Among players with as many shot attempts as him, Giannis had the worst shooting percentage on 3s, FTs, mid-range shots, and shots in the paint outside of the restricted area.

Seems the NBA community on lemmy.world is gaining much more traction than here.

https://lemmy.ml/c/nba@lemmy.world Or [!nba@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/nba) is the community I’m talking about. Seems to have gathered more people. Don’t know why, but in these quickly changing times chance is probably a big factor. No reason multiple communities can’t survive, but realistically, as we know from Reddit, one will often dominate. Sorry for the mod here if they were keen to start a community. From what I understand, moderators of a community need not be all on the same instance, so maybe you could help out over on lemmy.world. It seems they might want it too. Lemmy.world should be a stable instance as it’s run by [@ruud@mastodon.world](https://mastodon.world/users/ruud) who runs a number of instances including a fairly large mastodon one.

[Goldsberry] Nikola Jokic has become the first NBA player ever to lead the playoffs in total points, total rebounds, and total assists. Simply incredible. https://twitter.com/kirkgoldsberry/status/1668453566363697154

[Post Game Thread] The Miami Heat bounce back and even the Finals 1-1 against the Denver Nuggets, 111-108. Bam Adebayo goes for 21/9/4, Gabe Vincent leads the Heat in scoring with 23

[Box score here](https://www.nba.com/game/MIA-vs-DEN-0042200402/box-score). Who's going to win the series? Jokic had a huge game yet the Nuggets lost. Seems like Miami's defensive gameplan is to let Jokic score and lock everyone else up.
