BasketVols in the NBA (Pros)

[Col_Cathcart]

I think the length of the NBA regular season means the games don’t mean as much and the intensity level sometimes drops. I’m not saying nba players don’t play defense but there is a difference in regular season and playoff defensive intensity

There’s also a difference in officiating. They call it a lot looser in the playoffs

Springer got some run for Philly, tonight. 7 minutes, 2 points, 2 boards, 2 assists and a highlight block

Exactly. Anybody who thinks that NBA teams play intense defense every night is crazy--not even close.

Grant has 13(4-4 from 3) at the half vs Chicago.

 

[Lukusw]

Grant finished with GAME HIGH 25pts hitting 7 of 9 from 3 as Mavs beat Bulls!!! He outscored players like Luka, Lavine, Derozan, and Vucevic. Awesome.

Admiral Schofield sporting Tennessee sneakers during tonight’s game against the Lakers. Had a solid last few minutes of the game. Played a couple minutes and racked up 5 points.

No, but some guys do and that's how they stay in the league

 

[Lukusw]

Holy cow, Grant is cooking with the Mavs. 18 pts on 7-9 (4-5 from 3) tonight. 3 of his 3s were clutch 4th quarter shots. He is averaging 15pts 5rebs while shooting 52.8% from 3!

Springer getting 1st half minutes for Philly.

Nobody is enjoying James Harden's absence more than Tobias Harris. He's still not quite taking 13 shots per game (which is more than last year, somehow), but he's at nearly 20 ppg. The % of shots he's taking near the basket is way higher. On Redick's pod, JJ was saying it's because teams are constantly allowing a size mismatch there, and this year, the 76ers are exploiting it.

I'm a Sixers fan and they've given Tobias a lot of crap over the years, so I'm glad to see him getting off to a hot start. There's no doubt that Tobias and Maxey, and the entire team overall have benefited greatly with the departure of Harden! It also helps that Doc is gone!

I don't blame Doc for anything except maybe how he handled Ben Simmons. I don't have a problem with him throwing a player under the bus like he did, but Simmons specifically was way too sensitive for that. Harden is just a problem, period.

Nurse is a better coach for this team, tho. They play D better and do more Morey Moneyball things on the court.

I took Grant to hit 2 threes, get a steal and a block, $4 to win $24. Hopefully, I win by halftime

Hell, that's a great bet

Grant's been good to me, but this is the first time it's an all Grant bet

Halfway there. Need 1 more 3 and a block.

 

[The Dog]

Blocks and steals always get me, but they jump up the odds and I always fall for it. Grant is averaging 0.7 blocks per game, so 2 blocks every 3 games. This will be the third game

Just needed that block. But heck, he played a good game still.

Yeah, he did. I'm on a massive losing streak on single game parlays, all because of blocks. It jacks the odds up and I get caught taking dudes that kinda blocks shot, not the elite ones because of the odds

 

[JelloPuddinPup]

Y'all should turn on the 76ers game. Springer is having a game. Brought a lot of energy in both halves and have brought Philly back from deficits both times.

Springer is +20 in 20 minutes, pretty good, especially when they are losing by 8

 

[The Dog]

JRich has a beautiful alley-oop to Bam on a fastbreak, tonight. Top 10 kinda play, imo. Josh played a lot and well, tonight in Miami's 7th win in a row

Didn't know he was back from his injury yet. Glad to see it.

 

[The Dog]

Springer with 22 minutes, 8 points, 3 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks for Philly in a win against Atlanta, tonight. The Harden trade was good for the 76'ers and Springer, imo

Wanted to say I’m loving these updates.
