MODERATORS
After the last 20+ years, I'm shocked to see that much red across the board for the Spurs.
You can easily guess when Jokic subs out.
Hopefully it’s not as egregious going forward with Murray back now
Pacers and Bucks being the only two who improve quarter by quarter is interesting. Not sure if it signals much but I would have thought there would be more than two teams who happen to be like that
You can add the Lakers to that. I guess it's natural for scoring to distribute over the quarters since being behind incentivizes playing your best players for longer and hustle in general. In addition, if you know your opponents are slow starters for example, part of the game plan might be trying to exploit that which would make it a self enforcing feedback loop.
Jesus Christ pistons. Why am I even a fan?
I really thought some of the ex-Thunder FO and Monty would pull it together. Sorry brother.
Me too. I didn't expect them to be good but fuck I sure as hell didn't expect something akin to a g-league team. It's putrid.
The Suns just collapse in the 4th Quarter. I feel like it is probably mostly due to a lack of depth with Beal and Booker missing significant time.
That Boston starting five net rating 👀
Interesting. Basically, bad teams lose Q1. Noted. EXCEPT, Philly, Bucks, and Lakers.
