    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    LAL shooting 57% from 3P and AD is 11-12 and DEN is 26% from 3P. One wpuld think LAL wpuld be up by more than15. Hope they can hold on to this either by continuing their hot shooting or figuring out a way to score whe they start misding. Wpuld love if this series we t on as long as possible.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Or JT can throw it up to the 7'3" guy and let him (and the other guys) play 4 on 3 or 3 on 2. I suppose they have numbers on this but it seems to me that doubling JT out high is leading to a lot of points. If I were an opposing coach, I wouldn't do it except maybe once or twice a game as a...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Other than the "more agile," aren't you describing Sabonis? Sabonis is like a better-passing but worse-defender Bam.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    According to the tweet below, Cs scored 1.56 points per possession against MIA's zone (1.17 ppp vs. man). So pretty close to hot knife through butter, at least as far as the NBA goes. Wayne Spooney on X: "Synergy has the Celtics scoring 1.17 points per possession against halfcourt man-to-man...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    According to NBA.com, the only baby hook that Bam hit over KP was with 3:30-ish left in the game and it was actually contested so not quite as easy as it looks. Bam also tried another "hookish" shot at the end of the 1H but KP blocked it. The list of 13 shot attempts Bam had on KP during the game:

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Agree. I'm sure BOS doesn't think that Bam's contested, fadeaway mid-range jumpers are going to beat them as BOS generally isn't sending help at all. Which means that Bam will score some but as you mention, there's no foul shots and there is no getting 3Ps off this either.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    According to BRef, MIA briefly threw out a lineup of Bam, Love, Robinson, Wright, and Highsmith. It's almost as if they were saying, "We know we can't guard you one-on-one so we'll give you so many matchups to exploit, you'll get confused just picking one." But that lineup did go +3 in the...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    Kryie first person in NBA history to score 20+ points in a quarter without missing a shot. https://athlonsports.com/nba/dallas-mavericks-kyrie-irving-makes-history-nba-playoffs-los-angeles-clippers. DAL got 64 from Kryie and Luka and still only scored 97. Woof.

    I like Jaquez too. He'd be an asset on any team but he's a rotation player. Josh Richardson is a good comp (more physical; better defender; less on offense); Jae Crowder (not as good a shooter); etc. How far he gets will depend solely on his jump shot. They are definitely asking a lot out...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Good analysis. MIA got 24 from Bam on 18 shots,16 for Jaquez on 16 shots. They got an unexpected 17 from Wright. BOS basically stopped playing for four minutes and MIA still ended up with only 94. So maybe Herro throws up some more shots and gets 20 inefficient points. Some of that will be...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I thought the Cs played pretty good offense until they got up 30+ and then they got bored. Obviously not ideal but they're human. But here's MIA's problem in a nutshell. According to NBA.com, Herro did this against BOS's defenders: 1-3 vs JB 1-3 vs Jrue 0-1 vs Al 0-2 vs KP 1-2 vs PP 0-2 vs...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    Are you saying that they're a better team than PHI right now or that they're a better team than PHI with a healthy Embiid? If the latter, I don't think too many people agree with that. I think PHI with a healthy Embiid is a better team.

    Yes, he was certainly aggressive with his shot but I feel like he doesn't have a ton in his bag at this stage of his career so while he'll get a few hustle baskets, he's defensible.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    Pacers are 0-12 from 3P. MIL has outscored them by 18 from 3P - that's really the game as of right now. That will change at some point.

    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    Herro benefits quite a bit from having Butler out there. The issue for MIA is that Herro isn't going to generate enough offense own his own as the #1 option against Jrue and DW. He just isn't. Yeah, MIA will struggle to break 100 in any game. They just don't have anyone who can break down...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    My point was that KP is in a much different role (and is a much different player) than he was on DAL, particularly the 2021 playoffs where he said he was told to "stand in the corner." Teams are going to be ultra-physical with him, particularly when he posts up. He's got to get used to that...
