I mean good for him in overcoming that mental block that otherwise would have prevented him from ever playing in the league…..but he is a pretty bad NBA player. He doesn’t have a plus NBA skill and is (maybe not even) arguably the worst shooting guard in the league this side of Simmons. Fultz is 1-9 on the year from three. He’s not long for this league if I had to guess.
I'm on the Gravyson train. Knockdown shooter.
can we break this out by rim attempts versus other? he's shooting more threes this year so I'd imagine it's even worse than this shows.
Ted Cruz Jr. being this good is as annoying AF. Obviously his life is made easier by KD, Book, and Beal, but .475 from 3 on 324 attempts (6.1 per 36 minutes) is freaking ridiculous. Ah well ... at least I'm not a Bucks or Grizzlies fan.
Curry-esque
I thought that was the universal sign for rolling a spleef?
I think that’s exactly what he was insinuating. I haven’t been watching so don’t know if the officiating has been anything other than the NBA standard
If we're just isolating individual recent games, they also recently lost to Atlanta without him and the Bulls with him.
Lmaooo wow. Would you say that he got his......money's worth on that T?
I love how in these threads quality opponents are routinely dismissed as nothing to be feared. Pretty sure we heard that about the Heat last season.
Yeah, the right attitude is probably closer to: "the NBA has never had more parity and elite talent. There are tons of teams that can get hot or figure out an identity and go on a run. There are also a lot of really scary players who are capable of figuring things out and being the best player in a given series. The fact that early-mid 30s stars seem to not age anymore only adds to that talent pool."
At rim field goal attempts blocked for Jimmy Butler, last 5 seasons, LA= League Average:
Cavs have won six of their past seven games with the C's in Cleveland.
The Pacers have been pretty average for awhile now (12-14 since January 12), this won't help. With the Magic and Heat picking things up, they'll have a hard time staying out of the play in.
Boy if the seeding as it is today holds up, that would so terrific. CLE / MIL / MIA / PHI as the 2, 3, 6, and 7 seeds. And on the other side, we would all get to see the PHO / DAL / LAL / GSW play-in tournament superfecta.
That Siakam trade is looking pretty ass right about now. Especially if he leaves anyway.
They had won 7 of 10 prior to hitting the road last week and have lost 3 of 4 since…..which is the 7th separate time this year they has lost 3 out of 4 games. They’ve been 5-6 games over .500 pretty much all year and are 35-29 now.
It's more Haliburton. He missed 8 of those 26 (Pacers went 4-4 with him on the bench), and he's averaged 16/3/9 while shooting .449 from the field and .317 from 3 (compared to 24/4/13 while shooting .497 from the field and .403 from 3 before this stretch). I don't know if it's injuries or a slump or regression or some combination, but the guy that looked like a higher scoring version of Steve Nash for the first few months of the year just hasn't existed for awhile.
Still in the honeymoon period. When they don't put the feng shui crystals in the right spot during this offseason, or perhaps the next offseason, he'll lose his s**t and start to mope and all of a sudden there will be a Hellenic Flu epidemic running through their locker room.
A bigger fine than you get for making contact with an official. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Haven't been watching but, my, that score. Both teams must have abysmal shooting percentages.
Neither gets to 40 at the half! I’ve been half watching and thought it was the 1Q until a minute ago.
Best part was the Heat announcers during that 8-0 run. “And the Heat fans are out of their seats!!!”
