Nick Wright: We have swayed too far in the Analytics direction

[Ineedmoney504]

Westbrook has put a damper on some of Brons stats, Cac Wright just trying to get ahead of it

This is the same fakkit that spews adv stats like BPM all the dayum time...

Basically this.

The cac is simply mad Russ is better at padding his stats than LeBron.

Russ has turned the whole triple double craze into a joke. These last 2 years make what LeBron has done over his career less impressive.

He'll cite stats if they help LeBron. If they don't, he'll say numbers don't matter.

That's how Bron stans operate.

so y’all didn’t watch the video? He was hyping up Russ and saying him averaging another triple double is underrated and amazing lol

Same dude next time u bring up Jordan vs LeBron him and Shannon run straight to the stats

I’m sorry.

This jackass really just said that people have swayed too far into the analytics side because we can’t measure the emotional boost a player gives his teammates by swooping in for a put back?



That’s so fukking stupid.

This isn’t even a scale where analytics is on one side and common sense/scouting is on another. The two work together, dumb ass.

Muthafukkas hate statsical analyais but love tuning in to Skip Bayless everyday faithfully

People that hate numbers will never prosper...

Talking about all types of bullshyt like momentum and etc...

shyt you can't even measure...

Only thing that will forever matter is numbers...

@Swagnificent said it best, and there definitely will be a thread made about it in the near future. Westbrook has exposed Lebrons mystique, Lebrons had the liberty to be doing what Westbrook has been doin for his entire career.

I don't understand why people act like perimeter players getting rebounds is some hard shyt...

Most of perimeter players rebounds are uncontested.

Most NBA teams forgo getting offensive rebounds because offensive rebounds are less valuable than transition defense...

You watch any game...you can count at least 10 uncontested rebounds being taken by perimeter players...

A point guard will normally be running ahead to start the break while his teammates get the ball...

Like...we know how conducive basic schemes like this is for winning...

Russell Westbrook don't even get that many offensive rebounds..most of his rebounds are off Steven Adams blocking out lmao...

Yup.

Triple doubles are no longer impressive when one guy (who everyone knows isn't the best player in the league) is doing them whenever he wants.

Imagine if LeBron did what Russ did the last 2 years?

We would have never heard the end of it. Back to back seasons averaging a triple double would be used as the leading evidence of why LeBron is the greatest of all-time.

Russell Westbrook has exposed the mystique of LeBron's stats.

That's not exposing Lebron...that's just exposing Russell Westbrook's meaningless stats...

Lebron could've been did this...

Charles Barkley could've been did this...

Michael Jordan could've been did this...

D Wade could've been did this...

TMac could've been did this...

They didn't do it because it's fukking pointless and arbitrary....

Stealling rebounds from your big man isn't a basketball feat lol

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I think as long as we have a statistic for shots taken 10+ feet away from the goal, we’ll be just fine

Have you seen lebrons career percentages outside of the paint fam

Let me get my daps

 

[Rigby.]

alot higher than Ben's, I assure you

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

the blog boys ruined basketball discussion.

couldn't make the ball team at any level so had to figure a way to insert themselves in the conversation.

This is true. I’ve never seen more posts about per 36 minute stats, win share percentage, and all that other BS than I see today.

If they could have, they would have.

Warriors and Rockets would disagree. Analytics run the world, get over it fakkits.
