You know i have no problem w/ that,but you’ve read through this thread enough to see who I’m talking bout.
That was a great watch. NBA Money Ball. Analytics winning. The point that Boston figured this out I agree with and unfortunately to beat them you might have to play the same way..
3s-15-45 =- 45 points on 33% shooting which is poor
2s- 20-40 = 40 points on 50% shooting which is great
So the numbers support you can win the game chucking bad 3s once you shoot enough of them.
I did disagree wirh the pick up ball point, maybe things changed but we wasn’t shooting 3s as much back then unless the guy was a 3 point shooter.

Yea…
for the worse.
Currently across the league, teams are averaging 100 possessions per game.
Just looking at shooting percentages in the league in 24-25 season so far: teams are shooing twos at 46% and threes at 36%. Out of 100 possessions, if a team shot only twos, they’d average 92 points. If a team only shot 3s, they’d average 108 points.
basketball stats don’t happen in a vacuum and this doesn’t account for the fact that two point attempts probably yield more free throws, but folks are up in arms about a strategy that generally yields more points for teams?

Cup hangover maybe.
I think they’ve moved into 3rd behind the Celts and Cavs. It’s more because I don’t really like any other East teams rather than thinking the Bucks are really good. But Giannis is beasting and Dame still a threat to go off at any time, so that’s enough against most teams.
looking back, the zion hype was out of control
I’m sure they measure it somehow. A lot of the NFL streams.Isn’t the NBA moving to streaming next season so we won’t even know about the ratings?
For sure.I might shed a tear when he and Steph retire
My only connection to PG is through his podcast and looking at young dudes with a side-eye for calling him the Goats.DCAllAfrican since you're the designated authority on bad games, are we gonna discuss Pandemic Pee shooting 2/12 for 5 points or does your hate only extend to GOATbert, the greatest defensive big man of modern times?
If the nba had a living, breathing commissioner is what he always says. Then they had Silver on the show and he said here I am living and breathing. Knew then we were doomed with that load management foolishness. Probably negotiated load mgmt with the same level of levity with the players association.I remember when Adam Silver came in and everybody loved him cause the players could literally do whatever they wanted. Kornhieser always held firm that he had no backbone and it would eventually backfire on him. Which it has pretty much.
