Game Day: Suns (8-25) @ Nets (15-19), Sun 12/23/18

Dragan needs to play or be cut

Why? He’s not hurting us sitting on the bench. He probably needs to go play in Europe.

Because their last game went into 3OT.

There has to be a way to search and see how often a team wins on the 2nd night of a back-to-back after playing in 3 OTs the night before. I am guessing that team is under 20%.

I am guessing the sample size is pretty small.

ETA: 53 regular-season 3OT games in the past 35 years. http://bkref.com/tiny/0osf0 Figure some 20ish teams had another game the next day.

As for “There has to be a way,” that table is small enough that you can check it out manually if you really want to — just click through to each of the box scores and from there to the next game.

I figured if I said "there has to be a way" you would do the manual part.

OK, I’ll get this started. First, sort them by date: http://bkref.com/tiny/TsmQL

Just looking at the next games of the road teams,

PHX lost: https://www.basketball-reference.com/bo ... 20WAS.html
OKC lost: https://www.basketball-reference.com/bo ... 60NYK.html
NYC wasn’t b2b
DET wasn’t b2b
MIL wasn’t b2b
POR won: https://www.basketball-reference.com/bo ... 00NOP.html

I found the first win. Your turn. You keep going until the next win.

Merry Christmas.

No more back to backs until you get to #15 on the list--Utah at ATL 2012-03-25 and Utah won the next night against the Nets by over 20.

Pop is going to turn him into something, I just know it. And it will be for pennies relatively speaking.

I actually think Pop is outta here after the year and Ime Udoka takes over.

I think Pop is done coaching full time after this year, but I expect him to still be around the Spurs and helping their players.
