that trade in retrospect is clearly one of the worst moves of the entire sordid process era but at the time it felt entirely defensible, they basically traded one first round pick for two. i don’t remember ppl saying at the time that bridges was some huge theft by the suns. and zhaire had that whole thing where he almost died from an allergic reaction or whatever, so i kinda give the sixers a pass on that one

but now that we’re talking about it… the sixers could have jayson tatum, bridges and embiid right now. ahh

1 (inadvertent) nut kick
fixed.
watch it again. he lost his balance and stumbled backward so badly after that (nut) shot for the simple reason that he'd awkwardly thrown his foot so far forward in order to kick alvarado's nuts that it wasn't possible to recover gracefully. alvarado had embarrassed him badly in crunch time in a playoff game. cp3 will always extract payback any way he can.

Last season, the NBA saw it's smallest increase in 3PT Frequency in 10 years. It went from 39.4% to 39.9% and perhaps this means the 3pt explosion is nearing its apex— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) September 22, 2022
idk feel like theres still a some room for players to get better at shooting particularly in the front court but stylistically hoisting might be reaching equilibrium
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 September 2022 20:11 (one year ago) link
i mean how much more hoisting can you do past 40% of shots being hoists really

sorry I can't stop talking about ben simmons but thus far in 4 games he has committed 18 fouls and is 9 for 20 from the field. if his pf:fg ratio remains in the neighborhood of 2:1 probably not a good sign for the basketball nets of brooklyn

Real culprit seems to be a slight jump in turnover rate (12.3 to 12.7) and pace (98.2 to 99.9)Per cleaning the glass, average transition frequency is up from last year (15% to 16.2%)We’ve found the answer lol— Nekias (Nuh-KY-us) Duncan (@NekiasNBA) October 29, 2022
