Or maybe the weirdest story? Or maybe just something that makes me laugh and I think will make you laugh too. Essentially, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/newsletters\/the-bounce\/?source=pulsenewsletter&amp;campaign=9178780&amp;userId=10748855\">if you\u2019re subscribed<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/tag\/the-bounce\/\">The Bounce<\/a>\u00a0and reading every day, we\u2019re going to have the same fun here as we do in that space.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, I\u2019ve culled the weekend schedule for you to know what to pay attention to. Weird bad streaks against teams? Beefs you need to track? Just fun games with matchups you may not have known were happening? We\u2019ve got that for you. On top of that, we\u2019ll have a good old-fashioned Throwback Thursday to hit you with that feel-good nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have fun by starting with trying to decipher just how bad this season is for the <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"69\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/sixers\/\">Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Story to Watch: This 76ers thing isn\u2019t getting any better<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 76ers are 2-12. There\u2019s no cute intro. There\u2019s no storyline to weave in and out of and bring back in a full-circle kind of way. There is simply the stark reality that, after 14 games in the 2024-25 season, the 76ers possess the worst record in the league. The <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"85\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/pelicans\/\">New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> have been better despite missing at least five of their top eight guys almost every night. The <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"79\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/jazz\/\">Utah Jazz<\/a> have been better despite being fully inclined to be a train wreck for some Cooper Flagg lottery luck in May. The <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"76\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/pistons\/\">Detroit Pistons<\/a> show life. The <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"65\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/hawks\/\">Atlanta Hawks<\/a> haven\u2019t been abysmal. Heck, even the <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"63\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/wizards\/\">Washington Wizards<\/a> woke up this morning a half-game ahead of the Sixers.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday night, the Sixers finally got to debut their star trio of <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"jcKI7IrySH9vZuXQ\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/joel-embiid-jcKI7IrySH9vZuXQ\/\">Joel Embiid<\/a>, <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"kIIUTtsJtSpaZfu1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/paul-george-kIIUTtsJtSpaZfu1\/\">Paul George<\/a> and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"ZaAqNko77dWsPkHu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/tyrese-maxey-ZaAqNko77dWsPkHu\/\">Tyrese Maxey<\/a>. It\u2019s what Daryl Morey built this team around. It\u2019s what Nick Nurse game-planned for all summer. Even though they started the season 2-11, that was all chalked up to injuries to all three of their stars. They were going to get to show off what this is supposed to look like against a <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"83\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/grizzlies\/\">Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> team without <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"O9seJiOia3fxGmjz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/ja-morant-O9seJiOia3fxGmjz\/\">Ja Morant<\/a> and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"0cJQE8GI9YlYR484\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/zach-edey-0cJQE8GI9YlYR484\/\">Zach Edey<\/a>. The star trio? It played six minutes together, and there was nothing to write home about in those six minutes. Instead, everything fell apart on a night Embiid finally had a big game after three mediocre ones, as he gets his legs under him and his body back in game shape.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Sixers fans would\u2019ve found solace in the 35 points, 11 rebounds and plus-seven stat line from Embiid. Instead, they have to key in on yet another injury. George left the game and did not return <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5936780\/2024\/11\/20\/paul-george-knee-injury-sixers-grizzlies\/\">after hyperextending his left knee<\/a>. If that sounds like deja vu all over again, that\u2019s because he hyperextended that same knee roughly a month ago. It cost George the first five games of the season, and we have to hope doing it again won\u2019t lead to a longer absence. The Sixers just got Maxey back from a hamstring injury, and they\u2019ll be playing musical chairs with Embiid\u2019s availability all season long. They don\u2019t have a ton