2018-2019 NBA Season Thread : The One Where the Spurs Miss the Playoffs

[Mugekuge]

Sixers 149 most since 1990, Hawks 142, Pacers 131, defense where are you?
I know this is a different era but damm, also Harden can score all he wants but man he went 1-17 from 3s two days ago.

Hawks too good. Kevin Huerter is a goddamn stud btw

The more I think about it, I think the shot clock change is what is boosting numbers. Average 20 offensive rebounds per game means 3.3 minutes worth of "possession changes" were added to each game. Obvi shooting is bananas rn, but I think the shot clock change is big

I can't find the article but it's more due to increased emphasis on freedom of movement (i.e. refs calling things tighter) and the general Morey-ball movement of increasing shot efficiency. The shot clock reset change has had a comparatively negligible effect.

This isn't the article I saw but this one has at least some statistical support. Looks like faster pace is another factor I didn't mention: https://torontosun.com/sports/basket...ring-explosion

I think the original article I'm referring to was on the ringer, I'll see if I can find it later

Malcolm Brogdon is shooting 52/43/97 this season.

Absolutely insane.

wanted to draft him so badly

unfortunately doc rivers was our GM at the time

Brooklyn has one of them good problems. D'Angelo has played better than I think anyone expected (currently better than Lonzo) but Spencer is the best backup point in the league. LeVert is maybe the best of them all and the purest 2 but it's a niiice backcourt, minutes crunch aside. Nets quietly working their way back from Russian purgatory.

[kisada]

it's crazy how much sean marks has done for that franchise.

i don't think people will ever appreciate enough how hard it is to grind absolutely nothing into something decent

[Andalusian girls]

saw Harden has more iso plays himself than any other team in the NBA. man can play some ugly ball but God damn this is ridiculous. single handedly forcing the Rox to respectability with Paul and Gordon injured.

[Deejay]

highest PER since the 73 season



def not better than wade tho

[archibaldcrane]

He doesn't even lead the league in PER this season.

No idea what stat you have there.

I am curious about those stats, Deejay if you have a link for that please.

Cuz https://www.basketball-reference.com...er_season.html

Those are all time leaders per season PER stat.

Not going to deny Harden season is incredible, also curious if he can keep that level for the rest of the season and when it really matter playoffs.

[Deejay]

points per 100, im an idiot and was looking at a bunch of things and conflated the two:

And there is this, GS w/ 51 in the first! lmao

Boogie is back tonight, obviously not expecting much but it'll be great to see him play again.
