Hollinger: NBA All-Star Game seems to have its own games-played threshold

New York Times  

For the first time in NBA history, a player has been mathematically eliminated from the MVP race. However, Randle has been one of the league’s elite minutes sponges over the last several seasons, while Butler hasn’t played more than 65 games in a season since he was a Chicago Bull. • The Golden State Warriors visited the Grizzlies on Friday, …

Hollinger: Is Cavs-Knicks II on the horizon? Plus, assessing NBA’s load management report

New York Times  

Who’s up for Cavaliers-Knicks II? To be clear, the league’s study excluded all payers who had a multi-game injury in the season in question — an interesting design choice, first of all, but also one that then limits the “Load management doesn’t work” conclusion further to exclude most of the league by the All-Star break. David Weiss, the league’s senior …

Hollinger: The Oklahoma City Thunder have arrived. Now what? + Memphis’ math and more

New York Times  

Go back in time nearly a dozen years, to June 2012. The Oklahoma City Thunder had a 1-0 lead in the NBA Finals and were preparing to host Game 2, and the future couldn’t have been brighter. The Thunder are 29th in defensive rebounding and are badly undersized any time Holmgren leaves the court, playing long stretches with the 6-foot-5 …

Hollinger: Celtics, 76ers, Bucks and more — predicting the top of the NBA’s East

New York Times  

Hollinger’s 2023-24 projections: West’s Bottom 8 | East’s Bottom 8 | West’s Top 7 The top of the Eastern Conference also doubles as the top of the NBA, at least until further notice. If a 44-win projection feels unfair, consider that last year’s Miami team also won 44 games, lost Gabe Vincent and Max Strus with no compensation and also …

New York Times  

The first weekend of NBA Summer League brought us perhaps the most entertaining matchup of the entire event, as top pick Victor Wembanyama went shot for shot with … Michael Devoe? In came Devoe, an undrafted 23-year-old southpaw from Georgia Tech, fresh off a season in which he averaged 6.7 points per game with a 9.8 PER for the Clippers’ …

Hollinger: Why I’m picking a Celtics-Nuggets NBA Finals, with Boston winning it all

New York Times  

Here’s the thing about the NBA playoffs: A lot of guys who played a fair number of minutes this season are about to become irrelevant. Milwaukee’s point differential this season seems superficially unimpressive because the B team played so many minutes, but PLANINIC thinks the Bucks’ best groups can beat anybody. Cleveland vs. New York : I haven’t talked a …

Up close with LeBron James and the Lakers as he prepares to pass Kareem to become NBA’s scoring king

New York Times  

In happier times for LeBron James and the Lakers, he sat at a folding table in the press dining room after a win in Indianapolis, speaking over the noise of fresh ice cubes being spat out by an ice machine, and engaged in a thought exercise. “I’m going to do it,” James said of setting the scoring record after a …

Hollinger on NBA free agency: The secondary market, with Nic Batum; Knicks worries

New York Times  

It’s NBA free agency time! Baynes used $7 million of Toronto’s mid-level exception, leaving just $2.2 million left over if they wanted to sign a younger player to a multi-year deal with their last roster spot. The deal appears to use the chunk of the mid-level exception that wasn’t taken up by Moe Harkless’s deal, at $5.7 million this year …
