The ‘MVP’ sits out against Utah @ Utah, a pretty decent team at home, and OKC still blow them out by 40+…
Meh the Knicks wiped the floor with the Jazz a few days ago and I am sure the other 4 or 5 good sides would blow them away. They only have 8 wins on the board.

Utah away from home are an embarrassment. Utah @ home are a different beast.

At home they’ve beaten Houston. And half decent teams like Chicago (when they were on fire), Phoenix, LAC.

Away from home they’ve been pounded by teams like Charlotte, Minnesota, GSW, Houston, NY.

They had no Lauri… yes they blew out a below average team without its best player

This does not make Shai any less deserving

That's messed up about Franz, hope he's OK.

That team spent a decade in the wilderness, deserve their time in the sun. Way too many injuries generally.


When you have the ball like 5 times more then any normal player this isn’t much of a accomplishment.

Guy gets wrecked by the ref

Good rule of thumb is to divide the number of free throw attempts by the number of two point field goals attempted. Not a perfect metric, but much better than raw counting stats.

Luka and Austin Reaves average about 1:1. In fact Reaves shoots more free throws than two point attempts. Avdija and Harden are in this exalted territory too. Statistically, historically, it's very difficult to justify.

By point of comparison, Zion goes at 0.7:1, Giannis goes at 0.61:1, Jokic at 0.59:1. IMO, it's the big guys who miss out more. Just my two cents.

He might not get as many as a few others I’m just not going to cry about a guy who flops and shoots a lot of FT’s because other players flop a bit more and shoot a bit more FT’s
 
Better news for Wagner no ACL just a sprained ankle but who knows what time frame for him he is made of glass can’t stay healthy for long enough which is a shame.
