I love stats. They tell the truth and they lie at the same time. But they are fun. Here are a couple I filed in my brain while scanning our Playoff stats so far. Feel free to tag on your own:

1.) Jaden McDaniels has played 284 regular season games and accumulated negative VORP (0.8). He's only played 17 playoff games and accumulated 0.6 VORP. He's a gamer!

2.) So far this playoff run, Kyle Anderson has scored exactly 4 more points than Luka Garza (27 to 23).

Yeah, Jaden has absolutely come up huge in the playoffs. I think him seeing a couple 3's go down in Game 6 really helped give him confidence and he was an offensive threat again in Game 7.

I thought we finally won the Kyle Anderson minutes in his stint last night, but nope, he was a -1. Unfortunately we need him on the floor against Dallas to help defend Luka. But that is really going to hurt our offense. He has GOT to make those short push shots from 6-10 feet out, but so far is hitting only 39% from the field. Just terrible.
