When it is time to panic about your NBA team? After 8-games. The eight game mark is when net rating (point differential per 100 possessions) stabilizes and becomes more real than noise. We also know champions typically always finish the regular season top-5 in net rating.

Illinois set more ball screens than almost anyone in college basketball last year and had the most efficient offense ever. Now the Illini are ditching the ball screen and hitting the gas. A behind the scenes look at a new approach: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

nytimes.comIllinois made the Final Four with a record offense. Then it scrapped it for one with no plays (Gift Article)It's easy to change when what you're doing is not working. Illinois changed when everything was working — in pursuit of something greater.

This chart shows each NBA teams offensive 3pt% (blue dot) and defensive 3p% (orange dot) this season. The purple shading shows the range that every NBA team fell into last season. Teams at the top have had the most 3pt luck this season while teams at the bottom have been the most unlucky.

Wolves are the luckiest team. They are shooting 44.7% from three while their opponents shoot 23.8% Last season every NBA team fell between 34.1% & 39.7% Eventually Wolves opponents will start making more threes & Wolves players will miss more as we play more games.

Miami Heat are the exact opposite. Offensive 3p% 30.4% Defensive 3p% 42.9% Both of those numbers are going to start working their way back to 36% and the Heat won’t be getting blown out every game.

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

With a majority of teams having played three games, it’s still too early to look at team stats as they are noisy and unreliable. In a couple days however, we will be able to analyze pace and 3pt attempt rate as after 4-games these stats pass the threshold where they become more real than noise.

Finch utilized a lineup of Ayo, TSJ, Kuminga, Lyles, Berringer and they outscored the Raptors. When I saw no Ball, Edwards, McDaniels, Gobert, i thought uh oh. But Wolves handled it well.

Coach Finch has also discussed the idea that it may optimize Edwards to have him always with Ball. And this would allow TSJ to play with the basketball more in bench lineups where he can be a load getting downhill.

Although Banchero is only in his age-24 season currently. Looking at on/off season-by-season, there have been improvements with last season the Magic were neither worse or better with or without him. Table via Cleaningtheglass.com showing how Magic’s differential changed with Banchero on court.
