I was watching the Magic-Hornets play-in, and I was trying to figure out who Anthony Black reminded me of.

I found my favorite stat from this NBA season. @AndreDrummond shot 35.6% from 3 on 90 attempts. In the 2015-16 season, Drummond shot 35.5%...on free throws.

@AriWagner_ If Chet and Jalen Williams didn't sign with full max escalators, should we assume Duren will be signed to the 30% max?
English
If Jalen Duren is All-NBA (just as Cade did) #DetroitBasketball path to adding a secondary wing-scorer shrinks. Those leaps roadblock roster growth as the cost of greatness triggers the NBA Supermax escalator (25%→30% of cap)
CBA limits team-building when players are All-NBA.

Update: Minnesota's win over Houston means the Pistons will pick 21st. That was a great bit of work Trajan Langdon did in the 3-team deal that netted Kevin Huerter, moving up 7 spots. To do that on draft night would have cost ... a future protected first, probably?
Keith Langlois@Keith_Langlois
A good night for the Pistons. Their 59th win ties for the third most in franchise history. The kicker is that Toronto's loss means the pick swap the Pistons got from Minnesota in the Kevin Huerter deal conveys. It was protected 1-19. Pick will now be 20 or 21.

@SorareUS If I'm building for the future of a franchise, the JJJ v Sarr is kinda interesting.

Pick Your Starting 5 🏀
Stay under the 120 cap and build a squad that dominates the court.

Lots of finger pointing and no accountability.

Doc Rivers believes injuries, Giannis trade rumors, and having only one star player derailed the Bucks’ season “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 [Lillard] ... This year, having only one quote-unquote star, every other team has two and three. We needed health. We were thin ... All the talk [around Giannis] and all that stuff probably didn’t help either.” (Via si.com/nba/chris-mann…)

@BrettSiegelNBA So many coaches go out of their way to take the blame for stuff that isn't their fault, to not make or accept excuses... And then there's Glenn.

My simple solution to tanking.
Phase 1: Award preliminary ping pong balls using a weighted inverse performance index adjusted for strength of schedule, injury-corrected win probability, and a 12-variable regression model updated nightly by a committee of actuaries sponsored by Emirates.
Phase 2: Preliminary ping pong balls are distributed by an independent custodial agent following a 60-day comment period in which all 30 franchises may submit objections in writing then all 14 non-playoff teams are evaluated by a Warren Commission-type panel that assigns each a parameter in a simple ridge regression model. the coefficients are public. It's all powered by AWS.
English
@JustEsBaraheni Seems like the only way to eliminate tanking is to remove the incentive to lose. Even if they go to flat odds for all 30/32 teams, there will still be tankers who will prefer to fall from 1st to 5th pick rather than 2nd to 6th pick.

@artwithinpod Don't remember the dementors showing up on Harry's first ride to Hogwarts.

against all odds, I was fully unprepared for just how off-putting and uncomfortable this would be to watch. something about seeing such a classically-crafted, iconic film series translated into the aesthetics of a modern HBO prestige streamer show just feels uncanny valley wrong.

First trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series. Releasing this Christmas on HBO.

@KeithSmithNBA I think somewhere along the line, people started to think the 65 game threshold was put in place to preserve the integrity of the awards, rather than an attempt to punish good players for missing games.
English
The NBA's 65-game rule for awards has to:
A. Be tweaked considerably
or
B. Go away entirely
I prefer B. I think the awards voters did a fine job of determining if a player had played enough games without setting these fixed thresholds to hit.

In other words, he was delusional or just lying.
Or both.

President Trump said Monday that he spoke to a former president about bombing Iran. • An aide for George W. Bush says that “they haven’t been in touch." • An aide to Bill Clinton says that whoever Trump was referring to was not Clinton. • An Obama aide says “no recent conversations” have taken place between Barack Obama and Trump. • A source familiar with the matter said the former president Trump was referring to was not Joe Biden. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

@KeithSmithNBA @FrontOfficeShow @TrevorLane 4 eight team divisions, play teams in division 4 times (28), other teams twice (48), 76 game season (IST extra). Top 3 teams get seeded for division playoff, teams 4-6 do a play in style tourney to determine 4 seed. Four division playoff winners seeded by wins for semi-finals.

New @FrontOfficeShow is up! @TrevorLane and I talked a lot about expansion and the changes that could (and should!) come with it, Steph not shutting it down, injury updates, the NCAA Tournament, our bracket contest and more!

@BrianJNBA Instead of the Kobe Record will we now have the Bam Record? Or will people realize calling the guy with the second most points a record is silly?
English
Remembering how Tony Delk once scored 53 points on 27 shots with only one attempted 3 in an overtime game (that his team lost!)
Fastbreak Breakfast@fastbreakbreak
told my kids about bam’s 83 points this morning. they asked if this means people will lay off mythologizing kobe so much. also wanted to know if fans will reflect about how so many of the top scoring feats devolved into farces with little relation to the competitive game we love
English
@omarisankofa I feel like there are some fairly random 50 point performances, but no one ever scored 60+ without ever having a season averaging at least 25 ppg, and Bam's career high is 20.4.
