Aside from the Brett stuff, the dumbest narrative has been laying into RoCo after a poor shooting game. He posts an elite NetRtg because he doesn't need 20 points to be a productive player. Clutch three, followed up by suffocating defense on Dinwiddie and forcing a jumpball after taking a shoulder by Carroll is peak RoCo.

76ers really do a disservice to Ben simmons assists numbers. I’ve never seen a team miss so many wide open shots, not just this game but the whole season.

They are below average, but above teams like Boston, Spurs, Toronto in that department, but regardless this is a take you could only possibly have if it was paid for by the Klutch Sports Group.

Had a great game today, but the dude does his teammates a disservice by his reluctance to shoot the ball. And those instances far outweigh the number of times Redick - our longest tenured pure shooter - misses a wide-open three.

Really needs to work on his shot selection too. He turns down so many wide open jump shot opportunity's to instead take contested off balance fade away's.

The narrative that he isn't a game winner like Mitchell needs to stop though. I can't count the amount of games he's won off the back of clutch steals down the stretch, like he did again tonight.

You got the stats for ‘uncontested’ %s? Not asking in a smartass way, I’m genuinly interested.

We'll take that. Struggled last 2 games yet still managed to win. Impressed with only 5 turn overs. Ben 2 rebounds short of another trip double.

TO was a big stat.
Not good at running stats on the page that Warsaw posted, but it would be interesting to see TO stats in games against above and below .500.

There's probably something somewhere on that, don't think you'll find it on stats.nba or bball ref though.

19-9 when they commit 15 turnovers or less fwiw. Cursory glance at those teams and it probably leans 60-40 to teams sub .500

Yeah it makes sense that the worse the side the less TO we commit. Just need to tighten things up against the stronger sides.
 
i'm like still feeling saint paddys and desperately need some sleep, but had to watch alabama v nova.

Mikal bridges and Colin Sexton are both options w/ Lakers pick. But I ready to stamp my flag in the Mikal Bridges corner today. Unstoppable in the second, stroking it from deep and using his wingspan to control Sexton. He might end up being too good, but **** he's perfect.

Feel like Simmons too often comes down the court and runs a play where he simply passes the ball immediately to a teammate standing still. Since his defender always sags off Bens 1st option should be to drive hard towards the paint and make the defender collapse, and then kick the ball out to a teammate. Would have the defense constantly playing catchup with rotations and lead to more open shots.

Also wish Simmons had a more Embiid mindset and shot the ball more no matter what. Was at 75% from the floor yet Embiid took more shots despite being less than 20%

Been watching Philly all year, and Embiid's reliance on the 15 footer is maddening.

And he needs to tighten that handle.

Shooting 44% from 10-16 feet.. Would have been higher earlier except he fell and hit his hand about 6 weeks ago.. since then his FT% and mid range % have dropped substantially..

I agree on the dribbling, he still gets caught in his own way sometimes and thinks his handle is better than it is.. however his mid range shot is money and I would prefer him taking these shots when available instead of driving crazily to the rim and risking injury..

What team you support btw?

44%? No shit. I thought it would have been mid 30s. Im a Mavs fan so you can see why Im watching a lot of other teams this year.
 
I wish he'd take more of those face up mid range shots, so many times he passes it up because he wants to bully a guy and like stated above his handle is too loose and bad things happen when he dribbles too much. When he's playing calm and in control he tends to take more of them and it leads to him having continuous good possessions instead of the ones where he over dribbles, turns it over and then starts compounding the mistake with more.
