Random NBA Observations 2019 - 2020

Bucks beating the Pelicans w/ out Giannis by 20+ isn’t being talked about enough.

I know they'd like to get off of CP3's contract but they're a playoff team as is if they can stay healthy. I don't really see them needing to tank cause they already have what a tanking team desires- 12 or more 1st rounders stockpiled and young talent in SGA, Bazley, etc. and they're currently #7 in the West and improving. Making the playoffs is a good thing especially for a small market. Its gonna be interesting to see what they do

Speaking of Bazley, I miss a gang of Western Conference games but how's he looked. I expected his game to be raw but with a ton of upside, just curious how heads that catch the Thunder feel about his prospects since I barely got to see him prior to the NBA besides some scrimmages...but I was impressed by the tools and potential skillset in limited viewing.

Just read that the Cavs leader in assist per game this year is Darius Garland with 2.8 APG

I'm glad that the Warriors are not mentioned like that anymore and no one on their dikk with their boring 3 point shooting. Guess balance has been restored and the NBA is far more watchable and exciting than the last few years.

Wait, what?



How has balanced been restored, where the NBA is far more watchable and exciting from the Warriors and their "boring 3-pt shooting", when teams are taking more 3-pt shots this season than any other season in NBA history?

2019/20 league-average (team): 33.7 three-point attempts per game
2018/19 league-average (team): 32 three-points attempts per game
2017/18 league-average (team): 29 three-point attempts per game
2016/17: league-average (team): 27 three-point attempts per game
2015/16: league-average (team): 24 three-point attempts per game

Teams, on average, are taking nearly 10 more 3s per game than they did during the Warriors 73-win season.

And say what you want about the Warriors, but they're basically the only team that actually makes 3-pt shooting not boring.
