It was Game 49 of the regular season and the OKC Thunder were winning end-of-quarter situations where the opponents had the last shot.

How is that even possible!? They (and others) stick to one defensive principle, which has changed NBA basketball.

@neilpaine.bsky.social Neil, hope all is well.

Enjoyed the "too many 3-pointers" piece. It made me think of smth. Whenever I do some Synergy work, I frequently land at the "Spot Up Three > Spot Up drive" quandary. Yet, obviously, those drives frequently are the ones to create good Spot Up looks.

@sportinfo247.bsky.social Hey Mike! Hope all is well.

Was rummaging around on @basketball-reference.com and found this boxscore. Does that amount of BLKs for Seattle look right for you? Would be an NBA record then.

Buddy Hield's fit in Steve Kerr's offense has been seamless.

The sheer gravity of him gave fits even for the league-leading OKC defense. Just like Steph, he doesn't even need to touch the ball.

Golden State basketball. Still beautiful.

I don't know how to start this...

Suppose we could reach deep in the YT vault and say Happy Birthday to Chris Childs. Anyone remember him blowing up on the Nets after the Kenny Anderson trade?
