Yet the go ahead shot was another 3 point bullshyt shot huh? Yal nikkas on dope
The problem isn't with analytics, the problem is with stat boy geeks who think that analytics are the end all be all. The only people who lost are GS and those who had anointed them already. It's hilarious that the 2 butt-buddies who led the "GS is an all time great team" charge are MIA.
Neither team looked all that great tho, that's the point. The Cavs jacked up 25 3s last night only hitting 6 of them, and they still beat the team who hit 9 more 3s in the road. Certain people have been pushing the narrative that says old school teams couldn't hang with these current teams because they didn't shoot enough 3s. Well Cleveland just disproved that.
Not a fan on analytics but they do have a place in the game. Just think a lot of cats act like PER and all that shyt is the 100 percent truth when it comes to judging players. But basically it's common sense if you average a lot of points on few shots then you will probably be better than someone who doesn't. But at the same time actually watching the game gives you a truer sense of how impactful those same points by the same two players are. So to me it works both ways. It helps in judging whose the best but it shouldn't be the sole deciding factor.
A team built with analytics using players at PF that can shoot, beats another team built with analytics starting PF's that shoot for spacing.
Without RJ & Love playing PF, ISO ball becomes "crowded lane" ball.

So basically the "power forward" position is obsolete in today's game then huh? Richard Jefferson obviously isn't a power forward and Kevin Love didn't play like a power forward. You're basically saying that you don't need a power forward in today's game, you just need someone to stand on the outside who's a threat to make open jumpshots. Yea, I'm quite sure the Cavs wouldn't be as good with a prime Duncan as opposed to Kevin Love
Underrated comment. This is EXACTLY what happened last night

@ Your incessant need to quote me, you talk about me in passing now too which is comical. What would you do without my posts on here? 
Kevin Love is used for spacing, Jefferson is used for spacing, why is this such a difficult concept to grasp? The Cavs are one of the primary users of analytics too which makes this thread even funnier. They used Jefferson to combat the Warriors small lineup which takes advantage of bigger players not being able to switch out, and not being able to shoot from deep. Your PF needs to be able to provide spacing if you have LeBron James on your team, we saw how crowded the paint looked last year when they had Mozgov and Thompson starting.
It's why the Thunder never played Kanter & Adams together vs the Warriors.
You run this "you always quoting me" stunt every time. You're just a screen name that posts dumb shyt to me, it's not personal with you or your but buddy. I'll make both of yall a deal, if y'all stop running around spamming the board with dumb shyt pushing bullshyt agendas then I'll stop quoting the both you. Deal?I understand what Love and Jefferson were used for bruh. Yes, the Cavs went small and matched up with GS but the reason that they did that was because they don't have big men talented enough to make the Warriors pay for going small. Nobody in the league really does which is why GS is able to get away with this small ball shyt. If teams had big men that could actually post up and score efficiently and consistently then they wouldn't have to try and beat GS at it's own game. That's been my point all season. Front court post play is all but dead in today's league. Everything is pick n roll, perimeter oriented. Teams can't play inside out anymore because players don't have that skill set.
They did play those two together at times and had some success. Neither one are go-to post player who can consistently make smaller guys pay on the block tho, and that's why it would be hard to play them big minutes together. If either one had a consistent post game to take advantage of smaller teams then they could play them together tho.
