    Giannis went bonkers after his 64 pt game. Wanted the game ball and couldnt get it. Dame looked a bit befuddled.

    Tomorrow’s game against Utah will be big. A Blazer loss would put a 2 game separation between Utah and Portland. Memphis should win more as Ja comes back. So the loss can help lock us into the 4th best odds for a little bit.

    The reason for the scoring decline from last season is fewer minutes.

    Hart is shooting 40% on 3-pointers , 55.7% on 2-pointers, 6.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists with only 1.0 turnovers per game.

    Hart's per 36 minutes points is basically identical to last season, which means the reason for fewer points this season is fewer minutes played per game.

    The big dropoff in scoring came when he was a Trail Blazer, between the 2021-22 season and the 2022-2023 season.

    Again, I was comparing his first year numbers with a team to his second year with the same team. He's playing 85 seconds less per game than he did last year for the Knicks. That doesn't make up for the 17% drop in scoring or the 9% lower FG% he's seeing this season.

    Lillard also passed Korver on the all time 3 pt list. That would be hilarious if the Pacers gave the Bucks a new ball.

    And the real answer is...

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...ors-draymond-green-suspended-indefinitely-nba

    "Green will be docked $153,941 per game if his suspension is fewer than 20 games and $202,922 per game if more than 20 games."

    ...complicated.

    If I'm not mistaken, his salary this year is $315k per game, so either there's a fixed scale (by # of games suspended) or they decide the % on the fly.

    And wasn’t the game AT Milwaukee. Pretty rare for the visiting team to run a grab the game ball. The normal procedure is for the home team ball boys to acquire it and bring it to the visiting team.

    Where does this rank compared to him shoving the ladder over?

    So he's going to make between $100 and $150 thousand dollars a game for not playing. Hell - I'll not play for a lot less than that!

    There's literally video of a Bucks staffer grabbing the actual game ball - the Pacers didn't even get the real ball. But also, how petty by Giannis. No one cares.

    I don’t think Dame would have thrown a tantrum.

    So he still makes 2-3 million for a 20 game suspension. That is about what I'll make in 20 years of what I do.

    So they are now saying Draymond is actually the victim here and he needs help.
