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

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.

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

Such a delightful player, I think he’s gonna stick in the NBA for sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP90cvTmuOU

yeah hes cool

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

Grant is shooting 44/37 and yeah it’s great that he’s doing that on high volume but he’s not really a great defender and he can’t rebound. Like he’s the same guy
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 20:30 (three years ago) link
Going from grant to green to me is a wash, but Plumlee to Hartenstein has been really bad. Hartenstein is barely playable.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 20:31 (three years ago) link
Jokic is top 8 in deflections btw. It’s him and 7 all-world defenders
