TNT's average viewership is down 40% since 2011-12. While ESPN’s viewership is down about 20% in that same time frame. "Ratings disaster of a season, with the NBA’s most-watched game of last week trailing golf, NASCAR and wrestling." (h/t @AmicoHoops / The Athletic)

In 1988 Michael Jordan averaged: 35 PPG 5.5 RPG 6 APG 3 SPG 1.6 BPG On 60% TS, when nobody on his team shot 3s. Best shooter was Paxson who attempted 1.2 per game That level of scoring without spacing is wild, and he wasn’t even in his prime.

So the NBA just opened a tampering investigation on the Bucks. Punishment for tampering could mean the loss of picks. Bucks are trying to acquire Jrue Holiday with several picks. What if the Bucks lose the picks they’re using for Jrue...and the Holiday trade can’t work?

Luguentz Dort has been one of the most impactful defensive players this year. In his NBA minutes, Dort has saved the Thunder 177 points at an incredible rate of 22.6 PS/100. For comparison, Matisse Thybulle has saved 16.8 PS/100. Thunder got a steal in Dort, on a 2-way deal.

James Harden doesn’t get enough credit for being one of the top shooters in the league, but he is. His 3PT% isn’t the highest due to the degree of difficulty and volume of the shots he takes, but he is a top shooter in the league without a doubt IMO.
