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

    He was truly awful last night. His point of attack deficiencies are evident in the way they tax the rest of the defense in the half court, but he was also terrible in transition- bad decisions, bad effort, poor positioning and angles. He makes it really hard for his teammates to compensate

    Fair enough, didn’t mean to paint them all in a bad light (I have a friend who went to one after getting shut out of med schools and she’s a serious person doing good things now) I just dug around a bit about the one he went to and it seems to have a poor reputation. He sure does tweet...

    Hah, good to see suspicions confirmed by a real doc. Or X-ray technician, whatever

    Yeah, I follow Jesse Morse too for fantasy related stuff, and while his ortho-related stuff might be sound, once he started posting about ozone therapy, avoiding seed oils, and other pseudoscientific quackery I got curious and turns out his MD is from a diploma mill in the Caribbean. Doesn’t...

    2024 NBA Draft

    Kornet is definitely quick compared to Edey. It's not just Edey's foot speed- his processing on the defensive end is slow. He's consistently a step behind the play at the college level; NBA ball movement is going to give him whiplash. I see very little path for him becoming a rotation player for...

    Hah, I was gonna say that it was a Steph post disguised as a Luka post. (But seriously, Ben Taylor's stuff is always worth posting twice)

    Well this sure looks like a nightmare for the association. Apparently for the hurt eyeball game the under on his minutes played was the biggest winner of any player prop that day.

    Yeah, bargain bin Dray was always it. Or as far back as 7 years ago, anyway. At least in East Lansing. I wanted Tillman pretty badly with the Pritchard pick so I'm quite happy with this turn of events. Better late than never.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    OK but flipside is that Denver shot 26% and 19% from three in those games. FWIW, Celtics 3PAr in those games was 42% and 49%, their season average is 47%, 1st in the league; Denver's was 23% and 38%, season average of 35%, 30th in the league. But I'm not reading too much into those games other...

    Jaylen Brown: Will he be enough in Year 8?

    NBA.com has those wide open 3s as 6.5% of his 3pt attempts, so that's about 20 attempts total on the season. He's at 39.4% for "open" 3s (closest defender between 4-6 feet away), which are a third of his 3pt attempts. It's possible they saw something in his mechanics or something when he has a...

    All NBA Teams so far

    To keep harping on Derozan... his career net +/- numbers are such an anomaly among All- Star caliber players, I had to do a bit of digging: B-Ref has him at a - 2.1 net +/- per 100 possession for his career, and he's been negative in 13 out of his 15 seasons (he's - 3.2 this season). That just...

    And yet, as is almost always the case, his team is better with him off of the court. A great player can have a season with a negative net +/- due to lineups and variance, but it's fairly rare. Derozan, however, has been negative in 13 out of his 15 seasons. Add up everyone else in mentioned in...

    He’s been so, so good. I’m legitimately shocked how good OKC has been, and this is coming from someone who was hammering the over for them at 44.5 in October. And out of their top 7 in mpg, Shai is the oldest.

    Week Six: Two Undefeated Teams Remain

    Did the ref just make a mistake and say Denver when it was KC? Why aren’t they talking about what an idiotic decision that was?
