Kyle Kuzma will try to bring some more life into the Milwaukee Bucks offense.

How do you think he will fit in?

Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis are now teammates on the Mavs.

How do you see them working together?

How good will the new look Kings be?

It's an odd trade because we've seen DeMar DeRozan and Zach Lavine on the same team... last year.

Maybe Sabonis can be the factor that makes it work.

How will these two complements each other?

I think the offense should be dynamic and have solid spacing.

My worry is the defense.

Here are the All-Star vs barely non-All-Stars in defensive stats.

What stands out to me is Wemby!

Some more context about the All-Star selections.

I think this one makes the Trae Young and Domantas Sabonis choices more shocking.

What do you think?

Here are some numbers behind the All-Stars and almost All-Stars.

What do you think of this?

I think Trae and LaMelo probably could've made it over Dame and Herro.

Who did you think got snubbed?

The Grizzlies play the Rockets tonight.

We looked at the Rockets yesterday, so we'll look at the Grizzlies today.

It's an interesting balance with some players who get to the rim before jacking 3s.

Who do you have in tonight's matchup?

Players on offense and defense this year!

This is offensive points per possession vs what they allow on defense.

There is bias since good defenders guard good scorers.

What stands out to you?

I didn't expect Trae Young to be in bad offense, good defense!

Here are the shot tendencies for the top players on the Houston Rockets.

It's not a team that obviously would work in 2025, but they are the #2 seed in a stacked West.

What's their ceiling this year?

Checking in again on each NBA team's Offensive and Defensive ratings.

OKC still stands out as the best defensive team. Cleveland still holds the best offense.

It's a rough time for the Wizards.

The Bucks play the Trailblazers tonight on TNT!

It will be a matchup of Damian Lillard against his old team and former backup, Anfernee Simons.

Who do you think will get the better of this duel?

#NBA #Basketball #Bucks #Trailblazers

[Stepback Statistics @stepbackstats]

Who is the most and least efficient on good looks?

The best is Zach Lavine, which is important to consider coming into trade season.

The worst is the #1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher.

What stands out to you?

The league has changed since 2003! How has LeBron James' shot selection shifted as a result?

Here are his shot tendencies in year 1 vs year 22.

The Clippers play the Suns tonight!

The marquee match is Kevin Durant vs Kawhi Leonard, but we'll take a look at Norman Powell and Devin Booker.

Who do you think is having a better year?

These are the top four players who weren't voted in to start the All-Star game.

Given a blind resume, would they start?

Fun fact: Domantas Sabonis finished 9th in the West frontcourt.

[Stepback Statistics @stepbackstats]

Who is the most efficient on low-quality attempts?

The answer is Kevin Durant by a healthy margin!

Another way to think about this is who the best bad-shot maker is.

The #Nuggets brought in Russell Westbrook this offseason and people wondered how it would work with his lack of shooting strength.

Now they are on a roll.

Why do you think Russ is fitting in so well?
