This is why analytics is sports suck. So many things are going on in a series or a game, but you try to quantify reality based on odds based on this idea that wins and losses are the only metric to judge players or teams and then you come off making reports about the Knicks being up 2-0 on the Celtics. Those close games happened because people played that way.

Back in the day they would be talking about the actual games and why the Celtics collapsed or how the Knicks came back. Instead we get a segment full of stats about a game people are playing compared to random cards dealt in poker. The only time they do get into the players they mention clutch and showing a picture of Brunson because they realized they might have discovered a legitimate award to have fans argue about.

These damn stat nerds are making sports fukking corny
One of the bests posts I've read in the Coliseum.
My thoughts, exactly.

I am so old school. I hate these advanced analytics and I actually hate how sports betting has turned sports into pokemon cards and shyt.

Bro we aren’t celebrating. We’re excited, I don’t know what the acceptable response should be, but it is what it is.

Like breh, the team came back from 20 down on the road to win on both occasions.

Of course we gonna celebrate hard for something that unprecedented.

It’s human nature!
