The Cavs analytics team built a custom NBA Jam cabinet with all the players replaced by members of the Cavs front office, like with individual graphics for each front office member, starts at like 23:00.

Wasn't aware the cavs even had an analytics team. I thought it was just Lebron is a feel player and a gut instinct GM. He's the goat so gets away with it obv.

He was out on 3/6, and is doubtful for today as of 3 hours ago. I seriously doubt he actually plays unless this is a big-time smoke screen. Gallo is also questionable and at shootaround they said they're preparing for a game without him.

**** blows.

"The 22-year-old center is playing with more vigor and determination than he ever before in the NBA.

It’s showing up statistically, too. Through six games, the Blazers have a 99.9 defensive rating when Nurkic is on the floor, a number that would lead all teams this season. The Blazers have had a bottom-four defense this season, so it’s a staggering about-face for Nurkic, one of the laziest big men in basketball, to make such a difference."

Obviously only six games, but this does seem weird. All of a sudden Nurk is disruptive and quick hands on defense, doing stuff like blocking shots and recovering them. So he just decided to start trying?

lowes luke walton allstars article was great. best parts were the ones about what the heat are doing. spolestra deserves consideration for coach of the year. apparently james johnson is in insane shape now and that organization really prides itself on getting players in elite shape (tho i question the bodyfat % #s quoted in the linked-to article.)

NBA body fat percentages are 100% fake. It's been discussed here before. They use some ridiculous inaccurate metric.
