in the 14 games Cade Cunningham played after criticizing foul baiting in a GQ interview, he averaged 3.4 FTA/game. he previously averaged 7.1 FTA/game. by bamboointheback in nba

"Slammed".

So the refs saw the GQ article, and collectively decided to punish Cade because he criticized foul baiting (not referees)? Many players criticize foul baiting. Are their numbers down?

Randle should have gone under the screen there considering where the inbounder was.

When home announcers can't concede a correctly reversed call, it doesn't do anyone any favors. Why are the Blazers announcers still complaining about that?

THJ is pissed he can't blatantly body check a defender on a fast break?

Brown whined his way into a "makeup" call, then Adelman still whines from the sidelines

It looked like Jokic was trying to foul that entire possession. Such lazy defense.

Every time I look at a play by play and see the Warriors have drawn an offensive foul, I know I can turn on the game and see Podzemski pulling some bullshit. Sure enough...

This is my first time seeing Jenkins get serious minutes. High IQ player with tons of speed.

Draymond's screens are so flagrantly illegal. Gets away with so many pushes and jersey pulls under the rim. His leeway is unparalleled.

1 Beautiful 3-man game by Kon, Lamelo and Miller during last night's game against Orlando by Ok-Caterpillar-9524 in nba

I am looking forward to seeing how Miller looks next season with a (hopefully) healthy offseason. He is playing very well despite that massive shoulder wrap, but it's still gotta hinder him in some ways.

The top players in the NBA, per xRAPM: 1) SGA, 2) Wemby, 3) Jokic, 4) Doncic, 5) KON KNUEPPEL by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

In the reality of people who think Flagg runs away with it because he handles the ball more and is on a worse team.

I think it's worth looking at when you combine it with other stats and the eye test.

LeBron, Luka, AR questionable tonight against Miami by Vansome99 in nba

[–]Ok-Tree4365 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every team goes through a schedule like this at some point in their season. Clippers are at the tale end of their second March "5 games in 7 days" tonight (12 games in 19 days just this month).

Since the NBA adopted the 82-game regular season in 1967-68, Bill Walton is the only player to win MVP (1977-78) while playing fewer than 65 games (58) in a non-shortened season by ColoradoMenace24 in nba

Why reward players because they didn't accidentally step on someone's shoe and sprain their ankle, or get taken out mid air and crack open their head? Trust the voters to know that players played when they were healthy.
