AROUND the NBA:

Windhorst on the Banchero-Mosley back-and-forth: "We have a guy on a $200 million contract and the head coach at open odds with each other. It's not in the shadows anymore. It's now wide out into the open."


Problems in the Magic Kingdom? Mosley's seat is getting warm.

Washington Wizards star Anthony Davis will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Davis, who is out with ligament damage in his left hand, continues to progress as expected and has been cleared to begin limited individual on-court basketball activities.

Players with the best "Net Ratings" in the last 30 years.

Its obviously noise.  He is playing less than 16 minutes a game.  Net rating is a useless stat to compare across teams.

Don't shoot the messenger...

Don't shoot the messenger...

He didn't [shoot the messenger]. He shot at and killed the message!

The message was that some spare backup in BOS putting up 4p 3r per game is making more impact on NBA games than almost every NBA player over the last 30 years (!!). Goodness, that's absurd on its very face. 

That result tells us more about the stat (and how unreliable it is in evaluating small sample size and players playing in different contexts) than it actually tells us about the player.

GIGO.

That's fair. Half the time, I don't know what advanced stats actually mean something. I don't follow them. I let you guys determine that.

Footage of Dillon Brooks' arrest.

I watched the full body cam video of his sobriety test and arrest. You have very strict rules in US  He doesn't look totally wasted. Although to be honest, I don't know what kind of procedures for suspicion of DUI related to drugs (they only suspect, they don't have any factual evidence) we have in Slovenia.

Sounded like they used odor of marijuana as the reasonable suspicion for the arrest, then you have implied consent you agree to by having a license so they'll be able to get a urine, breath, and blood test done to test for drugs/alcohol.  Refusing to take those tests leads to an automatic license suspension and can be used against you if it goes to court.

Shocked to hear of Dak and his fiancee splitting up a few weeks before their wedding. Now reading that Luka has split up as well. Sad to see with the kids involved in both cases. I felt both were stable family type guys. Guess we never really know anyone or their inner situations.

I haven't heard much about the Luka situation, but the rumor with Dak is that she called it off because he wanted a prenup. Smart of him to stick to his guns. If she won't sign a prenup that tells you exactly what her priorities are.

Joker says he's never leaving Denver.

Similar to interview with Zubac that I posted a while ago, same guy also made longer conversations with Vucevic and Jokic. Again in Serbian with subtitles. I really recommend watching it, as I think guys are much more open and sincere with this "local" media than they would be with US based media.

Jokic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjS7i0RsNY4&t=6730s

Vucevic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPfQEbz-TGU

You can also look up his other discussions with more "on the fringe" guys like Cancar from Denver, European legend Teodosic, legendary European coaches Dordevic, Pesic, Petrovic and Scariolo. I see he also has an interview with David Adelman.
