I dig it, getting enough from the stats to feed your fandom without so much it becomes annoying. I haven't gambled on basketball since I won a...
TLDR: EPM and DARKO look similar but are fundamentally entirely different from each other. EPM is historic, looking at data to tell you how well a...
Okay. Maybe that's the primary disagreement: KD is not an exception, by the numbers. He has been declining for years—just in the way that all-time...
Well, you're wrong about one thing: Malone and Kareem were not falling off for years. So I'm guessing that you never watched them play—which is...
Oh, dear. I said a rational way. Without going into all of the wrongness in that, did you notice the number of productive 36 year-old players and...
I cannot comprehend KD's according-to-reporters trade value. I keep in mind that nobody knows anything. Look, KD turns 37 in September. Check...
Counterpoint, Reed skeptics are absurd. Reed has hit 16 of 48 threes. (One of which was the awkward buzzer beater the other night.) So he's a...
Question from observation: With Amen it's just a question of his relatively shaky handle. You'll notice how his weakest move where he gets...
"quiet discourse about whether..." what utter bs. Some of the stupidest non-news report framing I've seen in a while. What would I give up?...
Maybe this will convince him to let it fly? Man, if he starts getting modern-NBA-level aggressive as a shooter, and guys start having to crowd him...
That's what I'm talking about! You see the arc on those shots? Ranted about it so much. Jabari shot went up and forward, not just forward, and...
I think part of what's confusing about Jabari's athleticism is that it varies considerably in different ways. He's fantastic moving laterally on...
Amen up to 76% FT - YES WE CAN!
He also reminds me of Harden in that I don't want him on the team.
I was just thinking that! He was so, so, so bad. Especially how he'd awkwardly come to a jump stop and not know what to do. The difference? Ariza...
Oof.
Does anyone have a good argument for why I should still have faith in Jabari improving a lot on offense? I love his switching defense, and he's...
He fouls so much, and stupidly, very annoying. I think he's a decent player, a pretty good defender. He's a good enough shooter when open, and...
He was amazing tonight, wasn't he? Didn't bite at all on Brunson's fakes and stayed in front of him almost every time — maybe every time? He's...
Dillon Brooks is troublingly slow. He just can't handle quick or shifty guards. Man, I really wish it had been a two-year contract.
