Sports research analyst with @OptaSTATS. BYU Statistics alum. NBA, NFL, MLB & some college sports. Jazz, Chargers, Angels, in that order. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Setting up this account as a more sports-centered, professional account. Will most likely just tweet a bunch about the Jazz and the NBA, as well as the NFL and MLB and college sports. #TakeNote
Still think the Jazz need to trade for a real center. Their rim protection & defensive rebounding are non existent right now. I guess the hope is just that our offense is so good it doesn't matter but woof...
The 12 MLB games tonight were decided by a total of 20 runs.
It's the smallest combined run differential on a single day with at least 12 games since August 6, 1989 (also 20 run diff across 13 games).
The Spurs are the only team in NBA history to have:
76 or more points in the first half
30 or fewer points in the second half
...in any game, regular season or playoffs.
Jalen Brunson is averaging 9.3 PPG in the 4th quarter this postseason. This is his 3rd playoff run with at least 8.0+ PPG in the 4th. He would join LeBron James and Kevin Durant as the only others to do so in at least three postseasons over the last 20 seasons (min. 5 Games).
Charles Barkley is the best, man. Great to see them talking about this on such a big show, need more of this if we ever want things to get better for LGBTQ folks in sports
Inside The NBA: While discussing Jason Collins' passing, Charles Barkley: "We live in a homophobic society ... anybody who think we ain't got a bunch of gay players in all sports, they're just stupid."
