They booed Kawhi at the Rams game today, for one everyone who was arguing he’d be converting the Los Angeles faithful.

They’d probably boo Santa too.

Maybe that's how Santa makes sure he has enough batteries for all the toys- attend a game in Philly in November and get announced to the crowd.

I thought the same- helping bad FT shooters would maybe more likely "make the first it counts for all, miss it and you shoot the others".

Lowe was on the Jump yesterday and he mentioned some research that suggests players are more likely to make the second than the first, and that you'd see FT% plummet.

Feel like Giannis always misses the first and makes the second.

Found this neat little tool.

Former NBAer Kevin Martin is part of an ownership group buying into NBL team Brisbane Bullets. They are the team LaMelo is playing for next season.

That is great. I would have sworn BUCKnation was right.

The answer is yes. You guys, it's almost time for me to tell you if you should bet on the over or under!

On a not too unrelated note, Giannis said he will test free agency after this season. In my 2K20 league.

This is excellent. I haven't dug into this tool, but I have always wondered about player averages on and-1s vs. shooting 2 (not just with Giannis, but also specifically with him). It's interesting to see how much higher it is, especially in 2017.

How serious is the Paul George injury? Totally missed that but shoulder surgery for a shooter seems horrible.

Said he's 85% but had to get both shoulders worked on.

“Magic rebuff all Johnathon Issac trade inquiries” is so funny.

Kevin Martin would've been much more suited for today's NBA

Peja.

My god he would have scored 25,000 points in todays NBA. Bloke still hit threes at 40% in his last season.
