Charles Barkley rants about Analytics and destroys Rocket GM

[Trip]

the human element is always a variable but chuck sounds silly here...

 

[street heat]

I don't care what anyone says, that team was STACKED

 

[50CentStan]

Chuck just hates the Rockets in general

 

[kingofnyc]

cuz in what world is Patrick Beverly, Trevor Ariza, Corey Brewer, Josh Smith and Dwight Howard consider a bad defensive team

Grizz were close to a 60 win team before Hollinger even came on board. Analytics have definitely stamped their place but its talent to put it in motion that makes you a championship team.

actually the Grizz were good before he got there. and he almost fukked it up when he tried to get them to play a fast pace offense early last year and the team lost alot of games early. then they went back to their grind it out low post game and were back as contenders. that cac had nothing to do with the grizz success.

No they weren't. Grizz didn't win 50games before Hollinger. Became GM in 2011/2012 season. Everyone thought the Grizz were dumb for trading Rudy Gay because of the notion you need a star wing player and Hollinger dismissed it because Gay was so ineffective.

 

[Big Boss]

Chuck is right

It's weird hearing analytics used as derogatory term...When one of the biggest breakthroughs was shooting a bunch of 3's and shots at the basket when we have all been doing that since Double Dribble



to the emphasis of the corner 3

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Charles is a buffoon.

you rolling with Morey on this one???

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Analytics is the worst thing that happened to sports imo

 

[I'mHigh]

what about it was dumb? what he said was true. analytics is just some shyt cacs who couldn't play made up so they could have a seat at the table. at the end of the day analytics don't win you championships. having the best players do just like it always been. miami ain't win cause of analytics. they won because they had 3 of the best players in the game. san antonio ain't win cause of analytics. they won cause they had the most talent 1-12 in the league. and so forth.

when's the last time the A's or some moneyball squad won a world series? its teams that got the most talent than win the chip. analytics is just some shyt for white nerds who could never play ball and want affiliation with sports.

Yeah Cacs made analytics up so they could have a seat at the table. Even though 3/4 of NBA GMs are already cacs. Makes sense breh
