Re-read what I said then. I didn't say he hasn't had a positive impact on winning, he very obviously has. I said he hasn't done "a whole lot" -...
Right, and in the 2025-26 NBA season alone Amen Thompson has not done a whole lot to positively impact that, despite having a lot of talent.
Do you know where he's from? Not to bring the D&D in here but I think that has something to do with it.
Fair enough, that's an interesting distinction. I don't agree that it "doesn't mean much", I think it matters more than anything else. After all,...
That's totally valid. I strongly disagree, but I would love for this to be true.
Sounds like you have a really high opinion of Amen. I don't think it's unreasonable, I don't think Amen has been very good this year. He's been...
Yeah I'm legitimately surprised at the amount of pushback I'm getting on the premise. I thought the premise was established and agreed upon. If...
What's your issue with it? The only major issue I have with it is that it is weighted with your minutes played (its basically impact per game...

Since you brought up, here are some stats that I think are more relevant than box score pts/reb/ast and the NBA kia mvp ladder. It's combination...
Don't have any interesting thoughts of my own to contribute to this subject, but I do think these stats are pretty interesting regarding Amen...
Periodic update of the Huge Nerd Index. It's worth mentioning again that this is weighted for total minutes played (which inherently weights total...
This is an incredibly bold, borderline outrageous claim. But man do I hope you're right.
Totally agree. Tari is a chaotic player but we do really well with him on the court. I say we continue to roll with it. He brings some nastiness...
I think you're too hard on Jabari tbh. I don't really disagree with any of your evaluation of him as a player, but I'm happy to get a roleplayer...
Yuck, no thanks. I'd take Dillon back though.
The passing continues to improve and impress
