CROWD SOURCING: What are the biggest questions you have a third of the way through the NBA season?

Shout out Bill Cartwright.

Just thinking about this for no real reason while watching Blazers-Pistons... Is Tiago Splitter the tallest coach in NBA history? He's 6-11.

There is so much Sidy Cissoko happening in this Blazers-Pistons game.

I'm doing fine, thanks.

Watching Ryan Nembhard is a strange experience because there's just this guy who looks and moves exactly like Andrew Nembhard but he's also clearly so tiny.

3️⃣ Things I Noticed on League Pass 🪙 Jalen Johnson, diming 🚘 Collin Gillespie, driving 🪢 Tyrese Maxey, on the double Johnson is all the way up to a 35.5% assist rate this year. And he's not just feasting on easy passes and friendly scorekeepers. www.lastnightinbasketball.com/three-things...

My god this slate is AWFUL.

I love when announcers talk about how a team wanted to avoid third-and-long situatons. As if teams ever don't want to avoid third-and-long. It's always a delight.

Why are the Lions running the ball there? You get a free passing play with the two-minute warning after the snap. You gotta be trying to get more than just a few yards with a run.

The Lions going for it on fourth-and-goal from the 2 is fine but doing it without either Gibbs or Jamo on the field is nuts.

It's all about The U, baby.

(Mali should've gone down at the 1.)

I believe in Baby Jesus.

In retrospect this swung when Toney got tripped up on the punt return.

Not going for it on fourth-and-2 near midfield, giving up like 17 third-down conversions, and letting them tie the game is bad stuff. I don't like it!

Hilarious non-penalty call on Frederique. That was so obvious. Defense is bailing out this horrendous offense, though.

All of these sequences after big plays have been absolutely horrible. It's like Dawson is trying not to score.

Hated that entire goal-to-go sequence, including and especially kicking from the 2-yard line.

So the recap the quarterback looks terrible, the kicker looks worse, and we managed the clock horribly for the 400,000th time. Good half.

Shannon Dawson.

Hey so this offense looks not great. The veteran SEC quarterback isn't seeing anything well and missed his wide-open TD opportunity.

Toney would've hit that pass to JoJo.

Ugh if Toney had time on that WR pass he had two different guys open for a TD on the opposite side of the field.

Go Canes.

I jumped on Dunc'd On with @nateduncannba.bsky.social to do our annual podcast about the biggest and best trends we're seeing in the NBA this season. This is always really fun.

Pray for Cam.

Bones Hyland hitting threes in front of Bones Barry. Poetic.

Mike Brown has to get Kolek off the floor.

Mitchell Robinson is 6-7 at the free throw line so everyone should be preparing their doomsday bunkers.

Edgecombe has learned and is toying with the Bridges-Robinson P&R coverage in the 3Q.

VJ Edgecombe is dramatically underestimating how long Mitchell Robinson's arms are.

Always one of my favorite episodes of Dunc’d On each year.

Paul George sat on the left-to-right Eurostep that Josh Hart always goes to in transition nd actually drew a charge on it. Great defense.

NBA teams are playing their starters less often than at any time in recent years. Lots of other trends are contributing to this, but it's a notable one in and of itself. www.lastnightinbasketball.com/how-often-ar...

The Seahawks get to take the banner back.

My most conservative opinion is that home jerseys should say your team name and road jerseys should say your city name, always.

It probably would be counter-productive but these people are such clowns that you have to believe that it just actually shows stuff that the DNC itself doesn't want it to show, so they're not releasing it for that reason.

This is really interesting, and indicative of the very good work that Jared does at Last Night in Basketball, to which you should subscribe!

The leaguewide share was already going down last year but the Knicks indeed have the biggest drop-off in the league, from 38.9% last year (first in the NBA) to 21.6% this year (22nd).
