idk guys i think lavine deserves it over trae. he's got that team in 8th place (hakws 10th) and his splits are insane:
28/5/5/1on 52/43/86
while trae is 27/4/9/1on 44/38/88 and everyone hates his ref bating.

CP over Booker is hilarious, even if booker hasnt been his best self (looking good of late, tho)

weird that there are two guys on the east team who have half a season of allstar production they usually make you prove it for a year before they let you in, unless youre zion or someone like that

idly wonder if russ is super pissed and is going to go 6 for 38 next time the wizards are out there to take his vengeance

also people like to watch lavine dunk, and zion

wonder how ingraham feels about zion getting in over him
broken record thing but the general talent level of the west vs east squads is pretty frickin nuts

i dont feel like theres a big fanbase for lavine but i could be wrong he is generally the type of player who could have fans
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 00:23 (three years ago) link
I always feel weird about guys like lavine because they’re making the all star team largely because they are seemingly at the far high end of their shooting variance. But you can’t argue with those numbers.

LUKA x2
not much you can do about that except not be down big needing a 16-3 run to even get the game close at the end

And a shortened season didn’t allow for the normal return to the mean. These picks might look real silly come end of ye season

TJ is lowkey dangerous as a scorer in certain areas
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 17:48 (three years ago) link
Facu is just such a pest on defense that I’m kind of dismissive of any stat that says he’s not decent overall
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 17:49 (three years ago) link
yeah he causes a lot of chaos out there
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 17:50 (three years ago) link
Facu is averaging 2.2 deflections per game in 15mpg which is a crazy number. Simmons leads the league at 3.9 per game.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 17:59 (three years ago) link
just seems like a guy who knows how to ball even tho he is short
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 18:00 (three years ago) link
TJ has 6 blocks and 9 steals in his last 4 games kinda wild. I think the league changed how they assign blocks, if you strip low on the way up for a shot its counted as a block now i think.

his career numbers are so consistent
perusing some numbers this morning and weirdly jamal murray is 14th in the league in RAPTOR WAR

All-Stars based on each of the impact metrics (looking at total value so playing more minutes helps). I think the East has too many guards for RPM so I added in Simmons who would replace Kyrie if there needs to be an extra frontcourt. pic.twitter.com/VWWcjppqLN— Krishna Narsu (@knarsu3) February 23, 2021
all in one stats are so dumb i hate them

im gonna come up with one that averages them all called DUMBSMART WARWINS

naw they're ok, all have their limitations of course especially the defensive ones early in the season, but taken as a whole they obv make pretty good picks

does anyone think mike conley is the second best guard in the west DOES ANYONE THINK MIKE CONLEY IS THE SECOND BEST GUARD IN THE WEST

yeah conley is the big outlier and there are some misconceptions about his value even from ppl who should know better. he's definitely having a very nice season and is a good player but a lot of his value in the all-in-one stats is driven by on-off defensive numbers, which should ALWAYS be looked at skeptically in small samples, especially if you play almost all your minutes with the best defensive player in the league
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 24 February 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
they literally match his minutes with gobert, it's so silly
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 19:05 (three years ago) link
xp but idk it's hard to look at that chart and think the big stats are really missing the mark in a systematic way. to me conceptually at least adjusted plus-minus numbers are exactly the kind of stat you want to be using to determine value, but you have to understand that they can be noisy in small samples and use your judgment when interpreting them
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 24 February 2021 19:06 (three years ago) link
you like them because you like thinking about stats not because they are good at what theyre trying to do, which they clearly are not

the other thing I'd say is that while I don't mind facu in a vacuum it's painful to think about the net changes to the nuggs roster this offseason, like while he's a nice 9th piece or so watching grant and plumlee playing well sucks when guys like that are obviously exactly what we need

the adjusted on-off stuff is still pretty new and working out the kinks and so forth, anyway it's just a bit of fun let's be cool

theyre dumb im sorry they obfuscate where they should clarify
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 19:21 (three years ago) link
people who work on this stuff should work on more useful and interesting stats instead which is to say more granular stats
