- So Jar Jar Binks has no qualifications to be a Senator, but gets fast-tracked to give the Chancellor emergency powers. He’s allegedly clumsy but never seriously hurt and takes out several opponents with Jedi-like fighting techniques. Think: What’s going on in Gungan City?
- Per Basketball Reference, the NBA as a whole is shooting its worst 3PT% (34.8%) since 2003-04 and its second-worst this century despite an all-time high in attempts per game
- Here’s the full quote on Ime Udoka today discussing the Celtics’ monthly players-only/player-driven check-ins. Pretty neat insight on coaching
- This fake spin move from Tiffany Hayes was so nasty, and then the kick-out, the ball knew it had to go in whew
00:00 - The overall Celtics offseason trend of adding bigger, longer players at all positions is significant. - Dalano Banton, 6-9 G with 6-11? wingspan - Jordan Walsh, 6-7 F with 7-2 wingspan - Oshae Brissett, 6-7 F with 7-foot wingspan - Kristaps Porzingis, 7-3 C with 7-6? wingspan
- Tiffany Hayes!!! Off the dime of a weak side read from Kelsey Plum and Kate Martin with the heads-up defense to start the break
00:00 - Replying to @ethman43I’m only gonna speculate but some potential factors: - new ball - COVID disrupting rhythms - COVID wearing players down - More players this season = more good shooters and more bad ones Last year tied for an all-time high 36.7% so I’m leaning options 1 or 4
- Jaylen Brown "bad pass turnovers" per game according to PBP Stats: 2020-21: 0.72 2021-22: 0.85 2022-23: 0.63 2023-24: 0.29 Only 5 such turnovers so far this season. The passing and decision-making really is looking better IMO
- According to the ESPN broadcast, six players have ever fouled out of a summer league game, and it’s an iconic list: -DeMarcus Cousins -Greg Oden -Thon Maker -Diamond Stone -Andrew Bogut -Andrea Bargnani
- Non-guard leaders in total passes per game since the All-Star break: Nikola Jokic - 66.3 (2nd overall) Scottie Barnes - 56.9 (10th) Domantas Sabonis - 54.8 (14th) Pascal Siakam - 53.9 (17th) LeBron James - 51.2 (24th) Intrigued by the two Raptors here
- Alrighty we’re on that personal news wave. I am PSYCHED to say I’m sliding over to a full-time sports producer role at @BGlobeSports for a bit starting mid-July!!! I’m so excited and grateful for this opportunity. Sorry but I’m gonna be sappy and thank some folks, here we go
