The loss by the Sacramento Kings tonight extends an amazing streak:

Winning seasons in Sacramento with Rick Adelman as coach: 8 in 8 years

Winning seasons in Sacramento with anyone else as coach: 0 in 28 years

20-year-old Kevin Porter, Jr. surpasses LeBron James to be the youngest person with 50 points and 10+ assists in NBA history, per @Stathead. LeBron was 23 when he did it.

we're in that part of the season where random stuff starts happening.

that is extremely random

that's a game ball he'll keep

lol

they said nobody could replace James Harden in Houston and then KPJ dropped 50/11 after getting fined for going to a strip club. that legacy is in good hands.

haha yes

that is leadership

Scoring 50 should be known as a hemiwilt.

wonder if/when there's been 20 reb/20 assist trip dubs before. Probably unlikely anyone's ever done it while taking only 8 shots!

He did it when nipsey hussle died 20/20/20

and wilt did it in 68...and those are the only three times it's happened

that nipsey game didn't seem plausible, more like kayfabe.

Wizards-Pacers was the second fastest-paced game (119.5) in the 25 seasons for which we have play-by-play data, topped only by a Lakers-Suns game in '17-18 (120.0).

120 possessions for the Wiz, 119 for the Pacers.https://t.co/EzW8pA9P4V

Just now noticed that the Wizards had 96 points in the paint last night. That's the most in any game in the 25 seasons for which we have PITP.

The 2 highest totals this season (also Grizzlies' 88) have come against the Pacers: https://t.co/D1hBtmClbT

The Efficiency Landscape. What Jumps Out? pic.twitter.com/KmB1BMWVE1

Pelicans defense!

and somehow their great offense went to hell lol, maybe theyre playing different guys idk

Everytime I look at one of these Goldsberry graphs I do a bunch of confused double takes for the first 10 seconds before I remember that they are not for the whole season.

Pels D definitely jumps out, and Warriors #2!

haha like if the Timberwolves could even play a conventionally "bad" level of defense they might be competitive, like being that far below the Nets is incredible

jazz really just been hanging out in the top right of the top right all season

struggling to derive any meaning from a 15 game sample size at the end of this current basketball season

who’s hot, who’s not

ever heard of “the big mo” jordan

its sad when ppl dont kno about the mo

Steph Curry has made 136 threes since April 1st.

Trae Young has made 132 since the start of the season.

— Paul Headley NBA (@PaulHeadleyNBA) May 9, 2021

Per ESPN Stats & Info, the Thunder have been outscored by 490 points in their last 25 games, the worst margin of defeat by any team in any 25-game span in NBA history. Previous worst was by the 92-93 Mavs (489 points), who went 11-71 that season.

That is so weird. I know the Sixers have been beating up on undermanned creampuffs, but they haven't had much continuity in their starters and their bench hasn't seemed as good in the second half.

wolves!
nets!

it's been nice to see the wizards turn into a fun team

another day another article about how basketball stats are bad https://www.theringer.com/nba/2021/5/11/22423517/nba-defense-analytics-nikola-jokic

good article thx. hadn’t even heard of a couple of those metrics eg LEBRON

LEBRON, never heard of him

it's been nice to see the wizards turn into a fun team

iirc there was general agreement on here before the season that they had a dece roster but westbrook was so bad FOR WHATEVER REASON and then he got back to being himself and they were dece

yeah they're this feelgood story but really they turned into the low-end playoff team everyone was expecting back in december
