2023-24 Around the League Thread

Look at the players, not the numbers. It hasn’t been done since the 1950s.

All rookie starting five. I saw a headline about it a few days ago.

Spoiler: Answer

Portland started all rookies. The bench consisted of two 3rd year players, one second year player and one rookie. I didn’t see the game or the flow of the game, but it’s pretty good to lose by three. Great effort.

Would have been better if Denver had Jokic playing.

Who was the team in the 1950s? Link to the game? Is it on basketball-reference?

A box score would be nice, so I can see the players.

Ok, so you know everything, you just point out when I don’t tell you what I don’t know.

Here's another franchise that also has a problem with stats.

At least they corrected it.

During all last week, all they could talk about was how Sabonis was going to break the franchise double double streak.

Turns out he wasn't close.

This says 54 since merger. Does he just need one more to get to Lewis? How Domantas Sabonis double-double streak stacks up historically | NBA.com

Except maybe you do know, but pretend not to know?

At this point, I don't like stats which are restricted to single season. It's ok if the streak is consecutive and spans multiple seasons.

Also, merger, pre merger, I don't want to limit it to post merger only. Pre merger still counts.

This says Robertson had 79 consecutive double doubles.

This says 29:

Kings Star Continues Superb Double-Double Streak

Domantas Sabonis recorded his 44th consecutive double-double in the Kings victory over the Lakers on Wednesday night.

The 29 is correct:

This seems to be the most complete list, but it's still missing some numbers.

This is as complete as I can find right now. Hopefully the blanks can be figured out soon. Elgin Baylor and Elvin Hayes are in those blanks, but I don't know the totals.

Wow, you finally told me something before anyone else did!

 

[nuraman00]

After scoring 50 points the game before, Malachi Flynn goes 0/12 the following game.

 

[nuraman00]

Pistons take 39 3-point attempts and 4 FT attempts.

Nets take 27 FT attempts 33 FT attempts.

Cam Thomas (who I've called Kevin Durant lately) has 11 FT attempts.

Still not sure if he earns all of those. As in, I'm still thinking about it, haven't decided.

 

[nuraman00]

Still not much of a differential as this Kings-Clippers game. Still noteworthy though.
