Fun with PER 36


Last 5 games ELFRID has 74 points in just 138 minutes.

And did I see he hit a three last night?

really nice W and as noted esp., Q4...nice when faith gets rewarded...Rose coming in with the mentality he has is just YUGE!  I was skeptical as I viewed it through my orange and blue tinted glasses of the past in which graybeards would take time away from pups...clearly not the case....we finally have a coach and a FO more sagacious than the forum (no knock on the forum...)  - first time in many years...

the culture is changing...credit to the probiotic boys  Thibs & Rose - a real gut refresh....

The second unit combines our rooks with 35 & 32 year old vets who came up under our coach and our best glue guy.

The first unit fights like hell on both ends. It isn't usually very pretty, but they bring a hell of a lot of fight. The torque is in the first unit. Max horses is found in the bench mob. This is a good dynamic that allows for mixing and matching during decisive stretches of the game.

We’ll see if this is approach is still effective against teams with their top scorers on the floor soon. I’m mainly optimistic about how that will go.

Last 10 games:
Burks  24.9 mins  36.8%   34.7%
Bullox  24.9 mins  45.8%   45.0%

Their season FG%'s have converged.
Bullox now slightly ahead 41% to 40%
Burks 42.5% on 3's to Reg's 38.5% -- largely on Burks flamethrowing the first 3 games.
And of course, Bullox plays much better D.
Bullox has become a fairly reliable 1Q scorer.
And he looks good lately, moving well, especially on D.

Wiz unsurprisingly look much better with Beal in the lineup.
They also freed Mo Vag, who got the start and has been quite good.

Avdija playing more forceful than usual.
Had a nice sequence end of 1Q.
Still can up his energy, but this was the best I've seen him so far.

Really like the Wiz grey unis with the flag design down the side.
White stars on dark blue for the jersey side panel.
With red and white stripes on the side of the shorts.
Looks sharp.  Nice way to rep DC.

A little love for Kevin Knox too in GarBaaage Time.  Kid was not going to let this cameo go to waste. 

Off the bench, makes a steal, pass to Quickly, runs the floor, IQ lobs him the rock in transition, MonSter Jam. 

Runs the floor, sets in the half court, and as Obi makes a back cut on the base line, KK leads him with a perfect lob--Dinosaur Jam

Right on about that. Knox made the most of his brief scene and it was awesome.

Oh, and speaking of nailing open threes, every time Elfrid nails one, an angel gets its wings, and Dawg has a shit coniption.  Elf took one and made one yesterday.  Sorry Dawg.  As you were. 

You live dangerously. You really want to reference Elfrid's 3's because he actually made one? Best to stay away from that shit — it will only be a source of pain in the future. On to the gospel of his ability to penetrate and defend.

Aren't we all aware of the problems they say Philly creates because Simmons wont TAKE any threes, even if this is not a developed skill of his?

And quite honestly - the masses still refusing to see that 30% still means 9 points every ten tries - or 45% - is puzzling.

Sure - the 40+ shooters are gold, since you are getting 12+ points per 10 shots - but 9 - especially when in short amounts - is livable.

Elfrid has hit mid30’s over a season at some point (326 twice, though he was shooting .372 after 44 games when he was traded from Orlando). It would be nice if he got back to that level. It would also be nice if he got himself up over 30%. I think it’s somewhat contingent on what we were asking him to do, which has gotten narrower and more focused under Thibs with this lineup. Hopefully as he sees them fall, more go in and fewer miss.

I found the 3-1 assists to TO’s more promising than the made 3. This can keep up if he leaves the tricky point guarding to the second unit guys.

Mitch needs to do a big study on Obi, Taj, and Noel while his hand mends. They are all three very good at helping ball handlers and creating opportunities by their movement off the ball.

Knix have mostly avoided injuries (Burks missed some time) until Mitch went down.


Obi says hi.


And we've had no CV-disqualifications.  I wonder how many teams have had no players held out due to CV.


Frank says hi.

Positive Pussy?

lol, don't get crazy now!

I'll admit he has somewhat warmed to the challenge of remaining in the league, but the really good stuff happened both halves when he stepped OFF the court.

***which is where he should still be most of the time if only for RJ's sake!

But, doggie, DR and IQ can't be ON the court for 48 minutes.

Besides, my Elfrid has been playing pretty good and improving, and most of all, u supposed to be a TRUE POSITIVE PUSSY (TPP)

Didn't know Franc was a CV-casualty.
Still nice it was contained, some teams have had half the roster out.
And happened at a position where we're loaded.

Anyway Knix have mostly been able to start the same 5 all season.
And since Nawlins is roughly the same player as Mitch, it's more of a 2nd unit adjustment, where Taj is now the C, with less rim protection and lob threat.
