Feel like I say this every few weeks. Analytics hasn't hurt basketball, but certain narratives using analytics have. Stepback 3s with hand in face < wide open midrange.

And that has been the Bucks defensive game plan for all team. Long contest twos or simply, contested 2s rather than 3s.
Taking what the defense gives you but bad habits are step back 3s, which Harden is incredibly great at but he’s gotta take this mid range. Bucks also dominated the Rockets in the paint. Brogdan lived in the paint last night with Brook stretching out Capela

Yep, you can segment and cut data in any way you want to fit whatever narrative you want to support. The way people use analytics pisses the **** out of me

I haven't Watched Much of them this season, but there defense was in attack mode all night.
As far as guarding Harden i would Absolutely take this route if i was an opposing squad, simply because Dantoni has James so dead set on either taking a three for himself or someone else. It disrupts the offense more than ever, because nobody else touches the ball & Harden is left in the midrange in no man's land.

In a way we all obsess over stats a bit, i mean we see some one go 50% & think it's great, see someone go 33% & it's horrible.... in reality it's the difference between someone going 4/12 vs 6/12... two missed shots in an entire game. the whole stat thing never tells the whole story.

You guys are haters. My analytical laboratory says Harden has changed the sport.

Sixers might be in 6th place by ASB with this stretch coming up (1/15 - 2/12). Could legit go 0-13 through all this. Hoping for 7-6

Okay so Lakers can win without LeBron. They hve proven it. That team is a contender without him. Add LeBron to the Mix and anything less than a championship would have to go down as the biggest failure and disappointment in North American sports. And for such a proud franchise that never rebuilds, just reloads. This will be an interesting postseason.

Depth. No perimeter defense.

They lost to the stanking *** Wizards but you way too doom and gloom. They straight. They got 2 L's coming against the Lakers though.

I have legit concerns lol maybe in 2019 they'll beat the good teams for once

Chill. Only 5 of these are road games. Tough opponents but we should be okay.
Definitely need to be making multiple trades ASAP though.

? if Jimmy decides to walk.... do the sixers have significant cap room? Outside of JJ & Embiid who else is getting paid big money.
- 32,347
- 34,852
Yes. Over 40 mil. Could be more depending on JJ/Fultz

Oh damn, well at this point they may have to reconsider the Jimmy deal & spend on FA's instead, even if it ain't a KD/Kawhi Type dude, they could find a lot in this FA market

I'm really waiting to see if the cavs are going to lose their draft pick over Patrick Mccaw
Patrick Mccaw would immediately be in my top five forever

fire man
this is why i cut the kid some slack lol.. a lot of slack actually
that and he plays pretty damn good def
boy be checking dudes from 94 feet lol causes lots of TO's too
his offensive game is just doo doo but he's at least been making more 3's compared to last year and shooting them a bit more confidently

Picks up full court
Occasionally makes great passes
Sounds a lot like 6er legend TJ McConnell

I was told that this invites straight line drives and doesn't work anymore
But it's worth 3 points so therefore it's a better shot

The only thing from his that i deem inexcusable is the FT's, that **** is just unacceptable. But the rest of his offensive game i can see coming around. when he's actually engaged (IE looking to score) on offense dude could be a solid 15 ppg scorer s. With Elite Vision, Elite defense, & an all around game. I'm in on zo, he just has to get atleast decent from the line & try to improve his consistency on that three point shot.

Lonzo would've been a great player in the 90s
But in this era he's just barely an average player due to his lack of shooting.
If Ben Simmons was a smaller guy he'd be in the same boat as Lonzo
