Don't the Rockets hate midrange shots? Wouldn't they prefer their opponents to take midrange shots? Why should Houston worry about stretch 4s that...
A convenient spin when the facts and spirit of his comments don't fit one's impressions. I've followed Morey for a long time, and he's actually...
Since dunks are the most efficient shot, why doesn't the team only dunk the ball? Because when you only do one thing or you only do two things,...
Harden is very athletic. He's especially athletic if we take the broader definition of it to include his size and strength. Harden's speed is...
No, you are wrong. It would be impossible for Lin to beat Wall in a 3/4 court race when Wall has a higher top speed unless Lin has a faster first...
As someone I've noticed has been a long term, frequent, and strident doubter of Lin's potential, it's a little frustrating to see you say this....
Yeah. There was talk like this in some quarters about Andy Murray being Scottish, but that's just troublemakers. All of the UK celebrated Murray's...

Oh, also, the usual "Morey lies" retort is silly. You can't just use a magic wand to wish away pieces of evidence that don't fit your...
Bingo. The inference to RAPM from Morey's publicly stated comments, and many corroborating pieces he's dropped in interviews (Asik's rank among...
I should have said Morey wins every roster move he makes, since that captures more of the utility he gets from advanced stats.
*...historical effect on winning...
It's popular to say that "advanced stats are flawed" because so many people are innumerate. If advanced stats are flawed then simple stats are...
Because that's a worthless incentive for signaling to us that you have confidence in your prediction?
I don't think the last Bynum trade leaked and that involved a bunch of teams.
Divisions aren't nearly as important in the NBA. LA is about championships. Howard on a Morey led team is more dangerous than Golden State--what...
