Dont know if mentioned but...team had 40 ASSISTS tonight.
Zion now has a total of 189 points, and has reached 0.07 on the Baynes scale.
With career totals of 189 points, 69 rebounds, 21 assists and career efficiencies of 72/125 from the field and 40/63 from the FT line in 9 games, Zion is now averaging:
21 points
7.7 rebounds
2.3 assists
57.6%FG
63.4%FT
This is very good stuff. Essentially 21/8/2 on 58%FG. And he's doing it in 27mpg.
Which means his per 36 numbers are:
27.9 points
10.3 rebounds
3.1 assists
Not bad for a rookie!
That's fukt up.
Iverson was a dynamo. Dude was listed at 6'0 but pretty much everyone concedes he was probably more like 5'10, 160lbs, but averaged at least 26 for 10 years straight. 4 seasons above 30ppg.
Underrated passer too. Ben Taylor talks about this in his podcast about the best playmakers ever, and he finds that Iverson actually falls in the top 15 by his metrics; tons and tons of shots created.
And for him to see 2 people. But, the big has to contain him & keep him from shooting a 3. At the same time (the big) has to slide his feet so he doesn't get beat. D Fave, Zion did a great job, Nico did a great job tonight...

This is what this team is capable of and why I get so pissed when we ******** away opportunities.
Zion had more points than minutes for the 2nd time tonight.

From @EliasSports: Since the shot-clock era began in 1954-55, the only other player to do that twice within his first 10 NBA games is Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, among guys to play 15+ minutes in both games. pic.twitter.com/jxVLpzpfWc
Get his act together in what way? What does Hart do so much better that it would warrant him taking Ingram's starting position?????
What I liked about this game is that it felt like Jrue found his slot. He felt like a defensive specialist who concentrates in that and scoring within the flow of the offense. I loved his game tonight even more than against Indiana.
This team hasn't been inconsistent or unpredictable. They're just growing. They've lost some games to good teams but the last time they lost to a team they should have beaten was way back in December.
Good positive energy.
But also, yo mama's fat.
Did anyone catch what Jax got the technical for in the first qtr?
Defensive tech
I appreciate the answer but I kinda knew that. What I'm actually asking is what he did physically and specifically to get it. I ran it back trying to see what happened but couldn't figure out what he did. Its been years since I followed the NBA, so it may be obvious to everyone else but me.
Thanks again.

Who’s your top 5 at rim gravity and top 5 in shooting gravity (ie Steph)?

Is when the defending team spends more than three seconds in the free throw lane (also called the key, the 16-foot lane, or "in the paint") while not actively guarding an opponent. To be considered actively guarding, a defender must be within arm's length of an opponent and in a guarding positionI appreciate the answer but I kinda knew that.

This is what makes the Bucks so hard to defend.Teams collapse on Giannis and you have wide open 3 point shooters.Zion is a good passer already,the Pels are going to be extremely tough to defend.
It's not my personal measurement it's calculated by bb-index, the same site that publishes PIPM and talent grades.
Top 10 in at-rim gravity are (in order), Giannis, Montrezl Harrell, Zion Williamson, Andre Drummond, Russell Westbrook, Clint Capela, LeBron James, Rudy Gobert, Ben Simmons and Anthony Davis.
Top 10 in 3pt Gravity (in order): James Harden, Damian Lillard, Kemba Walker, D'Angelo Russell, Devonte Graham, Buddy Hield, Davis Bertans, KAT, Danilo Gallinari, Trae Young.
Obviously someone like Steph would normally be on the list but he's been out nearly all year.
Thank you very much.
(Aaaand ... I should have realized that)

Precisely. Ergo: "Alvin, play Melli."
That's not an either/or. We all know the team has a lot of young players so you expect a growing team to be inconsistent and unpredictable. However, we do not expect that of vets like Jrue.
But at this point, they are being judged as a plus 500 playoff team and rightfully so. So some of these games they've lost at home have been disappointing.
Since late December we have only lost to the Bucks, Rockets, Nuggets, Spurs (Zion's first game back), Clippers, Celtics, Jazz, and Lakers.......none of these games have been disappointing. Maybe the Spurs game but we looked so out of sorts trying to integrate Zion. So possibly one but more likely zero. Zero disappointing games. Very predictable losses. Hoping for some wins but those would have been against the odds (unpredictable).
Jrue isn't a centerpiece. He's a supplement piece. We have two very much growing and learning centerpieces. It's very hard to be the supplemental piece when the centerpieces are so fluid.
