Interesting discussion during the Alamodome Ball, that the high ceilings and the court floor raised up from the first row of seats was distracting for shooters during Final Four games.

I had noticed during the warmup games before the 2021 Tokyo Olympics that Australia played very well in Las Vegas against the US. I'm trying to find photo evidence but I swear even though the WNBA Aces play there regularly, the court was raised up.

Is there any NBA rule that prevents a team from raising the elevation of the hardwood and backing up the courtside seats to mess with visiting shooters and to allow home players to make more diving out-of-bounds saves?

quote:

Jokic is arguably the greatest passing center in NBA history. According to Second Spectrum, Jokic leads every player in the NBA in passes over the past three seasons (including this one) by a lot, with 15,236 total passes that are almost four thousand more to the group of point guards in the second-through-fourth slots (Luka Doncic 11,510, Chris Paul 11,499 and Russell Westbrook 11,161).


quote:

During the past three seasons, Jokic is shooting an outstanding 52.6% from the field from 16-feet to the 3-point line, and over 36% from behind the arc.

In other words, Jokic is converting the now frowned-upon long midrange jumper at an efficiency that rivals what most of the league can generate from the more coveted locations near the rim and behind the arc. To put it in perspective, arguably the greatest frontcourt shot maker of this generation, Kevin Durant, is in the same neighborhood with a 54.2 FG% from 16 feet to the 3-point line and 40.0% from behind the arc during that span.


quote:

And, when you pair that historic passing with the historic shooting from a big man, we see how Jokic is making history. According to Second Spectrum Jokic's passes lead to incredibly positive results for the Nuggets, a whopping 1.23 points per possession that is among the best in the league. And his passing ability makes his shooting even more effective, helping Jokic generate an eye-popping 1.43 points per possession when he shoots.

Put it together, and it's understandable that Jokic led the entire NBA in Real Plus Minus last season, and is in the top-3 again this season. And it translates to his box score stats (read fantasy basketball impact) as well, with Jokic leading the league in fantasy points scored (by a lot) in each of the last two seasons and trailing only Doncic thus far this season.

Predictably, the Celtics are playing a bad team with an awful record and are losing by double digits in the first half

I really think Melton should have been in the game instead of Maxey. They have no D at the guard position when Maxey and Harden are on the floor together. Maxey made one clutch shot but was MIA with passing/d

embiid versus westbrook is a mismatch anyway you slice it.

that's not westbrook's fault, it was a close game so every missed shot could have won, but on the rebound after the shot clock turned off every one watching the game knew darvin ham should have called the time out

westbrook can call the time out but he's dribbling, he's paid to dribble. ham is paid to call the time out and write up a play.

in summary give embiid the mvp trophy that westbrook has, and stop forcing westbrook to be a mvp caliber player that he simply isn't anymore. he's just okay.
