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

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)

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

they should be playing a lot of inside out with ant and russell driving and kicking to kat, itd be perfect cause kat would be pulling the opposing big man out

Lamelo 29-13-10-1-1, and more notably +45(!)

duncan robinson joining jayson tatum at the regression to the three point mean party, 18-32 in the last 3 games

Ja Morant is on pace to be the first guard to lead the NBA in points in the paint since the league began tracking the stat over 25 years ago.

He’s scoring 16.0 of his 26.4 ppg in the lane. pic.twitter.com/zJgVdz7DtR

Cool stat; cool player.

huh interesting I feel like there was another player who almost did that recently because that stat is ringing a bell. rose maybe?

zion?

wait. zion plays at guard?

yeah I meant a guard. idk I’m getting old

ah, missed that part

Pretty wild stat for a guard to lead in especially when Giannis is in the league.

I like Ja but that kind of stat just makes me think the rest of his team can't shoot

Kev, I do remember similar stat wrt Rose

you can check em all here https://www.nba.com/stats/players/misc/?sort=PTS_PAINT&dir=-1&Season=2021-22&SeasonType=Regular%20Season

could be rose lead the league in total paint points but not per game or something

Ayo Dosunmu 44 assists last 4 games (9 TOs)

he has been quite a nice find

don’t have the first clue who that is

luka doncic now has the second most 30 point, 10 rebound, 15 assist games in the history of the NBA (passing magic johnson, behind oscar robertson)

also now 10th all time in triple doubles

The best projected off. unit in the DARKO era was the Iggy/Steph/Curry/Klay/Barnes, on May 16, 2016, which projected 19.1 pts/100 better than league average.
The worst was the truly disastrous Wood/Theis/KPJ/J. Green/Tate lineup Houston used this year, at -11.7 pts/100.

(6/x)

Embiid 40/14/10 in 33 minutes.

Lakers star LeBron James has surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most points scored in NBA history combining regular season and postseason.