of time on the court together to build chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of caveats to throw at the Sixers in favor of patience and taking a breath. This has been a disaster so far, but we still have five more months of regular season. And they have their three stars under contract for years. Unless they have some worry that Embiid might want out at some point (he doesn\u2019t), then there\u2019s no real reason to panic \u2026 yet. They also own their 2025 first-round pick, as long as it falls in the top six. They sent it to the <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"80\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/thunder\/\">Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> (it\u2019s always OKC) when they traded for Al Horford in 2020, but this continuing to be a disaster would only put Morey and company in position to add a top-flight prospect to the mix for the future.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news is nothing looks good so far.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Worst offense in the <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/\">NBA<\/a>. They rank 30th in offensive rating with a putrid 104.7 points scored per 100 possessions played.<\/li>\n<li>That offensive rating falls to 92.5 with Embiid in the four games he\u2019s played this season.<\/li>\n<li>The Sixers have been outscored by 12.8. points per 100 possessions with Embiid on the floor.<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019ve been outscored by 15.0 points per 100 possessions with George on the court.<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019ve been outscored by 11.8 points per 100 possessions with Maxey on the court.<\/li>\n<li>In 75 minutes on the floor together, the Embiid and PG combo has been outscored by 24.0 points per 100 possessions.<\/li>\n<li>In 45 minutes on the floor together, the Maxey and PG combo has been outscored by 19.9 points per 100 possessions.<\/li>\n<li>The 76ers are 18th in defensive rating.<\/li>\n<li>Philadelphia is tied with <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"81\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/blazers\/\">Portland<\/a> for the worst effective field-goal percentage in the league.<\/li>\n<li>They are 28th in opponents\u2019 effective field-goal percentage allowed.<\/li>\n<li>They lead the league in team meetings after a loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Embiid will get better. Maxey will get better. George will hopefully get healthier. <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"xcQl8JR9ZrXMzJFg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/jared-mccain-xcQl8JR9ZrXMzJFg\/\">Jared McCain<\/a> will get even more comfortable, which is great considering his good start to the season. I think \u2026? However, it\u2019s the Sixers, and recent history dictates they will always disappoint. At least it can\u2019t possibly get worse for the 76ers \u2026 because they\u2019re officially the worst right now, and awaiting another piece of injury news.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>Games on the Radar<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Do you plan out your weekend around your sports-viewing schedule?

That was tied with the Lakers, who now own the longest win streak at six. The Magic struggle to score but are elite defensively. The Lakers are elite offensively but struggle to defend. This is a perfect matchup.<\/p>\n<h3>Friday \u2014 NBA Cup Night!<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"75\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/pacers\/\">Indiana Pacers<\/a> (0-1, minus-13) at <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"77\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/bucks\/\">Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> (1-0, plus-14), 8 p.m. on League Pass:<\/strong> These were two of the best In-Season Tournament teams last year. Now, they\u2019re both trying to get some good positioning in their group. Both teams are shockingly chasing Detroit in their group, but a big win by either would still likely put them in the driver\u2019s seat for getting to the next round.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Atlanta Hawks (2-0, plus-13) at <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"73\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/bulls\/\">Chicago Bulls<\/a> (0-1, minus-18), 8 p.m. on League Pass:<\/strong> The Hawks are 2-0 in group play, and going 3-0 might just about punch their ticket into either winning the group or the wild-card spot for the single-elimination portion. Chicago has to win here to stay alive.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"87\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/mavericks\/\">Dallas Mavericks<\/a> (1-1, plus-38) at <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"82\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/nuggets\/\">Denver Nuggets<\/a> (1-1, plus-five), 10 p.m. on ESPN:<\/strong> Let\u2019s hope we get <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"gMyReUOesjAikT7S\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/luka-doncic-gMyReUOesjAikT7S\/\">Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/a> and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"bCjsyLGuQMrMSWNr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/nikola-jokic-bCjsyLGuQMrMSWNr\/\">Nikola Joki\u0107<\/a> in this one. Dallas has the point differential needed to control its destiny in getting out of group play. But Denver winning would likely end that for Dallas and boost the Nuggets toward advancing.