Atlanta Hawks rank 3rd in the NBA in points in the paint, averaging 52.7 per game.
Chicago has allowed a league-high 54.8 points in the paint per game through 10 games.
The Bulls also rank last in opponent second-chance scoring, allowing 18.8 points per game.

Who is combining the modern shot diet with elite efficiency?
only 8 are currently hitting all three:
• 35%+ of their shots at the rim
• 35%+ 3pr
• +5 rTS% or better
Overwhelmingly frontcourt guys. KAT, Mobley, Jalen Smith, Obi, Pelle, Brazile, DJJ and Matkovic
It's a pretty cool snapshot of the modern frontcourt shot diet. Providing interior pressure without sacrificing the spacing element, while doing both efficiently. All those guys are also hitting career highs in scoring (or close to it)
The surrounding groups are fun too. Steph/Luka have the 3s + efficiency but not the rim frequency (18% and 9% respectively), while Wemby has the rim pressure + efficiency but doesn't clear the 3PA threshold. Ayo is very close to hitting the middle, just missing the 3pr cutoff with a 30.8% 3pr (still an elite blend of rim/3pt shot diet and elite efficiency!)
Guys like Deni, OG, Jaime and Onyeka are optimizing their shot diet but scoring closer to league average efficiency (+0-2% rTS)

Did the Boston Celtics use x’s & o’s to make the matchup vs Jaylen Brown “personal”??? (Film Breakdown)

among 39 NBA guards who have played at least 300 minutes, darryn peterson ranks fifth in deflections/100 (4.7) and fifth in blocks/100 (1.1)
he is the only guard in the top five for both deflection and block rates. already a fearsome defensive playmaker

Jamahl Mosley has to stand up for himself.
He doesn’t deserve to be called a “BITCH!” by one of his players

Exactly. He’s a direct line driver. He’s not good at going left to right. If another guy is the number 1 the defense leans towards that guy and that creates easier paths to the basket for the other 4 players

In 300 (2006), Gerard Butler was initially told to deliver “THIS IS SPARTA!” calmly. He asked Zack Snyder for one take where he screamed it instead.
Afterward, Butler asked, “Too much?” Snyder replied, “Yeah… but it was awesome.”
1) is make a trade for scorer.
If they don’t do that then end of list. Blow it up.
First of all, that was me quoting you.
And no, you’re just setting unrealistic expectations on a guy so you can crush him whenever he doesn’t live up to them later.
JJ is an all nba PF.
He just has to play HIS game.
I think you’re confusing not wanting it with not fully realizing what you are yet. I’m not giving up on a 24-year-old with his physical tools and skill set. We haven’t even seen him scratch the surface of what he could be with the right mentality and aggression.

The hell are you talking about?
Do you watch this team? Anybody that can do anything is allowed to do it on ball whenever they want.
They took the ball out of Trae’s hands and gave it to JJ.
This is the nba. Most teams 2nd options are greenlit. Idk what you mean.
We’ll see. I’m not writing off a guy whose parents just finally let him drive the family Ferrari. He hasn’t wrecked it yet, but we haven’t even seen what it can really do on an open runway with no traffic. 😂

No, you’re totally right.
Jalen just doesn’t “want it”.
He has 1 on 1 skills and he’s just chosen not to use them for years even when the hawks needed him in the playoffs.
You’re right. Idkb.
His age has nothing to do with it.
We know who 90% of the number 1 options are when they’re drafted.
He’s never been a self creating scorer. Hes not a 1 on 1 iso guy. OTD shooting not his thing.
The hawks just refuse to get a primary and let him play his game.
