Lefty Spinning Bounce Passes Are The Best Bounce Passes
A spinning lefty bounce pass to a guy who didn't even seem to be open? Usually we only see those from Manu Ginobili, but Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell shows he has a little game, too.

Former Red Sox infielder and current WEEI yakker Lou Merloni is perhaps best known in Boston for being from Framingham and for being Nomar's friend.

The Pitch Clock Is Getting Closer

Harrison Barnes Forces Revision To The Definition Of A Shabazz Assist
Last week I introduced the Shabazz Assist, a revolutionary new statistic that properly credits a player for missing dunks that "ricochet perfectly to an open teammate in the corner." But like any forefront in advanced analytics, the Shabazz Assist remains a work in progress, and in hindsight its p...
