The Eye Test

Let's take a look at the best shooters of this first half of the season 2025/2026

Yesterday we saw Donte at the game with his foot up. He was already undergoing surgery the day after the injury. Tatum's example of speed and quality of recovery is going to start being copied: surgery the day after the injury and back in 10 months...

He's so good when he's healthy. His best regular season was undoubtedly with OKC, but his 2021 playoffs run with the Clippers were his best and most complete basketball.

@ESPNInsights This stat reminds us of Shaun Livingston's field goal percentage... but being true

This SGA stat is wild 🤯 Shai is 16-17 on FG and 29-33 on FT in the 4Q/OT since March 17.

@LegionHoops 73-35 on the second half

Things are looking really good for Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs: They just took a 3-1 series lead in Portland, and are set to face either the Timberwolves without Anthony Edwards or an exhausted Nuggets team that just played 7 games. The Western Conference Finals is in sights for Wemby’s first year in the playoffs. Buckle up.

@UsherNBA 9 stocks so far, is amazing the pressure he creates just standing in the zone

dude is so different

@MichaelRedd_ Jrue Holiday is an incredible leader, any team he plays on ends up being 10x more competitive.

Most fun first round series? I watched a lot of Blazers and Spurs this year, but I still didn't expect this to be my favorite watch of the first round. Young guys finding themselves. All-Stars. Playmaking. Defense. Leadership. Swings. What more could we ask for!

@UsherNBA Regardless of the final result of today, they have shown that they belong there. Hope the owner changes his mind and invests more on the team, the foundations are there

been so damn impressed by these Blazers

@TheDunkCentral @TheSteinLine @JakeLFischer Their last best season was back in 2018 with him on the team, they completely destroyed the Blazers in that first round series.

Rajon Rondo is a potential candidate for the Pelicans’ head coaching position, per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer “There's actually one more former Pelicans point guard who's been involved in the early stages of New Orleans search: Four-time NBA All-Star guard Rajon Rondo. League sources say Rondo has been interviewed for the post after serving as a special assistant on Doc Rivers' Milwaukee staff. Rondo is said to have felt his first coaching itch while recovering from a torn ACL as a Celtic, prompting Brad Stevens to bring him into staff meetings.” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)

@lastcallmax @SIChrisMannix @RaskinsThe @jaytatum0 Our bad, it was a ligament in the ankle, 2021

@_eyetest @SIChrisMannix @RaskinsThe @jaytatum0 When did he tear ACL

Donte DiVincenzo will undergo surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles today in New York. Same hospital (HSS), same surgeon (Martin O’Malley) same time frame as @jaytatum0.

@TheHoopCentral @Ashishkabaab Toronto found a good one

Collin Murray-Boyles today: 15 Points 10 Rebounds 3 Assists 2 Steals 27 Minutes UNDERRATED. 🔥

How did Mobley not dunk that??

Turned it back himself to where it was in the 2 minutes after lol

Donovan Mitchell turned the game in less than 2 minutes

@ScorpioGoodvibe That is unfair with VanVleet and Steven Adams being out for the full season. Very different team with these two

I told people this before that I didn't like the trade, but Houston getting Kevin Durant at the time. because this is a big mistake what Rockets did. #NBAX

@TheHoopCentral Props to both teams for bringing back the classic 2000s east conference matchups.

BRANDON INGRAM AT THE BUZZER. 🔥

@LegionHoops @NotoriousOHM A long film session with all the errors of the game would have killed that team probably.

Jamahl Mosley ditched the Magic’s usual film session after their loss to Philly, per @NotoriousOHM. Instead of breaking down film on the Hornets, he played a 3-minute highlight reel of the players’ heroics in the NCAA Tournament to “remind them who they are.” The Magic have won 2 straight since this moment. 👀 (h/t @TheNBABase)

@MrNYCbrooklyn @UsherNBA He is only 23 years old, calm. Respect the Hawks, you'll be seeing them for many years in April and May

@_eyetest @UsherNBA He’s a 4th option on the fckn hawks 🤦🏾‍♂️ the future of what exactly 🤔

Jonathan Kuminga 19-4-1-2-1 (7/12 FG), +10

Are not 4 DPOY enough? Nobody has disrespected him
