NBA / 21 / 22 / FG / FT / 3PM / TO / BL / STATS

good stats post them here

russell westbrook in his lakers debut!
8-5-4-0-0, 4/13, -23
including an uncontested layup and an “assist” in garbage time

hear me out what if brodie washed

Thing is… he can’t really stat pad on this team. Feel like his numbers are gonna take a pretty big hit on this team

we have two years of history now where westbrook changed teams and was basically god awful for like 3 months before figuring it out and being pretty good for the rest of the season, so we’ll see. the lakers for real have no shooting tho

lamelo 7/9 from 3

i think maybe in like 4 years i’ll come to accept that he’s a good 3 point shooter

jokic 32-16-7-3-1 with 6 turnovers, leading the nuggets in every category

lebron 9 threes to 4 free throws and 2 rebounds tonight. he’s just saving his body right…

I would say that even I could pull off that stat line in the NBA but there's no way I'd last 21 minutes out there

lol yes, a civilian would get posted up and bodied and carried out in less than five

30-7 and 32-9 in back to back games for miles bridges. did not think he'd reach this level as a scorer. he's a really good small ball player

yeah his development has been very good

cole anthony 29-16-8

i checked that rebound number on two two sites btw

jalen green scored 30 points in his 3rd nba game hes 19 years old

seems p good

steven adams first three games as a grizzly

8-14-3
17-9-5
14-16-6

maybe there’s something wrong in new orleans, hard to tell

wow big nums m8

It's not exactly a stat, but I don't know what other thread it fits in. On the 75th anniversary list of the "75 best players of all time" the NBA announced, Dame Lillard was the youngest player to make the list. Hey-oo!

*anthony davis is 3 years younger than damian and made the list

I was misinformed -- by a local sports writer.

dwight has a better resume than them both but everyones kind of forgotten about that due to reasons

it boils down to all the voters didn't want to vote for dwight bc everyone hates dwight

how i break it down to an extent

yah dwight is prob a top 50 player honestly. but lol at his exclusion

dwight has a better resume than them both but everyones kind of forgotten about that due to reasons

dwight is easily the most egregious snub, don’t really have an opinion about the 50s wites but the first guy I’d probably leave off is reggie miller

they just kept the top 50 from last time so it was really a 25 (26) list of new guys

reggie is v impt for 90s hoop history imo

sure I mean lots of guys are important

reggie belongs on the list imo if he played in the current era his stats would be crazy. you could make not just the historical figure argument (which i think is important — you can’t tell a history of 90s nba without him, which is true of john starks too but reggie’s skill level rises to a certain level) but also that he was a player ahead of his time who predicted where the game would go

he was such an amazing heal too, another guy whos ruined his legacy

Reggie hit an absolutely *insane* amount of threes for his era, it’s really hard to believe in retrospect

the og hoister. i really would think much more highly of him had he never broadcasted

prob woulda had a chip or two had the malice @ the palace not happened

isn’t the problem with dwight not just that ppl don’t like him but that his peak was actually pretty short? he was done as an elite player at age 29, for an all time great player to not have any impact into their 30s is pretty rare. does anyone remember what team dwight was on when he was 31 years old? (the hawks). if you go by all star game selections his 8 put him in the 50s on that list — same as dikembe
mutumbo & vince carter but also steve nash & dave cowens. he prob should’ve been on the 75 list but him falling off a cliff as a player at a time when most elite guys still have 5 years of great basketball left isn’t really anyone else’s fault

isn’t that mostly due to injuries though? his back just stopped cooperating iirc

mcgradys another guy like that

well dwight never really developed any actual skills and once him posting up stopped becoming even halfway useful he kinda became a zero on offense. he’s definitely one of the 75 best athletes in NBA history. probably one of the 75 best players too. but he was a beast for only like 5-6 years when he was at his athletic peak. once he left orlando he wasn’t the same, could still get lots of rebounds i guess

he's sustained a nice role player role and got a chip.

came outta high school and was pretty quickly impactful, not the shortest of peaks but for sure robbed of prime years with the back injury

this is a really strong resume

he's sustained a nice role player role and got a chip.

he was the 2nd best player in the league for a while

dragged an orlando team that had absolutely no business to the finals

all while subsisting entirely on skittles

objection your honor

i think i just expected him to be out of the league soon after his hawks stint?

hoping he will tear apart the lakers from the inside this time tho.

