NBA Season - now 24/25

Does anyone even know what a guard or forward is anymore? I certainly don't.
Compare Luka (a guard apparently) to Tatum (a forward apparently).
Tatum takes 2 x more 3's per game than Luka despite averaging a shot less pg. And Luka outrebounds Tatum by 1 rebound pg also.
Positions be meaningless these days.

@voodoo total rebounds are a meaningless stat in the era of the pull up 3. Most are just an uncontested grab of a missed 3-pointer.
Russell Westbrook was the master of this meaningless stat

Adams would have led the league in rebounding if not for Russ stat-chasing

Adams still leads the league in the most meaningful rebound stat and that’s the O boards.
Averaging 5 per game.
Morant and others get a lot of the defensive boards.

@mariner4life they actually trained for that though. They wanted their ball handler/playmaker getting the rebound so they could immediately push the ball.

i'm not saying there isn't a reason for it, it just means i don't give a shit about the total rebound count

You can see it in the leaders - AD leads the league with 12.7, the lowest pg since Dwight a decade ago
-
yes there is still a loooong way to go but
It's definitely looking like the Celtics v the Bucks in the East.
Meanwhile the West is a crapshoot. no way the table looks like this in another 50 games. But fuck knows who is actually good and who isn't.
Spurs tank is in full swing. on top of the mounting loss streak, i read again Poetl is on the trade table. At this rate we'll be the only team with draft picks.
Oh, the Jazz just scored 5 points in 6 seconds to beat the curry-less warriors
-
Celts offence is actually off the charts right now. They have depth, shooting, defence and two guys that can create and get you a bucket when you need it.

Lol at the Suns
CP tries to score a stat padded layup in the dying seconds. He missed. So Zion gave the crowd a sweet dunk
And the Suns blew up about disrespect. Fuck up you bitches it was awesome.
Also the Pels are a problem

I hate that stupid “disrespect “ bs. Play the clock out, do what you want. If you don’t want them to score again, play some defense. If it’s proper garbage time, let the bench go at it

What I love about the internet is all the videos of the Suns "holding the ball" coming out to make the Suns look like stupid hypocrites
-
My only disappointment in all that was that no one hit CP or Cameron Payne
-
Splash splash - the Warriors bring their A game and get the W against the Celtics. And without their key wing defender Wiggins.
Thought Klay played both ends of the floor superbly. Moving well in defence and much better shot selection.
And check out the Nets game against the Pacers. No KD, Kyrie, Simmons, Harris, Curry, Claxton and they got a very good away win. Nice to see Patty Mills get a start and have a very good game.
-
the Suns are imploding. Did Zion break them?
Well, no, it started before him, but
They have lost 4 straight. And right now they are getting hammered by the Rockets. A week ago they were top of the West.
-
also the Bucks appear to be beating down the Warriors
but i just saw a highlight on the NBA's own instagram page with the most blatant carry you'll ever see. Superstar whistle is so real
-
@mariner4life pretty scrappy game that Bucks/Warriors. Lots of turnovers by both teams and some poor play.
The bigger bodied Bucks getting it done.
And the Suns, 0-4 since CP3’s return. Love it.
