What an unrealistic photo. How is Ayton much smaller than Booker?

Irwing is the 9th player in nba history to record 50/40/90.. he needed to shoot perfect from three to achieve the feat and shot 3 for 3. CP3 was pretty close to at 49.9%/39.5%/93.4%

Clippers losing (impressive tankjob) is good for us any way you look at it. If GS pulls it off (and they have a good chance in a 1 game series) we have a great road to the WCF. I get being scared of GS too, but this is nowhere near the championship team. No Thompson/Durant, and the supporting cast other than Green is a bunch of jabronies.

Is the 50 for FG% or 2PT%

Overall, but it should be 2pt%, because someone who shoots a ton of 3s, say, at 43%, is killing it but it is hurting their overall FG%.

So low volume 3pt shooters who can hit 40% who are also good from 2 have a better chance.

Curry, for example, shoots over 57% from 2 and over 42% from 3, but he takes more 3s than 2s, so his overall FG% is 48.3%. If he simply shot fewer 3s, he'd hit it...91.8% from the line too.

Why doesn’t Ayton, the biggest player, not simply eat the other players?

100%

They should be respected but they aren't a title contender and they are exploitable.

Exactly! Maybe if he ate other players he would be simply unstoppable talking about Wilt unstoppable type of player.

That's why you gotta look at eFG%, which adjusts for 3s, or TS%, which adjusts for both 3s and FTs.

And ya I know the 40/50/90 thing only looks at basic NBA stats. Basically all records only use basic stats.

Yes, that's what I usually use...usually TS% when assessing efficiency. I just think what people call the 50/40/90 club is flawed.

We all have hopes for DA. Not all of our hopes involve him voring Nikola Jokic, but that's what makes these boards interesting!

As a lifelong Suns fan I’m still calling collusion on this Lakers 7-seed crap.

Random but the only reason I'm not buying this is because the Sun is streaking into the ground. Anyone know why this is?

I'd imagine so. I've been getting games with Youtube TV. Everything should be local going forward. Worst case, it's so easy to find streams these days that, if these TV companies are going to be a-holes about letting us watch, I'm just going to find a streamer instead.

Yeah all the games from here on out will be one of 3 places, TNT, ESPN, NBA Tv
