10 for my WARP metric. Nikola Jokic tops on a per-possession basis (EstNet), although not dramatically so as compared to Steph Curry after accounting for higher replacement level at center. Two missed games drop him to third in value. That's why MVP talk should wait. pic.twitter.com/eGNoa7reR2

— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) November 17, 2021

im always saying that

Kevin says to stop talking because all this talk is just so much talk

None of these garbage advanced metrics ever account for attacking a Morris. Should be worth at least an extra 0.8

ja

everyone also thinks brow is a midrange assassin and i don’t think the stats back that up either

knicks just put up a 13 point first quarter at home vs the rockets… “the ugliest quarter of the season” says mike breen

the rockets play like they do not have a coach

getting a look at sengun… he reminds me of larry nance but prob more skilled. i could see him being a pretty dynamic sixth man. size wise idk if i see a starter tho he would be pretty good in small ball line ups. can kinda see why OKC took the pick over him but also don’t think the rockets are sweating it too much

Giannis becomes the first player with 30 points, 20 rebounds and 5 assists in less than 35 minutes since Willie Naulls in 1959! #NBA75 @Giannis_An34: 32 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks in 30 minutes pic.twitter.com/K208KqDMYv

That’s an insane stat line

just another day at the office

brow sunday night w the almost 5x5

30-10-6-5-4

doesnt seem great

Anthony Davis made 1 of his 12 jumpers last night as Lakers lost to Kings.

Out of 56 players who have attempted at least 150 jumpers this season, he ranks last in efficiency, averaging just 0.71 points per shot. pic.twitter.com/sJuHuwWKEC

Curry 33-5-6-6

Mike Budenholzer is now 34-11-1 ATS, not straight up, against the spread vs. division opponents with Milwaukee.

He’s now 45-4 straight up vs. division opponents as coach of the Bucks.

A statistical summary of why the Knicks are pulling Kemba Walker from the rotation:

Knicks have the best defense in the league when he’s on the bench (99.0 DRtg) & are dead last (116.3 DRtg) when he’s on the floor.

They are 27th in offense with him playing, 9th with him off.

— Fred Katz (@FredKatz) November 29, 2021

yikes

small turnstile PG who can only shoot midrange jumpers & not very well… not an ideal combo

kemba in his defense has been an excellent 3pt shooter for a while now

16/25/10 for domantas sabonis

damn tho

The last time Cleveland won in Miami before tonight’s game was Jan 25, 2010, per @ESPNStatsInfo. The Cavaliers had lost 20 straight games there.
