Tyrese not starting today for the Nets. A minute or two left in the first half, and he still on the bench. Seems like he earned more than that over the last couple games.

Just got in at the end of the third, two assists in about five minutes of PT. No clue why he didn't play at all in the first half.

Newton is on the bench, Spencer does not appear to be, though I could have missed him as I flip around, for the Pacers/Grizzlies game. Spencer did play for the Grizzlies G-League team yesterday and put up 19-3-2, so I assume he didn't travel back to the main team.

Hawk is out vs the Knicks and Clingan is out vs the Mavericks today.

Castle plays the Kings tonight.

Yesterday NBA -
  • Castle: 8 points but 3-12 shooting (2-7 three), 0 rebounds and 1 assist in 32 minutes. Spurs won but rough game
  • Tyrese - scoreless in 7 minutes. Not sure why he didn’t get time as he is fresh off a 30 point game and a decent showing as a starter
  • Newton 1 assist in 2 minutes of garbage time
  • Clingan still injured, Hawkins back on the injury list with his back issues
  • Nets play again today (Tyrese), Pelicans as well but not sure if Hawkins will be ready

Polley with a G League DNP in a 23 point win. Tough
Good day today with Bulls (Sanogo), Hustle (Cam), Remix (Bouknight)

Indeed. But fewer would be hoisted up over better 2 point shot opportunities that might go in.
i doubt that. bad shots have existed as long as james naismith nailed a peach basket to the wall....and they aren't going to stop because the incentive structure is slightly changed

Any thoughts to the much less complex concept of moving the line back?
They already did that. Corner 3s are still short and it isn't far enough. Would need to have the stripe intersect the sideline to end corner 3s. Then it might work.

When they all counted 2, everyone wanted layups and dunks. With modern analytics teams realized a bad 3 is still the best shot. So they just run around hoisting them. It's gotten ridiculous. Time to make the points reflect the degree of difficulty more accurately.

Yesterday NBA -
  • Tyrese - 33 minutes back in the starting lineup. 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 5-12 FG (3-8 three)
  • Hawkins still injured, getting concerned that BJ Boston is playing decently well in a reserve G role
  • Today: AJax, Drummond, Newton, Castle
G League -
  • Sanogo - 8 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks on 3-5. Quiet game
  • Bouknight - 19 points, 6 rebounds on 7-15 (5-9 from three)
  • You’ve seen it already but CAM SPENCER 51 POINTS ON 18-24 (12-15 three) LOLLLLLLLL LETS GOOOOO
  • Today: Polley but he doesn’t get many minutes
