Off The Bounce 🏀

Mo Diawara just hits every 3 he takes now, hey?

#Knicks

Coby White is so fun as a sixth man. And Kon Knueppel is an absolute LASER.

#Hornets #NBASky

If you squint a little, Baylor Scheierman definitely looks like Cooper Flagg from the broadcast camera angle (appearance, not play style)

#Celtics #NBASky

#Nuggets

#Nuggets @ #Thunder on Friday was an incredible basketball game. Give me another 7 game series of that please

#NBASky

Hope Mitchell and Harden can play in the rematch on March 3rd, I want to see this matchup with both teams healthy

Yes!

By my count, Wembanyama impacted 6 of Cunningham's missed shots, including 2 stellar blocks in the fourth quarter.

Castle impacted 9 of Cade's shots with on-ball chases and contests. Highlighted by fantastic physical D and block of Cade on the baseline around 5:35 of Q3.

#Spurs #NBASky

Cunnigham had a really tough shooting night, Wemby and Castle definitely impacted him offensively. 5/26 of FGs, not ideal. However, he still generated typical 10 assists and only 3 TOVs. Plus, loved his defensive play-making. 2 steals, 3 blocks.

#Pistons

This was an awesome, gritty, high-stakes game. Lots of quality defense. Wembanyama was incredible defensively, specifically in the 2nd half. 6 blocks overall, 5 in 2nd half. Castle was an absolute dawg harassing Cunningham on ball all night.

#Spurs #Pistons #NBASky

I'm totally on board with the Hugo Gonzalez hype. That kid is a defensive menace

#Celtics #NBASky

HYPED for #Spurs @ #Pistons this should be a dope game

#NBASky

Payton Pritchard put on a clinic for the #Celtics against the #Lakers today. Absolutely dancing off the dribble. Had the three ball going, was 6 of 9 from behind the arc. 30p/8a off the bench.

#NBASky

Also, Cunningham is 14/28 on threes over his last three games now. Would be big time for Detroit if he has that going come playoff time.

#NBASky #Pistons

I caught up on #Pistons @ #Knicks from the 19th. Man, what a showing from Cade Cunningham. When he’s got the jumper going like that, there’s just not much you can do. 42 points and 13 assists on 50% from the field. Command performance.

#NBASky

Most difficult omissions were Sengun and Harden.

Very well deserved

#Nuggets

Man I really wanted the #Hawks to be good this year

#NBASky

Definitely a little simpler to calculate, and would standardize things nicely. Using PPG and MPG gives me a look at who is scoring better per game. Fun to look at both versions

Top of the board would look like

1. Giannis, 0.651
2. SGA, 0.64
3. Jokic, 0.585
4. Doncic, 0.567
5. Curry, 0.553

So for Gilgeous-Alexander,

(31.8ppg x 0.67 ts%) / 33.3 mpg = 0.6398

Experimenting with looking at individual scoring volume + efficiency as

(points per game x true shooting %) / minutes per game

#NBASky

Lol, thank you for this 😂

…. Should I watch the all-star game?

Pure gold 😂

Top 10 teams in the standings at the all-star break. So impressive to see the #Pistons in that top spot, over even the #Thunder

Wembanyama has 25 points in the 1st quarter already vs the #Lakers...

#Spurs

Naji "The Knife" Marshall is still dope. Don't forget about him

#Mavericks #NBASky
