I wonder if some players see Gobert as the indirect reason why they had to put up with the Orlando bubble.

Is there a reason it has to be more complicated than maybe he just isn't that fun or pleasant to be around? I have to assume some dudes in the NBA are just sort of lame and people don't like them much.

I fear that the Bulls will end up in the play-in tournament. And then be eliminated by Kevin Durant/Kyrie Irving with a dual 50+ point game. From 1 seed to out of the playoffs in a matter of weeks. It just makes sense.


LeBron James isn't a pure scorer? Lakers' Carmelo Anthony explains why
https://www.yahoo.com/news/lebron-james-isnt-pure-scorer-223828724.html

NP = PTS - FGA - .44 * FTA

I want to see an update where and-1 freethrows are not counted since they are a bonus and do not consume a possession. Also technicals.

e: To be clear, I mean not counted in the "-.44 * FTA" part, the points should still count.

Zogo posted:

Rose was a lot closer to LBJ in 2011 than Ja Morant is to Jokic. Jokic has nearly double the WS of Morant.

But Jokic is not aesthetically pleasing and will be punished.

The .44 accounts for the and-1s/technicals. It's been checked before and the correlation between the standard formula and a more granular one was over .99

Yeah its a minor effect so I don't doubt it has a strong correlation but if I may be pedantic for a minute, it doesn't really account for it.

Player 1 hits a 2 point shot. 1 net point
Player 2 hits a 2 point shot, gets fouled, misses the and-1. 0.56 net points

Those two events are equivalent but accounted for differently.

Lockback posted:

Right, but then a guy gets fouled taking a 2 and misses, hits both shots and gets 1.12 net points. The latter is more common and the rate of which both of these things happen normalize if you use 44%. The point Zogo made was if you do the box score adjustment of 44% or actually track the shots, they are within 1% of each other in TS%.

Yeah we're on the same page, no worries.

Is it just me or have we had a lot of players scoring 50-60 points in the last couple weeks? I guess everyone is getting tired of playing defense. LeBron and Irving twice, KAT and Durant. Jokic and Curry got close too.

What’s the most 50+ point games in a month?

Also Tatum. But yeah, its been a banner month so far.
