I can't walk the Walk, so I may as well talk the talk.

@ClutchNumbers Lauri?

@BlazersRep Very true, his form looks a little off.
If he could get from 33% to around 38% the game will look completely different for him.

@BlazersZone I think that was the best defensive game deni has ever had in Portlands uniforms

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@UofBasketball @KalshiSports @KalshiHoops Shooting 41 percent on 13.5 attempts a night while 69% of your makes are unassisted and the average defender distance is 3ft is bogus

@ClutchNumbers True

I want to address an ongoing issue affecting NBA content creators on this app. Recently, the @NBA has started targeting accounts with mass copyright claims on recent posts, which can eventually lead to accounts being suspended. My account was previously suspended because of this, but luckily, I was able to get it back.

At a time when the NBA is becoming less and less accessible, I genuinely don’t understand why the league would go this route. Why make your product even harder to access by taking down accounts that essentially provide free advertising? It makes no sense to me.

The NBA’s play-by-play highlight feature has also been down for weeks now, making it even harder for fans and content creators to access clips through their website.

To make matters worse, the NBA does a terrible job of posting highlights on its own pages. If you check their accounts, you'll see how limited their content is compared to the amount of games being played every night.

So how exactly are NBA fans supposed to keep up with their favorite teams if they can't afford to watch games live? For many fans, it's through the highlight accounts on this app.

Adam Silver once said, “There’s a huge amount of our content that people can essentially consume for free. And this is very much a highlights-based sport.” He said this while responding to concerns about the rising cost of watching NBA games across multiple streaming services.

I find it extremely hypocritical that the same content fans are supposedly able to “consume for free” is now being targeted with copyright claims and taken down.

The league should take notes from the NFL. They consistently post highlights across their platforms and make it easy for fans to keep up with the sport, even without watching every game live.

Highlight accounts help grow the game, keep fans engaged, and give players more exposure. Instead of treating these accounts like a problem, the NBA should recognize the value they bring to the league.

@PentagamiNBA That Bob McAdoo one feels achievable
Won't be surprised if Wemby or maybe even Chet passes it in the next few years

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@Dame_Time1023 If the blazers manages to split the games 2 - 2 it'll be a good sign

@MaskedInLA Thank God I love Luka
If I was a hater and saw that shot in a game I'll probably stop watching NBA for a few months

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@tjohningtonart @balligami Fair point

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@balligami What is the current longest streak of balligamis?

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@MonkeyDLukai Watched the last game and wondered who is dumb enough to shout "short" while Luka is playing that good.
This makes sense.

@Lakersallthewa3 @MediJo20 13 assists 2 to
His gonna be fine

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@BlazersZone I think he saw the nuggets going under screens and it got to his head, he tried to prove something.
Later in the game he stopped shooting the three and started driving again, so hopefully won't happen again.

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@JoelJoel788 @UofBasketball @KalshiSports @KalshiHoops Hopefully

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@RatioNChill I think he is using the hot streak from three to preserve energy/prevent injury by avoiding driving.
The question is what will he do when an eventuall slump will come - will he keep shooting 13 threes a game or defer to the paint?
But as of right now, he can keep shooting 🤷🏻‍♂️

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@Lakersallthewa3 @MediJo20 Part of it is lazy passes and focusing on scoring, but some of it is new teammates.
A lot of times he is making a pass to where he expect a teammate to be, but the he is not there/not ready for the pass.
With time I think it'll improve and some of the TO will turn into assists.

[NBA fanatic @NBA_fanat1c]

@Justinpinnix Who are the players with the best potential assists conversation?
