Not enough for Paul + Booker late: Wolves 96, Suns 99
On tonight’s show:
– Going thru the final 2 mins play by play
– An efficient 35 + 13 for KAT
– Game of chaos = poor shooting both ways
– Definitely Ant’s worst game on O, but maybe best on D
– Finch goes with 8-man rotation – 10:39 PM

Been fooling with R a bit recently. This one could use much better y-axis labelling (and per poss data), but it’s the the age-to-age ratios of player scoring/min since 2000. For a ratio to be included, both seasons for a player must > 400 minutes. Enjoy!

I imagine the $250K fine given to the Timberwolves for off-season workout in Miami could be handed out to other teams as well, but maybe they’re more … creative … in how they handle them. Similar to the Joe Smith saga years ago. Just a guess. – 3:57 PM

From 2015 to 2019, the Suns were the NBA’s worst team (with a 113-280 record). Their 10-year playoff drought was the 5th-longest in NBA history.
Now, after their turnaround, rival teams are trying to follow Phoenix’s blueprint and duplicate their success: basketballnews.com/stories/rival-… – 2:05 PM
