Booooo! Was heartbreaking.
Iām not an accomplished sports better, but kinda like OKC to title at 20-1. Young teams fail in the playoffs blah, blah, blah, I donāt care, like no young teams have three dudes as good as them and all three of them are killers.
All three are above 54% from the field. Outrageous.
What in the world is an Onuralp Bitim
It would be nice redemption for somehow failing to ship with Durant, Westbrook and Harden.
Please, nba gods, keep our two slender kings healthy. We deserve 15 years of them going at each other.

Itās the last highlight for me. Heās beaten a bit, on his back foot, but still blocks the step-back jumper of a 7-footer.

Iām sure thereās advanced stats on this that I donāt have access to, but the Spurs seem to recover a high percentage of Wembyās blocks. Not all blocks are equal, obviously, if it goes out of bounds or right back to the offense, the value is less.
-Spurs recovered all 5 of his last night.
-His 10 block game, they recovered 9. The 10th went back to the shooting player and he was immediately blocked again. Iād be curious if thatās ever happened before - 10 blocks and 0 points during those possessions.
-in the 5x5 game and the near 5x5 game, in both games his team recovered 3, one went out of bounds and one the shooting team recovered.
I watch most of his blocks thanks to the way nba.com allows you to watch them back-to-back-to-back. I could be imagining things, but he seems to retain possession more than other shotblockers.
Without watching videos of his blocks, I wonder if itās because Wemby doesnāt have to really swat at balls to block them because heās so ridiculously long. He can just stick a hand up or jump a little and he gets a block without the ball flying away.

Doc has turned around the Bucks defense. Offense has taken a hit, but itās improving as the players get used to everything. And with Giannis, Dame, Lopez, and Middleton (when healthy), the offense will work itself out.
Still canāt wrap my head around the Wolves defense. Feels like itās been so bad for my entire adult life and now theyāre dominating this year.

Yeah they are miles ahead of the second defense. Itās impressive.
Cavs have really fallen off since the all-star break. Coinciding with the return of Darius Garland.
10% Celtics.
Harden? Gotta take a serious discount that accounts all the games he doesnāt want or isnāt fit to play (out of choice, not injury).
I do see quite a few players below harden I would rate above him.
