I knew right away Milwaukee was gonna regret letting that guy go

if the heat finish in the top four, spoelstra really should be leading the conversation for coach of the year

The Miami Heat are 7th in the NBA in net rating and Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry have played in just 14 of the 39 games together. @5ReasonsSports

josh green, who was the first round pick that haralabob said he made after donnie nelson stormed out of the draft room, has put up 17-5 and 18-6 the last two games, his first ever career games in double figures

report card time

what a bizarre box score it was, too:

Clearly the answer to their woes is to give Bazemore more minutes.

baze time baby

baze more

Played 2K22 far more than actually watching NBA this year, so it's funny to watch highlights and realize so many are actual players and not AI names completely imagined by the CPU. Josh Giddey, wha??! Max Strus??

lol

haha

How about David Duke Jr, now starting for your Brooklyn Nets

aaron gordon with a 30 point, 12 rebound night in an 85 point loss?

john konchar got 17 rebounds in 28 minutes tonight?

jokic 25-15-14-2, 3 turnovers, +5 in a game they lose by 23

booker 48-5-6-3

the heat have drawn 75 charges this year. the number two team is the rockets w/ 37. by percentage i would imagine that's the biggest gap between 1 and 2 for any stat in the league

Embiid tonight 50 on 23 shots. 17-19 from 2, 15-17 from the line

Meanwhile his opponent Mo Bamba gets 32 with 7-8 from beyond the arc, wtf?!

some of you will recall my chronicling of jokic’s dunks last year…happy to report that he continues the blistering pace this year, currently 3.5% of his FGAs are dunks

50 on 23 is astonishing

41-14-7 for luka tonight. mavs have phx, mem, dubs next three, will be interesting to see how they look. they’re tightening their grip on the 5 seed at worst and look to be a lock to be in the top 6, barring a bad run of injuries

The defense is what’s surprising in Dallas

still too early to say but after all the carlisle hysteria it’s possible they didn’t end up downgrading their coaching situation and *whispers very softly* may have even upgraded it

I can’t believe it but it may be true. Even if it’s nothing more than just players buying in, that’s a major upgrade

i don’t think kidd is actually a better coach than carlisle, but if kidd can get a roster that’s built entirely around offense to play sustainably good defense then it might be better for them in the long run. the defense will prob come down a bit but the offense should come up, so we’ll see where the level is at. right now their net rating is better than last year but not as good as two years ago. still a top 10 team as of now. the other question is how kidd coaches a playoff series and whether he has the strategic chops to make on the fly adjustments

Yeah Kidd definitely seems like one of those honeymoon period coaches. Not all that surprised to see him get more buy in than Carlisle at this stage but let’s see how the players are responding to him in year 3, let alone year 10

CP3 last 2 games, total: 23 assists 0 turnovers

just saw that he has the most 10+ assist 0 turnover games in history (49)

Most 40-point games before turning 21, all-time:

8 — LeBron James
4 — Kevin Durant
4 — Luka Doncic
4 — Anthony Edwards

34-8-8, 2 steals, 4 blocks for cade cunningham tonight

celtics beat the kings by 53, were ahead by 60 in the 4th

Rude

the kid
40 points 8 boards 3 steals 3 blocks and 0 assists lol

big honey with his norm
28-21-9 in 34 minutes

last night edwards, towns, and russell combined for 79 points and 6 assists

don’t need to pass when you can score

towns only took 7 shots. his box scores are fascinating, theres really no reason he should be taking less than 15 shots per game

it's a bit nutty

he should be bombing 3s hes such a good shooter

when you look at the stats he’s so much better than the other two guys it’s not even close. he is who he is tho i guess. prob makes him an easy person to be around even if not conducive to winning as many basketball games as humanly possible

yeah ant is cool n all but the pecking order for shots is all messed up. kat still needs to be the guy out there until the kid is really ready. might just be too nice/passive to be a true chucker tho
