In this thread, every post must end with "Take that for Data"

Lauri Markkanen has 17 3s in his first 6 games. Most ever by any NBA player in their first 6 career games.

 

Rasheed Wallace had 41 technical fouls in the 2000-01 season.

 

Ray Allen's Real First Name Is Walter

 

1. The fan-favorite three-point shot wasn't always in the NBA. It, in fact, started in the ABA, which was known for more flashy play and showmanship.
   
   The NBA didn't adopt this new rule until the 1979-1980 season. The rest, as they say, is history

TAKE THAT FOR DATA

 

P.J. Tucker's real name is - Anthony Leon Tucker Jr..

The P.J. comes from his father who was an aspiring baseball player who nearly made it to the major leagues. His father's nickname; Pops because of the sound the ball made jumping off his bat, hence "Pops Junior" or P.J. for short became the new name for Anthony Leon Tucker.

 

Drummond went from being a 38.6% free-throw shooter last season, to 78% this season (44/56 including the preseason).

 

TAKE THAT FOR DATA !

 

Take that for data!

 

1) Eric Gordon has scored at least 17 points in every game this season, scoring at least 20 in seven of the 10 games. Since the start of last season, the Rockets are 22-4 when he scores 20 points.

2) Over the past six games, Ryan Anderson has averaged 16.7 points on 47.2 percent shooting and 40 percent 3-point shooting. He averaged 7.8 points on 33.3 percent shooting, 30.4 percent 3-point shooting in the first four games.

3) James Harden's 39 3-pointers lead the NBA.

 

and hes doing it while getting acclimatized to the harden rule

 

So far the best

 

Wth is wrong with nba ???
Grizzlies beat rockets twice and gsw but cant beat lowly lakers.
I am so mad, we should be 10-1 now

Oh and take that for data

 

And the Cavaliers are 4-6, having lost to the lowly Hawks at home last night. LeBron and all the washed up stars couldn't save them.

Take that for data.

 

This is Harden's achievement last night. I think it deserves to be in this "take that for data" HOF.

• He scored 54 points in just three quarters
• He became just the second player to score 50 or more points while dishing out 13 or more assists (Oscar Robertson)
  
• His 56 points were the second most in NBA history on 25 field-goal attempts
  
• His 56 points were just one point shy of Calvin Murphy's franchise record
  
• It was the sixth 50-point game of Harden's career -- no other player in Rockets history has more than two

 

Cavs are 1-4 this season when a double-digit favorite. All of these games have been at home.

Take that for data!

 

I much prefer Beverley's own, "Men lie, women lie, DATA DOESN'T LIE."

Take THAT for data.

 

2nd time in 3 weeks for Jim.
