Superstar
I feel sorry for the fans here in Memphis.
The new owner is nothing but a Ross Perot, Jr.
Only care about making money, instead of winning a championship.
Are fans owed a championship or something

but even a real baskteball fan could tell you the reason why Battier got benched. There is no need to look at PER/Analytics to tell you Battier was getting bodied.

You can build through the draft while incorporating analytics....most teams in the league use them anyways
seriously. why do people act like you cant both scout on the court, and then crunch even farther using quant/data guys and having them break down player/lineup efficiencies etc to see what they can uncover? why wouldnt you want your team to incorporate everything they can when constructing a team and formulating game plans?

Like Hollins said, there is place for analytics, what happens is when the statistician/front office people go outside their duties and then infringe in the coach's realm. Yo crunch numbers, let me coach.
Hollinger out there telling Daye, he needs to set his feet like this or go around screens like thatWhoa is me when he gets a head coaching postion

Role players play a motherfukking role, who cares what the name is. Its a skill set thats important.
So we should only play superstars and hall of famers to get to the western conference finals i guess
I agree that PER has its place, like you can tell JR SMith is someone you do not want on your squad, however there are so many variables that take place in a basketball game to rely on statistics. Does PER take into account flabby n sick, heart, flopping, contract year etc etc ?
Hollins shoulda smack Hollingers kufi off

You can't win with a role player at SG and SF.
Name me one team that's done it. Maybe the 94 Rockets...but Vernon Maxwell was hardly a role player and Horry wasn't either.

Pondexter and Bayless are the lineups that would spread the floor with their ability to shoot from the outside. It was useless to even dump the ball into zbo when Leonard was standing with a foot in the paint ignoring Prince.
