And if you hate analytics? Well, go root for the Lakers, who have an 82.8 percent chance of keeping their lottery pick tonight."
Hopefully the many people on this board who complain about how "ANALYTICS DON'T WORK", while not understanding how analytics is used in game-planning are reading this.
One of the things I love about Morey's approach is that it's the same thing Rudy T did with his Rockets teams intuitively 20 years ago. He played a roster of Olajuwon in the low post and a bunch of 3-point shooters. The only difference is that Rudy T probably didn't take it as far as he should have.
Rudy had the added benefit of coaching during the era of illegal defense. That made the inside-out offense even deadlier back then.
