Yeah but could he do it when it matters most, like in the playoffs

Oh my god

Most efficient post-up players with at least 2 possessions per game: 1) Porzingis, 2) Tatum, 3) Harris, 4) AD, 5) KAT in c/nba@nba.space

Odd to switch from a 2 possession minimum to 1. Almost seems intentional

Nikola Jokic has 7 triple doubles for the season. The rest of the NBA has 8. in c/nba@nba.space

I’m not sure the math is right on that one but I’m not gonna argue

If you combine the 2 LA teams how far can they go? in c/nba@nba.space

Depends on when they have to face the nuggets. Whenever that is.

73% of NBA players are black. Yet only 8% of radio and television announcers are black, most being white. This is not talked about enough as a manifestation of subconscious racial bias in the league in c/nba@nba.space

Alright well I’ll respond fairly since most people aren’t.

If we’re all willing to accept that the reason black people are disproportionately represented in the league because they’re simply better at basketball, is it unreasonable to say white people are disproportionately represented in announcing because they’re better at announcing?

I documented the top usage player of every team that won a playoff series over the past 20 years. Here are the ceilings of individual players as top options on their playoff teams in this window. in c/nba@nba.space

The Nuggets have the best clutch defense in the NBA. They were third best last season. (alien.top)

They were also the #4 defense in the playoffs last year. Denver’s defense has been amazing down the stretch when it matters the most. Granted it’s on a small sample size.

Is this indicative of their “actual” defensive ability or is it a fluke that will be normalized as the season progresses?

As a Celtics fan, I think its time to drop Mazulla and pick up what I believe is the next great Basketball Coach in c/nba@nba.space

When you aren’t funny enough for nbacirclejerk:

The Detroit Lions and the Detroit Pistons have won the same amount of games (16) in the last calendar year in c/nba@nba.space
[–] Savahoodie@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Since the pistons had wins November 22nd and 23rd, there’s a chance by this time next week the Lions will have won 3 more games!

Is there an objective way to tell if a team is “fairly” officiated? (alien.top)
 

After reading the responses on this post

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/9QCMKXBnr6

It seems the consensus is that points in the paint is NOT a fair way to determine if a team get the right amount of calls. Additionally, the L2M report is controversial. Other than the eye test (which doesn’t work because no one is watching all 30 teams), is there any way to definitively say that a team gets a good whistle?

Note-I’m not trying to talk about the nuggets or argue they should get more calls. I’m just interested in seeing how other people determine what a fair whistle is.
