It's all the same to me. I steal those graphics from NBA. They tweet one of them and the other I find in their morning recap article. I was crediting the NBA for the graphics at first but I figured I probably wasn't going to get a cease and desist order telling me to stop advertising their product haha.
I asked because I was thinking maybe the one with yesterday's scores is too cluttered or something. I'm on a laptop but for folks on their phone I thought it might be displaying in a way that is perhaps small and hard to read.

My Celts have played the best halfcourt defense in the league but can't grab defensive boards to save their lives. The other team is bigger and taller and keeps snatching key rebounds right out of our outstretched arms lol.
The Celtics have the best half-court defense in the NBA, allowing a mere 83 points per 100 possessions, per Cleaning the Glass data. The trouble comes with all those offensive rebounds they’ve allowed while not finishing possessions.
The Celtics are allowing 30 points per 100 missed field goals, which ranks 28th in the NBA. For context, the Celtics allowed a mere 18.3 points per 100 missed field goals last season, the second-best mark in the league.
The Celtics actually leapfrogged the Pelicans after Monday night and now rank 29th in defensive rebound percentage. They still have a long way to go to solve their issues on the glass, but the team has all the potential to be a top-five defense if it can shore up that defensive rebounding.
Even with all the extra possessions, the Celtics rank tied for ninth in the NBA with a defensive rating of 111.7.

I'm hoping there's a clerical error, and HOU gets BKN and PHO's draft picks this year instead of next year...

I really didn't like the look of it being next to each other left to right. Image does not open on new screen, so I can'f figure out if it is one image, but if you could, I would suggest splitting it in two and posting in top to bottom, and maybe making todays games graphic bigger. I mean my eyes are getting bad, I of course can still see it on 1900*1080 screen right now, but it looks too small, didn't look good to me, but just so you asked, it would have been fine, not a huge deal.
As Lithuanian, I am interested in Kings Bulls game the most. Hope Bulls win.
Also, I feel I had very bad fantasy draft this year, but I do have Sengun and Lauri, so hope they have big games always.

They do international vs 2 USA teams this year (i know, it sucks...), so first 4 is actually likely to happen.

Agree. As far as the size thing, I just stretch my screen, and it fills it up beautifully.

yeah it works great! If NBA wants to cease and desist you bisme, they will have to fight all us; we give them free advertising here lol
NBA can open its own forum if they want to go through that trouble or kindly F off

Small sample size, but 3-point spamming is at an all-time high in the Association. Let's see if this pace continues.

Utah haven't been tanking so far. At least in the beginning of the season they are trying to win. OKC fans must be happy...
