Cavs, Warriors and Pacers are first to cross 300 lineups used. Have to continuously pump about 15 new lineups per game to do so. All underachieving to different degrees.

Nuggets and Heat under 150.

Lose to Celtics without Brown by 45. Shot defense presumably and turnovers.

Lineups at 251 before tonight. 241 dinks. 8 of 10 most used negative.

LeBron's 10+ pt streak is over.

BPM before tonight was -0.6.

Points and rebounds per minute down 40%.

Small sample but...

IF they continue to play Carrington, put him better context. That can could include play with McCollum and Middleton, but that isnt or shouldn't be the future, imo. Play him mainly with Johnson, George, Kispert, Bagley. Maybe Whitmore. Horrible with Sarr. Now (-19) and last season (-13). If can't fi...

Unconfirmed media reports:

"Barcelona is set to sign a new ten-year deal with the EuroLeague..."

"Fenerbahce is ready to follow the same path..."

Foul rate is now just the highest in 18 years compared to season data, down from 40 years.

Budenhlozer, Jenkins or Malone? Or somebody else?

Johnson Coulibaly Kispert Sarr has only been tried 5 minutes. I'd try several variations for 200+ minutes asap. Coulibaly, Kispert & Sarr, no Johnson has been +25 in 44 minutes. Try that too. Trio without Coulibaly has also been good in tiny minutes. Likewise, Sarr, Coulibaly, Johnson, George, n...

On Nov. 9, BRef projected Thunder to win 62% of remaining games. Now 70%. Will likely actually be 80+%. Maybe that projection gets there in a month or two.

Slow roll out has given lots of time for others to get agitated and perhaps act.

Perhaps inevitable, expected. Can't really evaluate actual to another version, except in mind.

Rockets, 2nd on offensive rating, 6 on defense, 2nd overall. 2nd slowest pace. 30th on 3pta rate. 3 top 10 factors, 5 middle. Opponent turnover rate is the closest to a factor problem at 19th. Satisfied? Not everyone is. Amen Thompson's BPM is down 80% from last season. Mainly just go with points, s...

95% win Thunder expected to regress to about 70% for remaining schedule by BRef.
