    KD would be giving Murry a discount right now if his contract wasn't guaranteed.

    It was fun to watch this game in Salt Lake City. Lots of friendly trash talking about foul calls and the Golden State Warriors.

    Cp3's effect on Anderson is ridiculous, he is basically turning Anderson into a Klay level player.

    Morey's job right now is to keep this group together. If he can do that, we might be looking at a Rox dynasty.

    This team would mop the floor with the 2014-15 warriors, the 2015-16 warriors? not so much imo

    Lol, Harden alone could've easily won 3 games in that series with more luck.

    PER this season

    14.97 -- 14.77

    One is Ryan, the other, Melo

    Per doesnt take efficiency into account though.

    14.97 PER isnt crazy, whats crazy is Anderdon's 65% TS when Paul is making plays for him.

    I'm not worried about Eric. If there is one guy on this team that can get his is outiside James it's him. He is way to good of a player to continue his struggles.

    There is no doubt we are getting better looks at the 3 this year vs last.

    I wonder in playoffs when slowed down we wil get these same looks?

    Is this regular season defense?
    The hope is cp3 can get these looks to anderson in playoffs defense.
    I hope so too

    Ryno really surprised me this season. He showed more efforts on defense and shot much better at TC! And road Ryno is still REAL!

    PER takes many things into account, including efficiency.

    No one stat is perfect, though.

    A player with 65% TS while scoring 10 points is different than a guy averaging 30 at the same percentage.

    A player with a lower TS might be more efficient handling the ball (ast ratio).

    so point here is one can't simply look at PER and see the true value/impact of a player?

    There's not many perfect stats.

    Which do you prefer?

    Not one stat..

    Wins, Win Shares, VORP, Box Plus/Minus

    but are you actually trying to prove Melo is better/more valuable than RA this season using stats?

    I was actually saying it's laughable Melo's stats weren't higher.

    You're stuck in "argue mode".
