That's well below NBA average, and it's also off of 10-20 in the first half.Originally Posted by BCR
14/48 now, is effective FG % of 47.
12/28 from 2 is 43% on 2s.
You’re happy with that 3 % against OKC. Prefer a few more to drop, but they are just elite at defense.

This one was overturned on a challenge, but the point is the whistle and flopping in the first place.
Yeah but everyone shoots below average most of the time in playoffs. I’m not saying it’s ideal. Gobert being a non factor offensively is a killer. Edwards is the real culprit at shot selection. Feels like he can get to basket at will if he wanted. Randle abandons the 3 and drives if it isn’t falling. He was 5/6 so he wasn’t the problem. Naz was horrible, but he can’t drive on anyone. He’s a three specialist. Conley too old to get to hoop.That's well below NBA average, and it's also off of 10-20 in the first half.
They shoot top 5 in 3 attempts all year when they really probably shouldn’t, but it’s always Edwards that is chucking 3s when he could get to hoop.
The threes were an awful strategy for more reasons than just bricking shots (they were routinely taking them in a hurry as well). The Thunder by the metrics were one of the best teams in transition all year, while the Timberwolves were actually the worst by the numbers. In the playoffs the Thunder have been by far the best. The advanced stats aren't out yet that I can find, but how many points were set up by long or erratic rebounds off of all the terrible threes? In the first half it was clear that the Timberwolves had a size advantage and could use that effectively to slow the pace of the game when in their half court defense. They held them to just 44 points. In the second half the misses and subsequent transition game basically eliminated that and any chance of them staying in any kind of rhythm.
I’m sorry, but it’s pretty much unwatchable basketball. I’ve seen soccer games with less flopping. The teams of the 80s would eat these guys alive. Yawn.
Omg I can't believeeeeee the knicks choke job 20 point lead squandered in 3 plus minutes. Ball went up off the iron like 8 feet and went in on top of that guy who shot like six 3s even did the reggie miller choke job sign so bumbed
As I remarked when I was watching a few Pacers/Bucks games, the Pacers really looked excellent. I know the Bucks were a mess, but the Pacers didn't just seem to be a product of a bad opponent.
Wouldn't surprise me to see them go all the way this year. You can get +3300 right now on BOL for it.
If anything was proven over the last 2 days, it's that no team is unstoppable this year. Maybe I'll throw a hundred on them.
Why why why why did I forget to bet this?
Yeah they are just better, and the Knicks were good tonight. Good call.

I lost on the Cavs if it makes you feel better.

The only way the Knicks are going to win now is if Christopher Mitchell says they suck have no chance. Thunder vs. Pacers final? The ratings are going to be though the roof!
Minnesota focused on attacking the basket first instead of forcing threes and not surprisingly that lead to less turnovers, more half court defense, and a slow, methodical destruction of OKC in the first half. Look at how quickly the Thunder have punished them for taking a few bad shots in the first couple minutes here.
Indy has been the only team in the postseason to stay focused every game and be competitive.
You aren't seeing them get blown out like all of the other teams on their off nights.
OKC probably wins this series but I can see them getting surprised in the Finals.

In the second half they reverted pretty much entirely to the "fire it in there" strategy of no strategy. It worked out because they were hitting the bad shots at a high clip. With just any real game plan and team discipline they could win the next game and have more than a minute chance in the series.
Their coaching staff is trash, and I don't expect any of that to really happen though. It was lol funny watching the bench players come in for the entire fourth and try to play actual basketball.
