What are empty stats in the nba?

[Consumed]

Because people keep saying "He scores more but he plays less minutes!!" "He didn't even play in the fourth quarter!".

All of that is true though

Lol. I hope we get something decent for him.

Yes. But those stats don't mean what people think they mean, hence their emptiness.

For example, the fourth quarter one doesn't mean he plays a full quarter less so it's stupid to phrase it that way. Also, the number of shots you take obviously matters more than the number of minutes you play as far as determining scoring ability goes.

I'm not saying Curry's scoring is empty, obviously not. Just the "limited minutes" angle is.

Assists are fukking worthless. fukking Rondo

Big numbers but little impact

Kevin Love in Minny and Demarcus Cousins are perfect examples: Multiple 20 & 10 seasons but still couldn't sniff the playoffs

During his time in Minny (esp his last season), the Wolves were significantly better than the opposition with Love on the floor but went to shyt when hw as on the bench or didn't play. Should we really blame a player for his team not being good enough? He may not be a superstar but I wouldn't call him empty stats.

Cousins is in the same boat, albeit lesser.

I don't get "empty stats" shyt. There are great teams and there are bad teams. thats it.

Kevin Love's 18 points matter now as much as they did in 2012, he just have Bron, Kyire..etc to carry the rest of the load with him.

Cousins
Love
Rondo
Kyrie without LeBron
Harden, not as much as the others

Curry's high scoring in "limited" minutes. Breh is allowed (and helped) to take a gazillion shots in those minutes.

Yes. But those stats don't mean what people think they mean, hence their emptiness.

For example, the fourth quarter one doesn't mean he plays a full quarter less so it's stupid to phrase it that way. Also, the number of shots you take obviously matters more than the number of minutes you play as far as determining scoring ability goes.

You're pathetic.

that plus minus shyt
what does that even mean

How much a team outscores (or is outscored) the other team when a player is on the floor

I dunno shyt smells like anecdotal data to me
like what about the cases when the other team also miss one or 2 key player (s) and all the different matchups that can occur
do they have a nice little formula to compute all those cases and come up with a relevant number ? I doubt it

I mean.. you can probably have +/- & rating stats by lineups played and matchups

Hawks (98) at Cavaliers (123), May 4, 2016

Look at this, you can deduct from this the different lineups and their +/- numbers and I'm sure there might be something more detailed than this.

What about scoring 62 and not scoring in the 4th?

That's the exact opposite of empty stats actually. Da Gawd crushed that team in 3 quarters
