Hassan Whiteside's Historic Double-Double
Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside is doing some incredible things this year. Not the least of which is averaging a double-double. “Lots of guys can post ‘ten and ten’ over the course of a season” you say. Well that’s true but can they accomplish the feat while playing part-time?
No.
Except for Whiteside. He is attempting to become the first NBA player in more than a half-century to average 1…

James Johnson's Throwback Dunk
James Johnson's Throwback Dunk #NBA
My love of James Johnson highlights has not been a secret. After filling up the video tape reel (and the box score) in Memphis last year he has brought his talents to Toronto.
In the Raptors win over the Pistons last night Johnson threw one down on Andre Drummond. I couldn’t resist adding this to JJ’s budding archive resembling David Thompson & Dominique Wilkins.

The Blazers Sticky Fingers Big Man
The Portland Trail Blazers "Sticky Fingers" Big Man #NBAstats
The Portland Trail Blazers edged out the Denver Nuggets Tuesday night by just two points. Coach Terry Stotts’ team won the possession battle by forcing two more turnovers than Denver. He can thank big man LaMarcus Aldridge for his team keeping the rock.
LMA became the first NBA player since Carmelo Anthony to take 30 shots while committing zero turnovers.
His ability to get a shot up before…

Why OKC Misses Durant and Westbrook
Why OKC Misses Durant and Westbrook #NBA
The OKC Thunder display Friday highlighted why they miss Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook so much. In a home loss to the Pistons Scott Brooks‘ team made one free throw.
Over 53 minutes and nearly one-hundred shot attempts only Steven Adams would make a foul shot for the home team.
See KD has led the NBA in made free throws for five years straight. In addition Russ has been among the top-five…

Tulo...A Super Fine Power Hitter
Troy Tulowitzki...A Super Fine Power Hitter... #MLB
If you are worried about Troy Tulowitzki performing away from Coors Field, don’t.
Over the last four seasons the Rockies shortstop has hit 36 home runs on the road. He’s averaging one homer every 20 at bats. This is nearly identical to that of teammate Carlos Gonzalez. So far so good.
Using the a broader indicator of batting power we find his Isolated Slugging Percentage at a cool .218 away…

Carmelo Anthony: Five Comps
Carmelo Anthony: Five Comps #NBA
Taking into account player performance over the last two NBA seasons here are five guys who are roughly as valuable as Carmelo Anthony. Numbers included are offense only so for the sake of this post defense is totally ignored.
These are players with similar shooting, rebounding, passing and ball control attributes to ‘Melo:

Authorship is commonly attributed to Thomas Jefferson. While this is possible it is not certain.
NBA History: Best 'Career' Sixth Man
#NBA History: Best 'Career' Sixth Man
Miami Heat center Chris Andersen has never started more than three games in an NBA season. Birdman has played in 69 playoff games coming off the bench in every one. In his entire career Anderson has started ten games. For a guy who has earned nearly $30 million dollars playing a dozen seasons in the NBA this is quite unique.
His career per 36 minute numbers are 11 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks

NBA Draft: When 1 And 2 Become Stars
#NBADraft: When #1 and #2 Picks Become Stars
The odds of the top two NBA Draft picks both becoming hall-of-famers is next to zero (sorry Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker).
Going back fifty years there is only one NBA Draft where both the #1 and #2 overall picks turned into superstar, hall-of-fame level players.
Can you guess which draft that was?
It was in the 1990′s.
Can you guess the two players drafted?
They are both centers.
…..
1992.

Tim Duncan has spent seventeen years in San Antonio. During this time the Spurs have won 70.6% of their regular season games.
The Pop-Duncan combo has averaged 58 wins per year over almost two decades. To put this in perspective only two teams won this many games in the 2014 NBA season (Thunder and Spurs).
Since the 1998 season the only other franchises who won…

Magic's Little Known Triple-Double Achievement
Magic's Little Known Triple-Double Achievement #NBA
We have been told that no one has averaged a triple-double in the NBA since Oscar Robertson*. “The Big O” went for 31 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds per night exactly fifty years ago.
Did you know that Magic Johnson did average a triple-double over his first four playoff seasons. From 1980-1983 he played 48 playoff games and posted a line of 17.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 10.3 assists.

Old Man Ray Gettin' Steals in the #NBAFinals
Miami Heat guard Ray Allen lead his team with five steals in game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals.
Did you know that the 5 steal single-game total is a playoff career high for Jesus Shuttlesworth? His previous high of four steals came nine years ago…with the Seattle SuperSonics.

The Spurs Possession Differential
The Spurs Possession Differential #NBAplayoffs
One big advantage for the Spurs during this playoffs has been their possession differential. Over the last two series San Antonio has done a great job at holding onto the ball and forcing turnovers. The Spurs forced Portland and Oklahoma City into an average of 15 turnovers per game.
The western conference champs gave the ball away an average of only 11 times/game vs. the Blazers and Thunder.…

OKC Thunder: Small Lineup Plays Big
OKC Thunder: Small Lineup Plays Big #NBAplayoffs
The Oklahoma City Thunder have played ten playoff games in 2014. Understanding the sample size is still small we could see flukes in OKC’s production by lineups. But early on there are dramatic differences in Scott Brooks 5-man units.
The Thunder’s most common lineup is Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins. In 127 minutes played through 10 games…
