Egor Dëmin has been playing basketball his whole life and has never once thought "yeah let me get a bucket right here"

honestly incredible

MPJ is hilarious, he doesn't need to actually create space to shoot

dude the PA system noise ...

Danny Wolf arrives in Brooklyn Nets Rookie Report — No. 5 After a holiday week off from the Rookie Report, the Brooklyn Nets are now playing four of their first-rounders.

Danny Wolf is here, he turned Miles Bridges to dust, and the Nets are playing four rookies every day. Like I said, things could be worse:

yeah I remembered PBP this morning but carl beat me to it

been looking for a while, I feel like there is but I'm blanking

just tough to guard. CHI trying to deny MPJ's second touch and here's an impromptu blind DHO, high enough up the court that MPJ can flow into a three:

Takeaways from a pretty fun stretch of Brooklyn Nets basketball The standings say the Nets are 4-16, one of the worst teams in the league. It doesn’t feel so dismal.

After a dreadful start, the Nets are 4-9 with a -6 net rating. The rookies are playing, the young guys are growing. And idk, I'm kinda having a good time watching this team:

from the Never Hungover substack

this play won't get clipped in Wolf's highlight reel cause it wasn't an assist or bucket but this is the stuff

don't think we know yet

been pretty MIA for a couple weeks tho, that'll hopefully change

Jordi Fernández on deciding whether to let rookies like Egor play through struggles:

Jaylen Brown and Payton Pritchard should be arrested for stat-padding

I don't like it

Egor Demin plays 15 first-half minutes, just five in the second half, getting subbed after mistakes/bad plays

first game where I really can't get down with his PT

fully agree w/ the first and last sentences, disagree w/ the 2nd

I find myself aesthetically pleased by the gather + 2 step innovations because it is SUCH an athletic and processing skill to pull these moves off against NBA athletes, plus it's still enough of a constant to encourage creativity IMO

YouTube video by Thinking Basketball Why does the NBA LOOK so different now?

I am definitely in the minority by disagreeing w/ some of Ben's subjective takes here here but man is this a great video

don't really think this specific action has a wide-spread name but it is cool

I will never understand how people that like basketball don't like James it doesn't compute for me

Harden going for like 45-12-12 in 50+ a meaningless November double OT game on a crappy roster

disliking him is evidence of poor character

nah life is too short

fuck it

Orlando's half-court offense is as bad as everybody says

they should probably be proactive and bring in a new coaching staff (sorry)

just unfathomable how good NBA players are

Nico Harrison’s Firing Cements His Place in NBA Hell NBA history is littered with bad general managers, but only one made the worst trade ever

Nico Harrison won't be getting a do-over or a second act. The Luka trade will stand as his legacy.

Latest from me, at The Ringer:

don't care that Noah's 3-point shot isn't falling (yet)

- defenders close out on him pretty respectfully
- has newfound strength to body up a rock like CMB

Egor Dëmin ON: Nets shoot 14.1% more of their attempts from three, 100th percentile mark across NBA

Cam Thomas ON: Nets shoot 13.3% fewer of their attempts from three*, 0th percentile mark across NBA

*(+12.5% of shot attempts from the midrange, 100th percentile mark)

not on this page!

Wolf drives have been cool
