Used these minutes projections to get projected minutes-weighted age for each team. This would make the Clippers the oldest team of all time by over a full year.

First pass at Predictive LEBRON for this upcoming season as well as team ratings based on predictive LEBRON. Uses @kpelton.bsky.social
minute projections. Will probably update with a better model at some point so very much a first pass. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Bluesky has a growth problem

Bluesky has hit 38M monthly users, up 8M since March

Once adding 5M users per month, it’s now slowed to 1.6M. A 60% drop

But post volume is falling—more users, less activity

It risks becoming a ghost town with a loyal but shrinking core

Bluesky’s growth momentum has slowed, but it is still growing.

For those keeping track at home:

- Pelicans trade their top-4 protected Pacers 2026 pick for #23 pick in 2025 before the end of the Finals when they could have simply waited
- Pelicans trade that #23 pick and their unprotected 2026 pick for the 13th pick in the 2025 draft

Number of ball screens that SGA & Jalen Williams set for each other...

Game 1: 1
Game 2: 2
Game 3: 0
Game 4: 9 (including 7 in the 4th quarter)

The 9 is tied for the most screens they've set for each other in their 3 years together.

Of the 10 most improbable comebacks of the playoffs in the play by play era (since 1997), the 2025 Indiana Pacers have THREE of them.

#4 (tonight), #5 (against the Cavs), and #7 (against the Bucks)

➡️ Teams getting into their first action quicker in the playoffs than regular season
⬅️ Teams getting into their first action slower in the playoffs than regular season
⬆️ Pressuring more on defense in the Playoffs
⬇️ Pressuring less on defense in the Playoffs

Indiana is really taking advantage of some low hanging fruit in the last 2 playoffs- pressure the opposing ball-handler to force them to take more time to get into their actions & get into your own actions sooner!

🚨NEW WORDS🚨

Steven Adams-Alperen Sengun lineups have outscored the Warriors by a total of 31 points in 54 minutes.

In those minutes, the Warriors have scored only 0.85 points per possession.

The Luka trade was never about this year. Lakers are an incomplete and unbalanced roster, but if that’s the cost for getting a perennial MVP candidate in his prime, you take that hit. Their play after the trade probably got hopes too high because they were always going to have playoff weak spots.

Two games is a small sample size, especially against a single opponent, as in the playoffs. But here are some team notes:
- OKC completely shutting down MEM on 3s and transition. Actually everything.
- HOU still best rebounding team
- MIL bad from 3 thus far. Their 3pt shot quality has been poor.

On the last You Know Ball pod, @trillbrodude.bsky.social was talking about the calculator rats loving Jokic more than SGA. So @sradjoker.cc put together a good meme to explain the MVP race (LEBRON and EPM have SGA ahead).
