YES. i hate the pull up midway through a high pick and roll where the defender is still trying to get around the screen. they need to change that
― Heez, Wednesday, 30 December 2020 16:29 (three years ago) link
yeah im not sure what you can do about that one i mean its a foul, its funny that it took this long for guys to figure that play out
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 December 2020 16:31 (three years ago) link
def pretty cheap tho
i guess just shooting 3s off of screens used to be much less common and mostly defenders went under perimeter picks so the situation just didnt arise that much

one of these days the nuggets are going to want to rethink their “let the other team shoot as many threes as they want” strategy
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 30 December 2020 16:45 (three years ago) link
The nuggets have a Hartenstein problem tho, he’s just been terrible and it’s hard for me to believe that Nnaji is worse

NBA is pleased with opening-week TV ratings. It's the most-watched opening week since 2012 with combined viewership on TNT, ESPN and ABC up 67% vs. last season's opening week. League Pass viewership also up 67% vs. last season's opening week.— Jeff Zillgitt (@JeffZillgitt) December 30, 2020

no one likes the old free throw line its boring, yet! it is also the best way to get points
― lag∞n, Wednesday, December 30, 2020 11:19 AM (one hour ago)
it's honestly criminal that our idea to ban high fives after free throws has not caught on this year of all years, during a pandemic!
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 30 December 2020 17:52 (three years ago) link
Players build their games around repetition. Take away their hand slaps after free throws and their world will wobble on its axis.

I really like the Hornets. Lamelo ball plus 8 boring players who are good at defense is really a perfect formula

speaking of nba-adjacent music i keep hearing that "tyler herro" song on the radio and the first time i thought he maybe actually had something to do with it but apparently not.

“Shit, it’s hard to breathe in that mask,” Kawhi Leonard said, referring to the odd-shaped protective plastic mask he wore on his face Wednesday.“Serge can’t talk too much, we’ve got him on the trading block right now,” Leonard said. “Whoever wants him, let us know. We’re trying to trade Serge.”

that would be all kinds of crazy
― Respectfully Yours, (Aimless), Thursday, 31 December 2020 17:49 (three years ago) link
i suspect one contributor to the crazy variance so far is the empty arenas. not getting much press because we're used to it at this point, but feel like it was a very different thing to play without fans in the bubble, which was more like a camp, with everyone in the same place. i wonder if it's messing with players' heads in a different way to be in their home venues with 10-15K empty seats (does anyone know how big the bubble arenas were?).
way too many extraneous factors piled on top of each other this season to ever have any confidence in causality, but another really big one is the discrepancies in offseason rest. teams that didn't go to the bubble just got 9 months off! not a huge surprise they are completing some shocking upsets over teams that were still playing in august

Sixers shot 60% from 3 and put up 38 on the Magic in the first.

Oops: 98 with 2:13 left in the 3rd.
