@NickCRadio He’s gotta show us, Nick. Actions speak louder than words. Since he’s been here he’s significantly cut payroll. That’s just a fact. Let’s see him put his money where his mouth is, no pun intended.
@StoolGreenie We sure the “approach” is even related to the trade? Perhaps it’s about the way the team plays/is built? He said after the year it was “not always analytically pleasing” + his back & forth with Marks on analytics. Maybe the “approach” he’s frustrated with is their play style.
@GoogleMyBiz Having an issue with my business profile. Some reviews written for me by clients were published then disappeared. Also, I wrote reviews for other local businesses (unrelated to my field) that weren’t published. Already submitted a ticket with no luck. Can you help?
@John_Karalis As @AProskauer pointed out above, that’s because BOS & NYK both made the quarterfinals last year and lost. The losers of the quarterfinals automatically play each other. So that’s also predetermined and isn’t comparable to the 22 teams that miss the quarterfinals altogether.
@John_Karalis Yeah, nothing is guaranteed. I’m just pointing out it’s not totally random either. There is a method to how they work it out. CLE wouldn’t be one of the first options is all.
@John_Karalis There’s actually a specific formula on how the NBA determines the eliminated teams. CLE wouldn’t be an option, because BOS already plays them 4X this year. The opponents will be a team they only play 3X (meaning DET, IND & WSH would be the possibilities)
Malik Nabers told us in October he’s been dealing with a groin issue since college and playing through it since then.

@daverichard@matdon460 You said “Jamaal Williams 4/4 inside the 5.” Does that not mean Williams had every NO RB snap from inside the 5? That’s how I read it that no other NO RB had a snap inside the 5, but Kamara did. If I read it wrong, then I’m not sure what else “Williams 4/4 inside the 5” means.
@daverichard They’re kind of the same thing in this case. Meaning, a player can’t log a carry unless he’s on the field for the snap. The Saints had the ball at the 5, snapped it, and handed it to Kamara for a 2 yard carry. By virtue of getting the carry, he was also on the field for the snap.
@daverichard Thanks! Data may be off then w/ Williams 4/4 inside the 5. I had sworn I saw Kamara have a carry near the goal line when watching live earlier, and upon double checking the box score it does indicate at the 2:11 mark of the 1st Q Kamara had a 2 yard carry from the 5 yard line.
@John_Karalis Small detail, but you said “they play the Hornets in one of three same-city series (and their only same-city back-to-back) of the season.”
They have another same city B2B. LAC/LAL on 1/22 & 1/23. Maybe you meant same opponent, but technically LAC/LAL is another same city B2B.
@DanLifshatz@nbastats Just found this right on the NBA site, so my memory served me correctly on the rule. Don’t think this one is gonna get changed, unfortunately. Based on the rule, Knight will get credit for this basket.
@DanLifshatz@nbastats I’m pretty sure the way scoring works in the NBA is if the other team accidentally hits the ball into the basket, which is what happens here, the basket is credited to whoever is closest to the hoop at the time the ball goes through the cylinder. In this case, that was Knight
