im depth analysis of westbrook s rebounding from reddit. OP claims it is stat padding. what do ppl think?

Same as the Nets did with Jason Kidd. As Androslav said = bigs box out, Kidd gets the rebound so he can start the transition play with the ball in his hands. Nets were the top transition team in the league during that period. Also, some of their bigs were good at boxing out but not good at grabbing rebounds (Jason Collins, Krstic) so it made the best balance of Kidd's rebounding vs not so great big men. Apparently, OKC only 13th in transition scoring and they do have good rebounding bis so not the same.

Kanter fractured his arm by punching a chair today.

At least he didn't bang his head on the doorway or slip in the shower.

I have Kanter on my fantasy team.  That's not going to help matters.

Many thanks on Who and Androslav for their replies on the reddit. Androslav's detailed response in particular was very helpful.

It does make sense indeed to have Westbrook touch the ball first and storm to the offense. The article's choice of title seems like clickbait now.

This is ten days old, apologies if it has already been posted.

There is a three minute video of Olajuwon and Embiid talking about each other.

They don't say much we did not know already, but there is some nice footage showing them doing similar moves (and Embiid mentions that his first coach made him watch repeatedly a tape of Olajuwon plays).

For his part, Olajuwon seems genuinely impressed with Embiid and says that he sees himself in him. Given that he is a no-nonsense type, this is a nice compliment for a rookie center.

So as "punishment", Butler and Wade won't START on Friday and will come off the bench.

Things looking really good down in Chicago.

I was watching the Bulls game during our breaks. Score now is 99-87 for Miami. And that is Miami without Whiteside.

Some quick remarks. Bulls D was a mess. Dragic could go anywhere he wanted.

Their offence was bad too.My impression from this game is that their players do not know their roles, and they often 'freeze' at the offence.

Rondo is not helping much. He is slow, rarely drives to the paint, and is dribbling waiting for someone to cut and try a spectacular pass. Still has a midrange shot, but his game is too predictable for the defence.

Wade was good, but he plays on his own. He still posts a lot, which is impressive for someone his age.

Overall they looked unmotivated, and I would not be surprised if they have locker room issues too. Hornets and Bucks (the teams right below the Bulls in the standings) play with  more energy and are by comparison a pleasure to watch.

I wonder how many of these problems come from their bench: no role distribution, messed up defensive rotation, poor psychology.  I never thought much of Hoiberg tbh. What do other people think of him?

Yeah, that's his second 50-point triple-double.  First one to do it twice in a season.  (Once is ridiculous enough.)

Rondo had a nice game 13pts (6-8), 7reb, 7 ast, 3 stl.  Wade was 6-17 and Butler was 1-13 shooting.  If you're going to complain about your teammates publicly, you better bring it the next game.

Their offense has been awful to watch all year. Slow as treacle.

If their defense even slightly slips and they lose the effort on that end, they dont have the firepower or shooting to overcome that.

Stats don't do it justice...

He was unreal tonight, Sixers had no answer until the end somewhat when they went super small. He ate Saric and Ilyasova alive.
