NBA / 21 / 22 / FG / FT / 3PM / TO / BL / STATS

23 3-pointers from 3 men is virtually unbeatable 🎯

It's an NBA Record, first player ever to play 30 min 4 straight games and get 0pts every game. Broke a tie with Rodman and Charles Jones who did 3 games in a row.

he just kept getting in the paint it was weird like they just let him in there

Lebron 39 and 11 today, gotta be the oldest dude to do that

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/oldest-player-to-score-39-points-and-11-rebounds-in-a-game

lol why is it all lakers

dumb question, when they say somebody was “minus 12 for the 10 minutes he was in” or “plus 5 for the game” is it as simple as “his team had that point differential for the minutes he was in”?

yes

Lol what a dumb stat

i disagree, i think we need to reintroduce superstition and vibes based stats, rationalism is dead

in some ways it’s the only stat that truly matters the problem is it’s too hard to separate out one players impact esp in small samples

i mean otherwise known as…. the score

I mean it’s the score that happens when you’re in the game, in theory it should be very useful, in practice it depends a lot on coaching decisions and the quality of your teammates and opponents

for example the nuggets are +0.7 pts/100 possessions this season as a team, which is obviously thoroughly mediocre, but it’s probably worth noting that they’re +15.7 with nikola jokic on the floor and -11.9 with him on the bench

tho obviously part of that is the nuggets bench being somewhat trash, the lineups jokic plays etc. these are the sorts of things they try to account for in the advanced +/- stats like RPM and RAPTOR with varying degrees of success

like if you think about it it’s the ideal stat, the whole point of playing basketball is to score more points than the other team, things like points per game percentages etc are just surrogates. but in reality it’s hard to isolate the true impact on scoring differential

Plus minus over a small sample doesn’t tell much but over a big stretch can tell you a lot about a player

idk its pretty noisy even over a whole season, including the adjusted versions

Zubac tonight:

31 PTS
29 RBS
3 BLK
14/17 FG

He and Kareem alone as the only two in history to put up that line. Zu has been an absolute monster on both ends this season pic.twitter.com/fWy8Y6KcC9

croatians winning everywhere

quarter through the season and there are six guys averaging 30+, seems like a lot

i’m still stuck on zubac putting up 31-29

He’s doing some cp type stuff

Tyrese Haliburton’s last 3 games: 60 points, 40 assists, NO turnovers

— Charlie Cummings (@klaytheist11) November 29, 2022

Damn

yep except cp3 (or anyone else) has never done that

zu my guy

jokic’s shooting stats this season are just absurd. up to .685 on twos

being very generous with lower bounds here or else the lists would just be jokic

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=players+with+25%25+usage+and+65%25+true+shooting+in+a+season+with+500+minutes+played

booker 51-4-6-1 in 31 minutes

20/25 fg 6/7 3s

Pj Washington 0/13 fg

Brow 55-17-3 blocks (22/30 fg, 2/3 3p, 9/9 ft)
nice little piece of work

i should add, that's 99 pts over the past 2 games, both wins. they're 8-2 in last 10.

i am happy that AD can still ball but i need my lakers schadenfreude fix, it's been like multiple weeks

Yah this sucks

dude that nuts salute to brow i always believed in him

jose alvarado 38pts in 27mins off the bench

how can u not root for the guy, love that sneaky lil bastard

hes awesome

jose alvarado 38pts in 27mins off the bench

Also included a look at how we typically see traveling calls decrease after the first 20 games per team of the season, often dramatically so when it's a point of emphasis: https://t.co/u8AaJ0xcv1 (ESPN+) pic.twitter.com/VdOKqemXXf

nba reffing is broken

there is something fucked up about it for sure

the fact that

- they have points of emphasis to start every season and then like 1/4 of the way through just scrap them

- there's such thing as a "superstar whistle" and "home whistle" and its not refuted

- the reffing is completely different for the playoffs vs the reg season

makes the whole thing a scam.

imo star calls are the root of most ref problems. it introduces all this subjectivity - who is a star? how much leeway do they get? and then if refs feel they should be compensating based on the star factor, that compensation carries over to other parts of the current ref meta like lead management and makeup calls.

calling an nba game is already incredibly difficult and expecting refs to figure out all this other stuff on the fly is a recipe for shit. the league seems happy with the status quo tho

otm

The Warriors (18.7) are averaging 7.9 fewer free throw attempts per game than their opponents (26.6) this season, the highest differential in the NBA. It would be a franchise record
