    I only considered front court touches. Can't stratify by passes only in the front court unfortunately.

    Here is the passes per all touches:

    At least Melo has shown he can score, the fact that Blevins is a black hole on offense is laughably insulting to the basketball gods.

    Looking the roster, there is no excuse for Portland to lose. They're more talented top to bottom. So clearly, it's going to be a loss.

    Definitely, it's a disgrace that Blevins is on the roster. Your 14th guy is somebody who should be passing all the time; trying to make the players who can be in NBA rotations better.

    If this team starts to gel defensively and they win 42 or more games i would guess less people would say this team sucks.
    But you have your soapbox and you can step up on it all you want.

    I called it. Second of a B2B on the road and they played everything they had the night before.
    Close game 128-124. Tough loss for the Bulls.

    Now if your point is the Kings suck? I would remind you they beat the Nuggets not once but twice! They have beat the Suns who are currently 6-2.
    They also played to the last shot against Houston. The Kings this year have played some solid ball at times.

    Are we really going to start trying to gauge a team off of what they do against another team because this is classic ridiculous fanboy shit.
    If so can we just say the Blazers have beat the Lakers therefore they are the current Champions?

    We should smash this trash ass Timberwolves team without Towns, but knowing the Blazers, it will come down to the last possession of the game

    Sadly true. Houston without 4 rotation players, barely won in OT.
    Chicago without 4 rotation players, became the only team in the league this season to lose a 20 point lead.

    Embarrassing...
