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.”

My favorite gimmick in the nba is Wemby showing us consistently that he can’t play over 30 minutes a game but fans still using a metric that scales up his minutes
The "Middle Class" was a 50-year fluke designed to prevent a communist revolution during the Cold War. Now that the threat is gone, the elites are systematically dismantling it. You aren't "falling behind"; you’re being pushed back into the peasantry.
