Alan Butts served over 19 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. His conviction was recently overturned and last night, he left the courthouse a free man. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to help such an amazing person regain his freedom.

If Wemby had gotten one more assist last night, he’d have had back-to-back 5X5’s on a b2b in which he played less than 32 minutes in each game. Only 15 other players in history have ever gotten a 5X5

One of my fav Bill Russell stories is this anecdote from 1964 All Star game. Russell wanted the all stars to strike to force the league to provide a pension plan. Wilt wanted to play the game. They agreed to take a vote and striking won 11-9. The NBA caved 15 mins before tipoff.

Maxey just became the 14th player in NBA history to put up 33 pts, 8 assists, and 4 blocks with fewer than 4 turnovers. The other 13 are all Hall of Famers or locks. He’s also the 2nd youngest on the list, older than only LeBron.

@godspeedbrother Yeah but she understands the macro-effect of Cleveland adding a floor-spacer to an offense that was too congested with the double-big lineup. She understands that high 3pt volume at a solid % is more important in many contexts than a very high 3pt%.

I’ve been sitting on a take and idk if it’s exactly correct: Small ball hysteria peaked in the summer of 2018 (GSW rings, Harden MVP), and since then 4 of the 5 champions won in the playoffs by primarily being bigger than their opponents across the board.

@DiscoPaco I think casual NBA fans underrate Seth’s overall ability and Steph’s volatility/variance in play. So it wouldn’t surprise me if Seth outplays him one game, but I could see a lot of fans losing their minds over it.

So the tough thing is we probably wouldn’t see Poole’s emergence, and LaMelo’s usage would obv look substantially different… but at the same time I kinda just trust a team led by Draymond and Steph to optimize everything. And there’s a chance the offense could look transcendent.

From 2015-2018 I was an advocate that Draymond’s defensive impact was very underrated. But now adding what GSW has done on D the last 2 years ( #5 last year; #1 this year), I almost feel like it’s fucking impossible to overstate he does on that side of the ball. He’s unbelievable.

“Small ball” was really about scoring w > skill + shooting w/out getting killed on defense, and at the time that came from guards + wings, so it was positioned as an “either/or” with size. But then big players counter by improving those skills and the scales shift back a little
