If anyone wants to search "Donovan Mitchell" they can watch me going from lukewarm on him based on his louisville play to something else when his measurements came out to 100% advocating for him over kennard when he scrimmaged before the draft and then Mourningview and I saying he was the best player in history during summer league

Leonard (quad) has entered the "last steps" of his rehabilitation, going through 5-on-5 scrimmages and practicing with the full team, Jeff McDonald of MySanAntonio.com reports. According to coach Gregg Popovich, "Those are the last steps. That's what Tony [Parker] did before he came back."
Spin: Leonard is accompanying the team on their two-game road trip that starts Friday in Memphis and ends Sunday in Oklahoma City. While there still remains no official timetable for his return, his activity has clearly ramped up to levels similar to an NBA game. Also, though he may be feeling well enough to take the floor, McDonald reports that it may take time for Leonard to convince Popovich to deploy him, as it took two weeks from the time Tony Parker felt good enough to play for Popovich to send him out on the court. Understandably, the organization will want to err on the side of caution when it comes to Leonard's health, as he's one of the best players in the league.

Also: Gallo is out for one more week or so

I was going to include that and forgot as I was typing it, you were on the record as a strong pro Donovan Mitchell man

Obviously the Jazz had similar concerns about his ability to play pg and signed the best non Lebron passer in the NBA to compliment him, but they really need shooooting, shooters, shoooter.

A buddy of mine decided that Luke Kennard is his boy and is very excited whenever he does a thing. I don't know what happened or how it happened, but he's a statistician and generally a smart NBA fan so maybe he's on to something. Or he's being weird and obsessive about a random prospect that he picked. One of the two.

It's great that he's hitting dead open shots, if he was doing it in Boston he'd be called a revelation and future superstar, but I fear wings who can't defend

Bulls have a -11.6 SRS so far. I can't say I'm surprised though.


If LBJ gets ejected again and maintains an artificially low FTAr. Well, one might begin to wonder if undue political influence/bribes are coming into play!

Mandrel posted:

I can’t decide if there’s some phantom injury or if it’s just mental...

With the amount of work he did last year I think it could be having detrimental carryover effects this year. If RW was on the Bulls doing his 40+ USG% world tour racking up TDs I would've wanted him to slow down and let others do more stuff.

Yea, he'd get less TDs but we wouldn't have to worry about some odd health issues with him trying to recreate 1960s Wilt.

I meant to do this a long while ago but remembered recently. This chart has 20,747 dots representing the shooting of every NBA player season from 1947-2017 (71 years).


I highlighted ten good/five bad outlier seasons.

Elite scoring:
421 = 1967 Wilt
480.92 = 1972 Kareem
511.08 = 1982 Adrian Dantley
562.56 = 1988 Charles Barkley
511.28 = 1990 Karl Malone
412 = 1994 Shaq
473.96 = 2008 Amar'e Stoudemire
478.6 = 2014 LBJ
550.8 = 2014 KD
601 = 2016 Stephen Curry (highest ever)

Outstanding chucking:
-480.6 = 1948 Joe Fulks (lowest ever)
-345.44 = 1959 Woody Sauldsberry
-282.08 = 1966 Guy Rodgers
-165.4 = 1992 Mark Macon
-124.96 = 2016 Emmanuel Mudiay

Like a Slam Dunk video game? I’m not sure when the last one of those was released. NBA2K is generally what people play in regard to new stuff.

Amin Elhassan said that the Thunder have a great Net Rating. He also said they're playing really well in the 1st quarter when the plays are more scripted, but fall apart in the 4th. I would expect them to regress to the mean and put up a decent season.

Also, the Heat are getting the 4th best shots in the league because no teams close out on their shooters. They need to make a trade for a shooter and get Rodney Macgruder healthy.

Every stats guy I ever met has a player they're irrationally fans of. There was a 6th round TE that I was convinced was the best TE in the draft the other year and he caught a TD a week or two ago for the Vikings and I went ecstatic
