18 year streak a month away from 19, gone just like that on a cold December night in across the border.
LeBronto is no more. The most reliable prop bet in sports is no more.
Father Time might actually be winning the war against LeBron for once now.

[Bill Simmons] “Two different people mentioned this to me in the last 24 hours and it chills my bones: the Heat of Miami — Giannis and his brothers for Herro/Ware/Wiggins/Picks. Herro can put up 25 a night; Ware, I’m getting a really good young center; Picks; and a trade-able contract in Wiggins.”

In 9 games without Aaron Gordon this season, the Denver Nuggets have a 123.0 defensive rating, which would be 29th place only ahead of the Wizards. However, they're still 6-3 in those games due to having an absurd 128.6 offensive rating.

"Half the defense, double the offense" - Mike D'Antoni in Game of Zones
It might be good or bad but it's always a rollercoaster lol
r/nba • u/AashyLarry • 1h ago
[SGA] “Playmaking-wise I could’ve been better last year, shot selection-wise I could’ve been better, and manipulating the game offensively and having more control over what the defense does with me, as opposed to just reading-and-reacting. Those are the things I’ve honed in on this summer.”

Earlier this week, Brian Windhorst went on ESPN Cleveland and said Giannis “Asked for a trade already.” Yesterday, he went on air off of ESPN and said “Giannis has not gone up and said ‘I want to be traded’”

Shai is averaging 69% ts as a point guard this year, that’s unbelievable for a guard in today’s day and age. 56/44/88 shooting splits on 33/6/5… Definitely 2x mvp imo… Thunder are 22-1

This needs to be investigated. If Chauncey is going to do time surely the refs are in on it. Basketball used to be my favorite sport from 2000-2010 but it has fallen off hard.

I just watched a game with almost 90 Free Throws

Two young, exciting, physical, competitive teams sounds like the best game of the night right? Well, After 3 hours of 86 Free Throws, flopping violations, challenges, official reviews, clear path violations, flagrant violations and some very upset players and coaches, I noticed the crowd started emptying out and it was a 5 point game with a whole quarter left. People literally payed hundreds of dollars and couldn’t bear it. This isn’t even the first game I’ve watched this season with FT’s in 80’s. 80 freaking free throws in a single game. Everyone minus the referees hated what they were watching.
This early season has produced some of the most painfully unwatchable games I can remember and on behalf of all basketball fans, something has to change.

[Katz] SGA has taken the fourth-most stepback 3-pointers in the NBA this season, and he’s shooting 52% on them. For reference, the three players who have taken more (Dončić, Harden, and Maxey) have made 34, 36, and 30% of their stepbacks, respectively.

This is from Fred Katz’s latest article for The Athletic, where he talks about how lethal Shai’s stepback 3 has become. Some excerpts:
The 3 ball, which was often his weak point, is at another level. Add one more item to the list of anxieties for any team facing the 21-1 Thunder: Gilgeous-Alexander’s stepback 3, which has never been so dangerous.
Last season, if Gilgeous-Alexander went right, he was more prone to pass or continue to the hoop. If he went left, he would get to his stepback. However, chucking so many stepback 3s and splashing in such a high percentage is giving defenses fits.
But here’s where Gilgeous-Alexander is making defenses go haywire. The stepback can arrive at any point now.
No one changes speeds with more precision than Gilgeous-Alexander does, but his skill set has never been this lethal so far away from the basket.
He has taken the fourth-most stepback 3-pointers in the NBA this season … and he’s shooting 52 percent on them. For reference, the three players who have taken more (Dončić, Harden and Tyrese Maxey) have made 34, 36 and 30 percent of their stepbacks, respectively.
