Hello, Simmons and Maxey for Harden and Tucker as the basis is the new rumor.
JDub got him back.bol bol just stuffed a full stretch wiseman at the rim which may be the longest meeting at the rim i ever seen
Cleveland is just a phone call away. Drummond & McGee have yard sale tags on them already.Nurkic out for an undetermined time with a broken wrist. The big market just went bid.
The bench is pumped!
Didn’t even notice them. Omg they look horrified!The bench is pumped!
The thing is, his volume has gone up after his 1-21 start during the first four games. He was averaging around five APG then and now its increased. To be fair, he has been drilling threes at a 26.7 clip over those eight games so the increased takes make perfect sense.19.7% on 5.5!!!! attempts per game. Shooters gonna shoot is right.
Don't know a ton about shooting but I believe his release point on FTs needs to be lower and more in front. He's releasing the ball over his head it looks like.Giannis 1-10 from the line. Yikes.
Something is definitely going on. But his FT regression has seemingly gone on for a while. Used to be 74-77% and now sitting in low 60s for last 75+ games.Don't know a ton about shooting but I believe his release point on FTs needs to be lower and more in front.

One issue could be that he's working so hard, he's in-between. I think he has different form for his FTs and his 3P shot and I think his release on his 3P shot is marginally better.Something is definitely going on. But his FT regression has seemingly gone on for a while. Used to be 74-77% and now sitting in low 60s for last 75+ games.
Giannis looked real good shooting them in ore game earlier this year to where it was noticeable. The problem isn’t about anything more than between the ears. He’s overthinking and aiming the ball not unlike Shaq back in the day. I’ll go back to what I always say about the game of basketball......it is a reactionary game, not a thinking game. If you are out on the floor thinking you are in a world of trouble. That’s Giannis at the FT line.Something is definitely going on. But his FT regression has seemingly gone on for a while.

Yeah, but he sucked during the fourth quarter and allowed the Thunder to tie the game after being down 22 points. Let's hear it for Dort --- 21 points, 8 rebounds, 6 steals, and 1 block! And Shai -- 33 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds!Zach LaVine may not be the NBA's most well-rounded player, but he's an amazingly effortless scorer. He was 8 for 14 from long range last nite against OKC, and he's still an off-the-charts athlete.
9 TO's, almost got the quad double!Harden with a triple double. Playing hard, being generous with the ball, and fighting for rebounds.
He's epically great but his behavior in Houston was as bad as it gets. It's a shame he was rewarded for his nonsense. That said, Houston got paid for the hassle, so I guess they can't complain too much.
I kind of feel similarly about a QB throwing the ball away instead of taking a sackWhoa, thanks to checking out Ben Simmons' amazing shooting stats, I just noticed that Basketball Reference keeps track of "heaves" — which means we can actually determine players' true 3FG% instead of the phony BS number they've been force-feeding us all these years? I'll go to my grave ranting it: **buzzer heaves are not the same as shot attempts.**
So, just to choose one example at random...
Steph Curry fake news career 3FG%: .433
Steph Curry actual career 3FG% (excluding heaves): .439
Goddammit, that is not a trivial difference! The NBA seriously needs to rectify this injustice post-haste. The current dumb rule hurts a lot of other players' numbers, too, but Steph has to be among the most punished by it, as he's one of the few players who will always opt to heave it in order to marginally improve his team's chances of winning, rather than swallow it to protect his precious 3FG%
Quickie comparison of career heaves among fellow 3 pt bombers:
Curry 81
Harden 17
Lillard 17
Thompson 16
Durant 9
Damn. Don't be surprised to find me sleeping in front of Adam Silver's office with a "HEAVES ARE NOT ATTEMPTS" placard by my side...

He had a big block game or two last year iirc. They were really strips though (he has very good hands).Did anyone see that Kanter had 5 blocks last night against Atlanta? ??? So now that's part of his game?
For the amount of hate he gets around here, he was very efficient during the regular season last yearDid anyone see that Kanter had 5 blocks last night against Atlanta? ??? So now that's part of his game?
This post got me to look at the league leaders. Andre Drummond has almost 16 rebounds a game. That is an incredible number.When was the last time a center lead the league in assists? Was it Wilt?
Last and only. LeBron is the second biggest player ever to lead the league.When was the last time a center lead the league in assists? Was it Wilt?
To get the Mavs back to only an 11-point deficit, at home, against the Bulls. (Great play...but just saying.)Luka is just incredible. Sick behind the back dribble to himself instantly to a behind the back pass for an easy dunk
Luka wants to be James Harden but he's a bad 3 point shooter. His defense isn't great either. Give me Tatum.To get the Mavs back to only an 11-point deficit, at home, against the Bulls. (Great play...but just saying.)
Porter, 20, who has not played this season due to personal issues, grew angry when he entered the locker room and realized the team gave his old locker to Taurean Prince, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade Wednesday.
Sources said Porter, whose locker was moved to the wall where the younger, end-of-bench players reside, began yelling and at one point threw food.
Sources said general manager Koby Altman came into the locker room and confronted Porter, and the player remained combative with his boss. The Cavs spent the weekend trying to trade him.
Coach J.B. Bickerstaff heard the commotion in the locker room from his office and came in, shocked and disgusted by what he heard.
