rockets-magic

the ending to rockets-magic is certifiably insane

drake powell…you have my attention

Here’s a fun stat this show shared: on average, teams take 31.5% off their shots at the rim and shoot 67.2% there. When it’s against Stew & Duren, teams take 15.3% at the rim and shoot 45.8%

an important development is taking place for the nuggets…

This is a good podcast and this is a great episode.

this was a lot of fun. covered a bunch of topics, including the insanity of the pistons defense⤵️

I can literally only conceive of this game in deeply, ~deeply~ spiritual terms.

a double-nickel on 91.5 ts% in the second end of a back-to-back is actually unhinged

the one trick to transform your google discover experience that nobody's talking about...

the nuggets have the best bench-player point differential per 100 possessions in the nba right now. they haven't ranked higher than 22nd since 2021. 2025-26: 1 2024-25: 24 2023-24: 22 2022-23: 29 2021-22: 23 2020-21: 13 2019-20: 20 2018-19: 8 2017-18: 20 2016-17: 11 2015-16: 19

"and in conclusion, this is how the 2026 nba all-star game will work"

this has been one acid trip of a few minutes from paolo banchero

paolo wyd?!?

vaxxed?

A mere 24-ish hours after scheduling this to publish, it looks like Tyronn Lue and the LA Clippers have reached this same conclusion: John Collins is in the starting lineup for the first time this season, and Kris Dunn will join him.

what in the actual concepts-of-plan fuck

Please, let me give him my ankles!

mitchell robinson was a +40 tonight against the nets while playing ~16.5 minutes. that is the largest single-game plus-minus (+40) of any nba player on record* to log UNDER 17 minutes. (*since 1996, per @stathead.com)

what a refreshing joel embiid game.

the mavs offense has been caps-lock BAD 🥴 @granthughes.bsky.social

Doug’s quotes in here are so discouraging. Suggesting this team has too many wings does not instill confidence that he understands his rosters composition, strengths, or weaknesses.

All I got from this was the Blazers are shooting 38% on wide open threes.
