2021 NBA regular season thread

But you also implied he wasn't better by much. That assist production puts him several levels above Thybulle offensively. Dray is 5th in the league in assists, 2nd to only Russ in assists per 36. That makes him much better than average offensively.

You think that Green is an above average offensive player? Cool. Well I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. You may find yourself on a lonely island with that opinion populated almost entirely by Warriors stans.

Where would you put the odds on either team being healthy though? Watching last night's Lakers game (with Lebron out again after 2 games back) and AD getting his lower leg stretched and massaged on the sidelines is not exactly what I want to see. For the Nets, who knows when Harden returns, and if he does how healthy he will be...

Kyrie fined for 'repeated refusal' to talk to media

The Brooklyn Nets and Kyrie Irving each have been fined $35,000 as a result of Irving's "repeated refusal" to take part in postgame interviews with the media.

Sure, that's why I included efficiency. That said, putting that exclusively on Dray's shoulders is exaggerating; the only player on the roster with a positive offensive plus/minus above 0.5 is Steph. At least Dray balances his negative offense with strong defensive numbers to have the second best overall plus/minus on the team, unless you count Payton's 40 minutes played.

I'm always late to these discussions.

Dray plays almost all his minutes with Steph so his plus/minus is going to be close to Steph's no matter how he plays.
These plus/minus stats are often warped by the coach's rotation.

Assists are offense, right? He's 5th in assists IN THE LEAGUE overall, and 2nd in assists per 36. Is that not above average?

Playoff money doesn't impact players making $40M per very much, especially with high ankle sprains and potential achilles issues. They may try to play through them until something blows out, but they will be limited.

I still think Winslow can turn it around with the right team/coach, but he has to want it (and stay healthy).

You think playing with Steph Curry might have some influence on his assist numbers?

Like I said, if you think that Green is an above average offensive player, more power to you. Not even sure our resident homers are willing to die on that hill.

So for coach or the year I’m thinking the top 2 are Monte Williams and Thibs. Thoughts?

I'd add in Snyder