if you go by all star game selections his 8 put him in the 50s on that list

5 of which are first team, which puts him in the 20s, even more impressive considering there’s only 1 center spot. an open and shut case if you ask me

I see the argument for reggie for sure but the nature of a list like this is lots of good and important players are going to be left off. as I alluded to the real answer for who to leave off would be some guy from the 50s or whatever but it’s so hard to compare those early guys to guys from today. apparently the voters felt the same way because everyone seemed to just grandfather the old list in

other than dwight tho there probably isn’t an obvious snub out of current players. simmons voted for luka and jokic, which you can definitely make the case for either way. lowe apparently voted for iguodala, which…

they literally grandfathered the old list in, only voted on the new guys

In NBA history, one player in their entire career has had all three of:

- A 25/15/15 game

- A game with 40+ points on one or fewer made free throws

- A game with 7+ made threes

That player is Nikola Jokic, who did each of those in a different game over the last four days. pic.twitter.com/R76xxnmvBe

wemby with the 5x5 tonight:

25 pts
9 reb
7 ast
5 stl
5 blk
55 burgers
55 fries

also apparently this

Spurs 9 steals in the 3rd quarter is an NBA record steals in a quarter by a team

— David Locke (@DLocke09) November 1, 2024

siick xp doubt thatll be the last 5x5 we see from him

it’s already the second!

yeah the only guys with multiple 5x5s are hakeem, kirilenko, and wemby

rarified air. 5x5 is the coolest stat

Especially in today's stat-flashy league

Nikola Jokic this season:

152 PTS
58 REB
50 AST

nuggets are a team of extremes

conventional wisdom proving out so far

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GboXIPoXcAAyFy6?format=jpg&name=900x900

celtics not bothering to play d and with a bunch of injuries still killing it

wait how did you get that plot? the site is completely different for me this year

from twitter

its here tho https://dunksandthrees.com/stats/team

lol @ PHI, truly mid

not bad for not having your guys

I was surprised! I think its going to take Embiid coming back and everyone playing together for a month or two to even figure out the rotation. Caleb Martin, whose signing I was high on, has done absolutely nothing so far. Yabasule looks like he is going to be a very nice signing. But who knows.

yeah both those guys could go either way but everyone should be in a better spot can just play their roles when the stars are back

ty… I can’t figure out how to get to this page from the main site, at least on mobile. they made some major changes to the site and to the EPM methodology, and my sense is that it was mostly for the benefit of gamblers. I don’t find any of the new stuff useful

on the big computer its in the stats/tools dropdown, tho clicking on stats/tools does nothing but open the drop down which i hate it should be a link that takes to to a main stats/tools page

*its in the stats/tools dropdown under team stats

even worse clicking on stats/tools does nothing at all at least on desktop rolling over it opens the drop down

it even has a little x next to it when its open which means it should close when you click on it but it doesnt, prob works on mobile where theres no such thing as a rollover

lol u posting from the computer what are you in your forties

ok I figured it out thank u!

jokic: 30-11-14-2 on 11/13 shooting

hes pretty good i wonder if ppl are paying attention to this guy

might even be the mvp

whoa now a 2nd round pick winnin the mvp? thats a stretch

this year would be his 5th straight iirc (ethically)

https://thef5.substack.com/p/pushing-buttons

interview with taylor snarr the dunksandthrees/EPM creator. also has some cool stuff on coaching tendencies

not the first stats guy ive heard say franz is better than paulo, doesnt reflect well on them

the coaching part was interesting tho

I understand the paolo skepticism. being julius randle is great but probably not what you want your best guy being if you’re trying to contend

that analysis is way sub julius randle level

Is he at all like Julius Randle?

really just mean volume scorer not that efficient etc

crazy that a young player asked to be the lead creator on a team with no shooting might be inefficient guess hell just be like that forever thats stats baby

we’ll see!

damn very statsy

paolo is also 2 inches taller than randle, it’s not an insignificant margin. a lot of randle’s issues boil down to him being smaller than the great bigs in the league. paolo doesn’t have the same issue. i think it’s fair to say that his offensive game needs to keep evolving to the point where he can score more efficiently but i’m more so on the side of buying that there aren’t that many guys at his size who can facilitate offense off the dribble, and that his stats at his usage at his age portend really good things

paolos a beast franz isnt, beast stats favor paolo

38-18-15, 3 steals for jokic tonight. ho hum