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"92\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/sac-kings\/\">Sacramento Kings<\/a> (0-1, minus-4) at <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"90\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/clippers\/\">LA Clippers<\/a> (0-1, minus-21), 10:30 p.m. on League Pass:<\/strong> This should be a really fun game, and both teams have their NBA Cup lives on the line. That\u2019s especially so for the Clippers, who got blown out in their first group play game.<\/p>\n<h3>Saturday<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"88\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/warriors\/\">Golden State Warriors<\/a> at <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"86\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/spurs\/\">San Antonio Spurs<\/a>, 8:30 p.m. on League Pass:<\/strong> We need <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"0lNu4P1JXZca9gqU\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/victor-wembanyama-0lNu4P1JXZca9gqU\/\">Victor Wembanyama<\/a> in this one. If we get it, the matchup of him doing what he does and <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"toS7DgUD3IIt7uds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/stephen-curry-toS7DgUD3IIt7uds\/\">Steph Curry<\/a> doing what he does will melt all conventional basketball understanding. This will be like watching basketball in a funhouse mirror.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Lakers, 10:30 p.m. on NBA TV:<\/strong> The Nuggets have been pretty vulnerable at times this season. They\u2019re not as complete of a team as the one that dominated the Lakers the last two years. It\u2019s time for the Lakers to see if they\u2019ve made progress against their nemesis.<\/p>\n<h3>Sunday<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"78\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/timberwolves\/\">Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> at <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"71\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/celtics\/\">Boston Celtics<\/a>, 3:30 p.m. on League Pass:<\/strong> The Wolves aren\u2019t quite the same team we saw last season, but they had a couple of really fun games against the Celtics last year. Let\u2019s see if <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"od38ONt5aEAWM6H0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/anthony-edwards-od38ONt5aEAWM6H0\/\">Anthony Edwards<\/a> can challenge these guys again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dallas Mavericks at Miami Heat, 6 p.m. on League Pass:<\/strong> The <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"66\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/heat\/\">Heat<\/a> got the Mavs in 2006. The Mavs got the Heat in 2011. This one will officially be the rubber match 18 years in the making. Let\u2019s hope everybody plays in this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LA Clippers at Philadelphia 76ers, 6 p.m. on League Pass:<\/strong> <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"xj359Qh34ugWFbVp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/james-harden-xj359Qh34ugWFbVp\/\">James Harden<\/a> revenge game! Maybe Paul George will be able to play and have his own revenge game! Honestly, let\u2019s just hope Philadelphia makes it competitive because this is getting rough.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>Throwback Thursday: Jason Kapono and the perfect \u2018Toine season<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"tgfNV7PHwCHRHb1U\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/dalton-knecht-tgfNV7PHwCHRHb1U\/\">Dalton Knecht<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5934427\/2024\/11\/20\/dalton-knecht-lakers-jazz\/\">dropped 37 points<\/a> on the lowly Utah Jazz on Tuesday night, there was a bit of a debate in one of my group chats about the Los Angeles Lakers rookie. We were debating if he\u2019s already really good. Low first-round pick. Dropped 27 and 37 in consecutive nights on the two worst defenses in the league. Also had 20 total points over a five-game stretch and really hasn\u2019t done much against good teams so far. We\u2019re also super early into the season. He might be another <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"REcJPlqEek3TNlwh\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/duncan-robinson-REcJPlqEek3TNlwh\/\">Duncan Robinson<\/a>. He might even be more than that. At one point, it led to me making the joke, \u201cKnecht is what Jason Kapono is supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That led to a friend calling Kapono \u201ca 6-foot-8 5-11 guy,\u201d which made me laugh. That\u2019s when we all ventured down the rabbit hole that is a late-night basketball discussion about a random player. It\u2019s the stuff group chats were created to do. I started trying to figure out if my memory about Kapono was accurate. It was and wasn\u2019t. I correctly remembered that Kapono was once on an episode of \u201cSports Science\u201d to see if you could get a shot off in a quicker amount of time than the NBA rulebook says. Do you know about the \u201cTrent Tucker Rule?