Not sure how insane it is, but Ben Simmons has never lost to the Knicks (13-0).

Is luka gonna do that Jokic thing where he comes to preseason all fat and then plays into shape over the next 4 months? Until one day 6/7 years into his career he’ll finally decide to start taking care of his body year round.
Luka Doncic got off to a slow start this season. December:23.8 PPG45.2 eFG%.250 W%January:28.3 PPG53.4 eFG%.467 W%February:30.3 PPG56.7 eFG%.667 W%March:31.1 PPG62.6 eFG%.714 W%He’s balling now. pic.twitter.com/4ey5g9ws7Z— StatMuse (@statmuse) March 22, 2021

i might suggest that at least some of the time these centers are open from 3 not because the defense wants them to be but because they are being guarded by centers, who tend to be bad at guarding the the 3pt line, also! if youre getting open looks and can knock them down at good rate then take them, who cares if the defense wants you to, lol theyre wrong
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 19:05 (three years ago) link
yes, i think that article saying "it's what the defense wants" is a pretty major oversimplification. if a ballhandler drives, the defensive 5 leaves the perimeter to contest, and the ballhandler finds the offensive 5 for a wide-open 3, i don't think that's what the defense wanted per se.
also his big chart is full of a bunch of guys who play mostly the 4, unless you can show me contest% when the guy is actually playing the 5 i don't think it's very informative.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 19:31 (three years ago) link
yep, i have lots of problems with that article (to say nothing of his annoying lede - how many stretch 5s did "we" think there were?).
in addition to lagoon's good point, doesn't the fact that (some of) the actually effective stretch 5s nonetheless get uncontested looks actually highlight the value of the stretch 4-5? Like, the players guarding them have been forced to choose between protecting the paint or trying to stay with their man. I would imagine that some percentage of contested 3s from guards and wings are contested because their defenders don't have that conundrum.
