Truly unbelievable

Only 1 player in NBA history has hit >42% on 3s while attempting at least 11 per 36 minutes, according to Basketball-Reference. He has done it 5 times. That player is Steph Curry. Someone else is on pace to become the second player ever in this group: Malik Beasley. Wow. What a season.

😂 I would not have traded that lottery pick, personally

Pistons game right into a new White Lotus episode makes for a great Sunday

Trae Young: can’t intentionally miss free throws as good as Cade Cunningham

Dennis Schroder there’s your welcome to the Pistons moment.

Confident take

Malik Beasley is a bad man

SEVENTY-ONE first-half points and two starters scored ZERO???

I, for one, am shocked that Cade Cunningham is in the 3-point contest.

Speaks to how the league sees him, as one of their young stars that they want to prioritize.

Why not go and win the thing

😭😭

Hornets end up with Tidjane Salaun and Dalton Knecht from this draft class??

Plus KJ Simpson who’s played really well at times when called upon?

Color me intrigued

😂 Can’t wait to explain to my wife who Sam Merrill is

This comp literally kills me

sam merrill is giving @blakesilverman.bsky.social

NBA Midseason Predictions: MVP, Coach of the Year, Finals Matchup and More Heading into the second half of the season, we project a handful of major awards and look back on some of the highlights and lowlights of the first 40 games.

Cade Cunningham got some love in @sportsillustrated.bsky.social’s NBA midseason predictions as a first-half breakout star.

"Going from good to great is often the hardest bridge for NBA players to gap, and Cunningham is doing so right before our eyes."

That and more: www.si.com/nba/midseaso...

I truly can’t believe the Pistons won their 20th game before they played their 40th game this season.

A testament to the leaps and bounds this team has taken in such a short period of time

Cade Cunningham with the best intentionally missed free throw of all time

I do wonder if it’s more of a product of the system, but I feel you

Sometimes I see a play Isaiah Stewart makes where all you can say is “wow.”

The awareness, anticipation, timing. Special defender
