-Wolves resetting on the fly

New for @TheAthleticNBA : Does rebounding still matter? With the Oklahoma City Thunder and the New York Knicks, we get two very different answers to that question.

The NBA salary cap used to be arcane knowledge meant only for assistant GMs and very few others. Now, it's a booming business — both within the league and outside of it.
I wrote about Larry Coon, the godfather of this entire realm: theathletic.com/4816071/2023…

📽 Before Steph Curry, Reggie Miller was warping defenses with his movement and shooting.
But there was more to Reggie’s innovative game that made him one of the toughest covers in NBA history. youtu.be/jxO9KsZPelE

NBA stat of the day #293:
A wild one today:
We have data for charge and non-charge offensive fouls drawn since 2011
The record for non-charge offensive fouls drawn was JJ Barea with 53 (2011)
Lu Dort broke the record in '23... with 87(!!). That's more than 4 teams 🤯

The conversation today was about how the Nuggets aren’t interesting. Which is bullshit of course. So I put pen to paper.

So @ElGee35 gave Butler the treatment, & the thing that jumps out when watching 10 straight minutes of him is how unhurried he is. All the frantic PLAYOFFS energy around him & he’s still just jump stopping, pivoting & pump faking his way into advantages: youtu.be/vw_OUHDvVkM

It's a turf war in this Lakers-Warriors series. Anthony Davis wants to live in the paint on D and the Warriors need to pull him away from the hoop as much as possible. In Game 3, AD got his way, but the Warriors started to spread him out a bit in Games 4 and 5.

The Bucks, Cavs and Grizzlies aren't in *quite* as bad a situation as the overall 95% series win probability for teams up 3-1. Most teams up 3-1 have home court. They've won 98% of the time since 1984* (119-2). When the team without home court is up 3-1, that drops to 89% (44-5).

When Nikola Jokic is away from the ball and coming off a screen, he becomes one of most unique and effective players in NBA history.
Here's a feature about these actions, which unlock his skill-set and make Denver's offense damn near impossible to stop:
