@ThaiAirways we have had our flight cancelled from Bangkok to Sydney this week. Tried calling the London office with no success and had no response to our emails. Please could you advise?

Tyler Herro's points per possession and True shooting in clutch moments in comparison to the season. Small sample size but shows how affective he has been in the last 5 minutes of games.

NOTABLE ROBERT WILLIAMS III STATS IN RAPS SERIES

Minutes per game: 17
Points per Possession: 1.89 
TS: 78.8%
11/12 from the field
AST: 1.6
BLK: 1.6

Should Williams see a bump in his minutes?

Valančiūnas has the best pump fake in the game. End of story #NBA #NBATwitter

[True Hoops Aus @TrueHoopsAus]

Not being able to explode over screens has reduced his amount of shots in the mid range (-8% since the return). This decrease has seen an increase in 3P attempts. He has increased his 3PA by 9% but has decreased his 3P% from 36% to 30%.

3/3

DEEP DIVE INTO VICTOR OLADIPO’S RETURN

Since returning to the court we have noticed two key things about Victor Oladipo. Both his quick first step which made him such a weapon in PnR and his elite explosiveness at the rim have not been the same. 

1/3

[True Hoops Aus @TrueHoopsAus]

What I found most interesting is:

He has continued to get to the rim at the same rate (25%, 26%) but there has been a 20% drop in efficiency. This highlights his loss of explosiveness at the rim. He is also attempting 1.25 less free throws per game.

2/3

Blazers look like a completely different team with Nurkic in and Whiteside out. Balls moving and the DHO game is helping to unlock the offence

Really impressive with how Collins has returned. Moving his feet on both ends, running the floor. Can he help the Blazers get into the play in tournament?

Anyone else noticing how often players are stepping out of bounds shooting corner threes?

AN OFFENSIVE LOOK AT THE HEAT VS KINGS

Last night's game struck me as a game of two, the starters and the back ups. So we broke it down:

MIAMI:

STARTERS:
1.10 Points per Possession (PPP)
84% True Shooting (TS)

BACK UPS
0.91 PPP
55.19 TS
