"Through 20 games of the 2023-24 NBA season, the [Lakers] sit at 7th in West with an 11-9 record...finding themselves in the middle of the standings constitutes an underwhelming start for a team with real championship aspirations." - @RealSwishList ✍️ shorturl.at/fAGW2
Jokic averages more rebounds & assists on better efficiency from the field, line, & three than Luka.... while also being a better defender & handling the ball for much less time. So forget Luka winning the MVP, I'm confused as to why he's even ahead of Jokic in this race.
Lou Williams doesn't think Luka Doncic's case for MVP is realistic "Unfortunately for Luka... SGA, Jaylen Brown, Wemby have had a bigger impact on his team." (Via @RunItBackFDTV )
Lakers next 5 games. Predictions?
Uh so the LeBron Luka reaves trio that got a lot of buzz for not being good… is +9.4 nRTG for the season so…. LeBron Luka reaves and smart is +14.2 for the season Kind of surprised with rui instead of smart isn’t better - only +1.8
Amar'e Stoudemire, Candace Parker, Elena Delle Donne and Doc Rivers are among the members inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2026, sources tell ESPN.
Imagine if Shai wasn't called for the push off 🤯 Would have been NUTS
It's incredible to witness Bub Carrington His LEBRON value is dead last in the NBA this season, and is as far below average as Luka Doncic is above average.
Deandre Ayton will hit the 65-game threshold tonight and become eligible for end-of-season awards 🙌
Which is most important in today’s NBA?
Kevin Garnett scored 30 points in a playoff game just 9 times in his entire career He NEVER scored 40 in a playoff game either. This is over the course of a 143 game sample size. basketball-reference.com/players/g/garn… To Put that into perspective, Giannis had more 30 point playoff games in the 2021 NBA playoffs than KG had his entire career. He had more 40 point games in his one finals appearance than KG had his entire playoff career. People will say but what about the era, it’s a different ok. Let’s compare KG to his superstar contemporaries of that time. Kobe Bryant- Scored 30 points in a playoff game 75 times, 12 times hit 40, 1 time 50 Shaquille O’Neal- Scored 30 43 times, 12 times dropped 40 including multiple times in the finals Tim Duncan- Scored 30 32 times, 40 points 4 times Dirk Nowitski- Scored 30 39 times, 40 points 6 times and 50 once But assists % lol
Victor Wembanyama is a bad 1-on-1 isolation defender. This season he is allowing 1.09 ppp allowing an opponent FG% of 48.6, which ranks him in the bottom 20.8% of the NBA. He’s an elite shot blocker, but that’s it. ESPN is lying to you.
We've seen a gigantic difference in how LA's big 3 with Smart (w/no Rui) has played as opposed to with Rui (w/no Smart). +17.7 xNet Rating (higher than the +11.0 actual) vs -0.2 xNet (vs +0.5 actual).
WHY. ARE. WE. USING. DEFENSIVE. RATING. AS. AN. INDIVIDUAL. STAT. IN. 2026??????
As someone who saw peak Kobe and the rise of LeBron and Curry in real time Wemby is clearly the face of the NBA
Look at how bad the spacing is bro 😭
Doc Rivers on Bucks being eliminated from playoff contention: "It's been disappointing, obviously. Since I've been here, I haven't had a healthy stretch and it's been your key guys. It's been Giannis. It's been Dame ... This year, having only one quote-unquote star, every other team has two and three. We needed health. We were thin ... All the talk and all that stuff probably didn't help either." (via @eric_nehm)
