2021-22 Around the League Thread

22-0 to finish the game, too bad it was against the Rockets, over a 7:31 span, and won by more than one, but otherwise, cool:

Larry Nance with 3 assists in 4 minutes.

Darn Spurs lost a 32 point lead to Boston.

Carlisle has gotten fed up with Cuban and management and stepped down.

Current vacancies are:

Boston, Indiana, New Orleans, Orlando, Portland, Washington, and now Dallas.

Interesting stat.

The time frame predates Doncic, and probably Jokic and Antetokounmpo's best years.

I'd be more interested in the past 3 years, since that would include their best years.

It would also include one great year from LeBron James, when he lead the league in assists.

Have no idea where to put this:

I wonder what the longest one of his scoring history has been held scoreless?


I mean, Karl Malone hasn't scored a point since 2004.

Rodman or Ben Wallace are some good candidates.

I could also see Tyson Chandler doing that. He's the type of player that's good enough to play 30 minutes, yet also not score very much.

On a side note, I never understood the argument some Jazz fans had, that Chris Paul got more assists because he played with Chandler and could throw lobs. Chandler averaged 8 ppg. Boozer averaged 20+. So what if Boozer wasn't the type of player to finish lobs?

He took more shots, and generated more assist opportunities from other players, that way.

There was too much anti-Boozer stuff at the time, combined with trying to defend Deron's place in the league.

There were things I liked about Deron, but he wasn't perfect. On the other hand, neither is Chris Paul. He controls the game too much at times.

Stockton, Nash, Kidd, could control the game, but also keep the defense moving, and keep the ball moving.

I’d like Harden and Simmons to have to stick it out where they are. You pick a star studded team and don’t like it? You quit on your team and get traded to a contender? Please fall though. If it goes through, I’m no longer buying any 76ers gear, ever!

They probably don't need to change something. That guy on the right is smiling, so he must have liked it.

Sacramento Kings last 3 games, with these blown leads (other team took the lead):

San Antonio game reached 19 points with 8:05 left in the 3rd. (3 point win)

Dallas game reached 19 points at 4:03 left in the 2nd. (1 point loss)

New York game reached 20 points with 6:16 left in the 2nd. If Sabonis had made both FTs, it could have been a 21 point lead. (16 point loss).

I've seen games with bigger turnarounds than 36 (New York game), but can't recall a team blowing 3 straight leads of 19 or more.

 

[nuraman00]

New York actually lead by 23, late in the game, so then that makes it a 43 point turnaround. Now that is close to the biggest I've ever seen.

 

[nuraman00]

Indiana's defense must be awful. 3 Pacers combine for 29 assists, and they still lose to the Cavs.

I don’t like Mark Jackson so I agree they dodged a bullet, but I don’t know what bullet they are talking about. My bullet is from a different gun.

It's not from this 15 part gun?
