In tonight's win over the Suns, Victor Wembanyama joined an elite club of players with 40-20 games in NBA history.
The club:
-
29× Wilt Chamberlain

8× Walt Bellamy
-
3× Elvin Hayes
-
2× John Drew, Oscar Robertson
-
1× Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bob McAdoo, Shaquille O'Neal, Willis Reed, Victor Wembanyama
Kudos also to Spencer Haywood (4×), Marvin Barnes (3×), Dan Issel (2×), Julius Erving & Artis Gilmore (1×) who accomplished this in the ABA
Rockets on an 11 game win streak, are 11th in the west right now with a 38-35 record and 1 game behind the GSW.

Who ya got for the future.
Ayton while lackluster on defense his first season, took a huge jump his 2nd one. Bam too faced this, but more as a result of playing behind whiteside his first season.
He’s probably never going to be a good as bam guarding the perimeter, but he’s still damn good at it for a center. I’d argue he’s already/is on the path to being the better rim protector, like a Rudy Gobert with better perimeter defense by a little worse rim protection.
On offense, I honestly don’t know. I think it’s Ayton because his mechanics show potential, he has excellent footwork, and his post game and finishing are pretty elite.
Bam is the better passer, but I honestly can’t think of anything else he does better. Dribble?
So for the future, who is your choice?
The Mavs have been the best clutch team in the NBA this year. If Kyrie was eligible for awards he would be in the running for Clutch Player of the Year. He routinely takes over in the 4th, like yesterday against the Kings when he shot 100% and sparked a run to bring the Mavs back from down 10 to win.
The team's clutch success isn't just Kyrie though. Especially lately, it's because of defense. The Mavs can field clutch lineups with multiple plus defenders along with Luka and Kyrie, like Exum, PJ, and Gafford. PJ has been shutting stars down since he came to Dallas and Exum has been great too, especially last night on Fox.
Compare this to last season when the Mavs had an abysmal record in the clutch post-trade deadline (5-13, 3rd worst in the league ahead of only the Wizards and Pistons) because our best defensive options were Powell, Kleber, Bullock, and Frank.

Is it 60 points because there are 48 minutes instead of 40, or is it maybe even higher because it's tougher to score?
The mods deleted last week's post probably because of the many links to the videos that aren't up on the reddit posts anymore. There won't be any such links on this post, but I'm sure if you want to see one of the videos, enough Googling can get you there.

Warriors, Mavericks, Kings, Blazers, Celtics, SuperSonics, Bucks: 1x

Jermaine O'Neal, Kyle Lowry, DeMar Derozan, Joakim Noah, Roy Hibbert, Chris Bosh, Nick Young, Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shane Battier: 1x
Probably the most significant thing to come out of this week was Nick Young's classic celebration of a missed three. Also Kevin Love's free agency was all the talk and Patty Mills was staying relevant in his own ways.
This is just a pessimistic take at things but if we were to finish above .500 but the warriors keep staying ahead of us we would be the first 11th seed in NBA history to be above .500.
Player | Drives | FTA | FTA% | Pass% |
---|---|---|---|---|
SGA | 23.7 | 4.5 | 19.0% | 37.8% |
Brunson | 19 | 2.3 | 12.1% | 36.3% |
Doncic | 18.4 | 3.6 | 19.6% | 37% |
Cade | 17 | 2.3 | 13.5% | 34.1% |
Zion | 17 | 3.4 | 20.5% | 26.9% |
Trae | 16.6 | 2.6 | 16.4% | 35.1% |
Garland | 15.9 | 1.4 | 8.9% | 46.7% |

Randle | 13.9 | 2.5 | 18.0% | 38.8% |
Thomas | 13.6 | 2.3 | 16.9% | 28.5% |
White | 13.5 | 1.5 | 11.1% | 43.0% |
Maxey | 13.4 | 2.3 | 17.2% | 25.1% |
Booker | 13.3 | 2.3 | 3.8% | 36.0% |
Brunson is currently second in the league in drives per game at 19, second only to SGA at an absurd 23.7, yet his FTA% per drive is only at 12.1 percent. Only players with a worse whistle in the top 10 are Garland and Dejountae. However, Garland seems more intent on driving and kicking, as indicated by his pass percentage. The average FTA% in the top 20 is 15.1% so he's sitting a good 3 percent behind everyone. If you narrow it down to just All Stars in the top 20, excluding Brunson, the average FTA% is 19.5 percent! The guy does not get the All-Star treatment at all.
From watching games, it seems like Brunson gets punished for being so good at finishing through contact. Players are constantly hip checking and swiping across his arm. For all the people complaining about Brunson being a flopper, he should really be embellishing contact a lot more often.
