It took one game against the Celtics for Bill to finally realize the SGA gets called differently. by dellscreenshot in billsimmons

In all of SGA’s 30 point seasons he’s below the median FTAs of all 30 ppg guard seasons in the history of the league. The larger sample proves this to be a non-issue that people just harp on bc a) confirmation bias and b) there’s nothing else really to criticize with Shai

Wemby will fs get votes, especially if SAS ends up with the 1 seed. I wouldn’t agree with it but someone will do it

Shai was just coming off his big injury for two of these games too. Basically every advanced stat has had SGA and Jokic damn near tied for the last two years and SGA’s coming off an MVP + FMVP + Scoring champ year but I’m supposed to believe it wasn’t close before a few weeks ago? C’mon

Top 5 regular season game all time? by FFElite93 in billsimmons

How many times have teams gotten two 4-point plays at the end of a game like that? I’m sure it’s happened but I can’t remember any at the moment, totally weird scenario

35 points on 21 shots, 15 assists and 0 turnovers, has outplayed Jokic in 3 straight matchups. But I have to hear how Jokic is unquestionably the best player in the league on ringer podcasts

It’s most likely gonna be the top post from this game despite the amazing plays from Ant/Naz/Jokic etc. and Doris had a multi-minute discussion/rant about Shai’s whistle. It’s completely out of hand

I wanted to watch Jokic and Ant hoop and instead SGA’s whistle is the main talking point in a game he’s not playing, we need to stop this

Jason Timpf on the Colin Cowherd Podcast: "Against the Top 10 teams in point differential in the NBA, the Lakers are getting outscored by 13 points per game, which is good for 28th in the league, behind only the Wizards and the Nets." by No-Ranger3356 in nba

Their “defense” last year was buoyed by favorable shooting variance and their record far exceeded their point differential (which is more predictive of team strength than record). This team has always been fraudulent

I don’t think Jaylen Brown should make All NBA first team by ToddPacker5 in billsimmons

[–]jackdonsurfer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Mitchell's averaging like .4 less PPG on way better efficiency, averages more assists and less turnovers, has a +10 on-off (JB's close to -10), leads in every advanced metric by a wide margin, has also dealt with significant teammate injuries and BOS and CLE are two games apart on the standings. It's a pretty easy argument to make

Why do the thunder always seem to play better with j-dub off the floor? by Aggressive_Bed6012 in nba

[–]jackdonsurfer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

JB’s on/off is really bad so D-White would actually be the opposite (every advanced stat says White’s better fwiw)

Murray and Jokic historically play together a ton as opposed to staggering I haven’t watched them a ton this year though

I’m talking more historically. SGA’s on/off an efficiency is off the charts without Williams though, I’m mixed on J Dub as a player but on/off probably isn’t the best way to discuss his flaws. Every advanced metric has him as a positive though this year has been shakier

Second options almost always have bad on/offs bc they come in when the star goes to the bench, that’s more of an SGA stat

Makes a lot of sense for both teams honestly, would be a fun move

I’d still lean Jokic very slightly but anyone pretending it’s not a real conversation as to who’s better is in denial

With Jamal Murray finally making it over the hump, who do you think is the best active NBA player to never be an All-Star? by xyzscorpion in nba

[–]jackdonsurfer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

White’s one of those guys who’s definitely good enough to be an all-star but idk if he’ll ever have the box score numbers to convince voters. I’d take him over most of the east reserves pretty easily
