Going back to March & including Games 2-5 of the conf. semis, the Warriors have lost their last 8 games without Stephen Curry. That streak will be challenged if he remains out vs. Indiana on Sunday. (Nuggets, Warriors & Pacers are playing a Friday-Saturday-Sunday round-robin.)

If you subtracted 2nd-chance points & just calculated *initial* offensive efficiency... 1. Milwaukee: 106.7 pp100p 10. Houston: 102.1 Counting 2nd-chance points -> overall offensive efficiency... 1. Houston: 122.4 pp100p 9. Milwaukee: 117.2 pp100p

Good on the Pels & Nets for getting their first win before it really became a thing. It's one thing to be bad. It's another to have that 0 in the win column for more than a couple of weeks.

Hawks lost Trae Young to a right knee injury late in the 1st quarter. Through their first 4 games, they had scored an anemic 91.1 points per 100 poss. in 60 minutes w/ Young off the floor. But they're playing the Nets tonight.

Actually, all 3 of those wins came with Philly down 10+ in the 4th quarter. They were 0-46 when trailing by 10+ in the 4th last season. This season: 3-0 In the 30 seasons for which we have pbp data, they've only twice had more than 3 wins after trailing by 10+ in the 4th. 07-08: 5-33 99-00: 4-20

The Sixers lead the league in offensive efficiency, but they're last in the league's expected FG% metric (43.5%). Obviously shooting better than they should given their shots they're taking, but also top 10 in TO% (1st), FTA/FGA (9th) & OREB% (7th).

Markkanen was a +26 in 45:00 last night. So the Jazz were somehow outscored by 22 points in his ... 8 minutes on the bench. Through 3 games, he has an on-off differential of 52.9 points per 100 possessions. Svi Mykhailiuk has an on-off diff. of 67.3!

The Rockets' 137 points on 92 possessions vs. Brooklyn last night is tied for the 15th most efficient game (148.9 per 100) in the 30 seasons for which we have play-by-play data. By far the most efficient of the season thus far:

Watched some BKN-TOR... Nets had Saraf/Traore at point for the first ~13 minutes, & they had a hard time getting across halfcourt vs. Raps' pressure. So Fernandez subbed in Dëmin early in the 2nd & left him in for the next 18:47. He looks like he belongs. Even had some good defensive plays.

I imagine that Wembanyama, like KD to a degree, will always have turnover issues. Impossible for him not to have a high dribble that defenders can poach. Long distance between him & the floor.

To be fair, tonight was his first preseason game, & I know that the Raptors are trying to be super aggressive defensively... But I'm not sure that Jakob Poeltl playing up at the level of the screen is a good idea. Gonna get torched pretty often.

Wasn't Dariq Whitehead one of the best players in his HS class a few years ago? Now, waived (by a bad team) before his 3rd year on a rookie deal, unable to fully recover from his injuries, I guess. Could (hopefully) be a great comeback story, someday.