\u201d Back in 1990, Tucker hit a 3-point shot to give the <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"68\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/team\/knicks\/\">New York Knicks<\/a> the win over the Chicago Bulls. He caught the ball with 0.1 seconds on the clock, fired, and it went in.<\/p>\n<p>This led to the NBA implementing the rule that you legally can\u2019t get a jump shot off in less than 0.3 seconds. Only tip-ins are legal when there\u2019s less than 0.3 seconds on the clock. It was put into the NBA rulebook by the very next season. On that episode of \u201cSports Science,\u201d Kapono was tasked with trying to get a shot off with less than 0.3 seconds on the clock. He had a glove with sensors to help them truly measure when the ball left his fingertips. They also brought in Jordan Farmar to do the inbound pass to Jason, and generously called Farmer \u201cone of the game\u2019s rising young stars.\u201d No offense to Farmar, who did play in 504 NBA games over 10 seasons. But that\u2019s a ridiculous way to frame his presence. Although he did finish 11th in Sixth Man voting the year this episode came out.<\/p>\n<p>They let us know it takes 0.3 seconds to blink an eye. That\u2019s how quick this shot has to be. Kapono\u2019s first attempt was 0.38 seconds, and he made the shot. On the next attempt they showed, he actually broke the rule. He took and made a 3-point shot in 0.22 seconds, which doesn\u2019t even sound real.<\/p>\n<p>Where my memory failed me is how many NBA games Kapono played in. I would have guessed about 200, give or take a few. I couldn\u2019t have been more wrong. He played in 509 career games. Tack on another 10 for playoff games, including getting a ring in 2006 with the Miami Heat. While Kapono did win back-to-back 3-point contests in 2007 and 2008, I fully blocked out his career with the Heat. He played there for two seasons after his rookie year in Cleveland (same rookie year as <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"dxRvkEThnxpMbhcr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nba\/player\/lebron-james-dxRvkEThnxpMbhcr\/\">LeBron James<\/a>) and his second season with the Charlotte Bobcats. In Year 2 with Miami, Kapono led the league in 3-point percentage with 51.4 percent on 3.1 attempts per game.<\/p>\n<p>That led to a discussion in the group chat about whether or not Pat Riley used him correctly in the 2006-07 season. I couldn\u2019t believe the Heat won 44 games with Kapono playing 26 minutes per game. The other side of the Kapono discussion was how Riley had him fourth in 3-point attempts behind James Posey (37.5 percent), Jason Williams (33.9 percent) and Antoine Walker (27.5 percent). This delighted me because Walker was always one of my favorite good-bad players. He was a star on the Boston Celtics for years, before moving on to the Heat after brief stops in Dallas and Atlanta. Walker was such a star in Boston that NBA Live 99 made a commercial with the video game version of Walker, \u201cCyber \u2018Toine,\u201d spliced into real highlights.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s how my friends and I referred to Walker for years. Cyber \u2018Toine. He spent two years with the Heat. He was productive and helpful as a sixth man in the title run in 2006. Then, in 2007 \u2014 the same year Kapono hit 51.4 percent of his 3-pointers on fewer attempts (3.1) per game than \u2018Toine (3.9) \u2014 Walker had what I described as \u201ca perfect \u2018Toine season.\u201d He averaged 8.5 points in 23.3 minutes for Miami. He took more shot attempts (668) than he scored points (660). He also had more turnovers (141) than assists (130).<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned he shot 27.5 percent from deep, and I\u2019ll remind you he once said he takes so many 3-pointers because there are no 4-pointers. He shot 32.5 percent from deep for his career. It may sound like I\u2019m just making fun of Walker, but I promise I mean this all as a celebration. I love gunners who live by one unwavering principle, which is to get shots up and score points. I truly appreciate that concept on so many levels. Walker was so much more than that for a good portion of his career, but ultimately he was always a gunner at heart \u2014 apparently one Riley trusted more than Kapono.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>(Top photo of Joel Embiid: Petre Thomas \/ Imagn Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5928995\/2024\/11\/21\/nba-lookahead-sixers-nba-cup-preview\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Thursday, I\u2019ll be taking you through the big story heading into the weekend.
