Duncan solid again tonight but even with Butler heading for 40 they’re drawing dead against the Bucks w/ Giannis
This always happens when I talk too early
Speaking of
Bucks pulling a Michigan… giving the game away
I can’t read all this gobbledygook
Kyle Lowry may murder Duncan in cold blood in front of 22,000 witnesses
This thing where every year Jimmy Butler is a solid all star in the regular season and the absolute last man you want to see in the playoffs is wild
Lol
Shrieking “this is my ‘poo’!”
Playoff Jimmy is special
Darn, turned this on too late and missed all the fun.
Big difference between giving it away and Butler taking it away
His two one man fast break step back threes were the coup de gras
naively, you’d expect that the Vegas spread pro-rated for the number of minutes left in the game should be the difference between the two teams over the rest of the game.
instead what you see is that the more a team is losing/winning, the better/worse it performs vs the spread. if you’re winning by a lot, you perform much worse than the spread. if you’re losing a lot, you perform much better than the spread. what basketball dorks call “the rubber band effect”.
each box in the plot shows the amount team B will outperform the spread given a point difference and a number of minutes left in the game.
Really happy for Duncan making the most of his chance to play. He’s 13-17 from three in the series…which is insane. Jimmy Butler is in playoff Godzilla mode, but Duncan is having himself a series too.
no Bulls fault
that photo is intense!! wow!!!
Jimmy Butler @ Bulls was literally Michael Jordan Jr.
