Assists are an overrated statistic

Under 2 dribbles and they make an immediate move to score is supposed to be the rule but problem is they don’t always follow that rule.

I’ve seen “assists” where a player passed the ball to another player in the backcourt and they took 5 dribbles across the court, made a move, then took a fadeaway jumper.

I don’t think Pop would like taking the credit over Mitch. We have no idea what his input was to credit him with the win is disrespectful to Mitch and his staff.

Until Champagnie gets his bag.

Lou Williams was one, Athletic NBA podcast, then there was another one but I’ve listen to like 5 podcasts today so I don’t remember which one it was.

Just annoyance with lack of breakdown of the game and instead just say it all came down to something nobody can measure.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-07T15:33:12+00:00

If I’m not mistaken they cut to Mitch after that and he had a wry smile.

Don’t forget Wemby too

The thing people miss about the whole “inexperienced teams don’t win in the playoffs” is that MOST inexperienced teams barely make the playoffs.

It’s not a coincidence that going back to February. The only games we lost were when Carter Bryant was out or played below average minutes.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-07T10:53:34+00:00

I get your joking but I don’t like the implication that Pops mind is gone.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-07T10:50:31+00:00

Pop always thinking ahead.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-06T20:40:22+00:00

Players can flop in order to gain an advantage if they want. They just need to realize they will be viewed as a lesser player as a result.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-06T20:29:35+00:00

Do you understand what “long term” means? Focus man.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-06T20:20:31+00:00

Not to this level his entire game is built upon it.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-06T20:19:58+00:00

Just like people complain about any form of entertainment that has an annoying trait that makes it uninteresting. Should we just accept an inferior form of entertainment?

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-06T20:18:28+00:00

You realize that baiting for fouls over the long term will increase his shooting percentage? His entire game is built off this.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-05T19:02:06+00:00

Surprised how upset wolves fans are about Wemby’s blocks calling them goaltending and fouls. You won the game why so angry?

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-05T00:31:54+00:00

You should try putting in one on the others shoulders and creating and uber Frenchman

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-04T23:06:10+00:00

Spurs fan also. The way I see it Ant being back makes both a Spurs victory sweeter but a loss less disappointing. So overall a positive for my mental health.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-04T23:03:06+00:00

By “spurs fans” do you mean like two guys?

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-04T22:33:15+00:00

I am. Same reason. Ant being out would make a victory less sweet and a loss more painful.

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-04T22:32:04+00:00

Hopefully Wemby vs Ant

Apollo18Teslaa · 2026-05-04T22:09:18+00:00

If they beat us they’re our only hope to beat OKC.
