    Udrih is a two time champion. That's advanced.

    You really don't want me to post the advanced stats of him compared to others.

    Different amounts of minutes. Their per-36 figure is almost identical--8.6 for Aldridge in 2013, 8.5 for Gasol now. For their careers, Gasol's TRB% is 13.8, and Aldridge's was 13.2 at that point (and is now up to 13.8 after averaging over 16 the past two years).

    The point stands: if Gasol's rebounding (alongside Randolph) makes him soft now, Aldridge's rebounding (alongside Hickson) made him soft then.

    Somehow I have a feeling he'll downplay the advanced stats here, after just saying that advanced stats are what make Udrih an MVP candidate.

    I can't believe that sentence has been uttered with nary a laugh.

    No wait, I laughed.

    Wade's pump fake has to be the most frustrating move (outside of Harden and Durant's rip throughs) to defend.

    Mo Williams 14 assists tonight. He's been playing great for Charlotte.

    Per36 means nothing. A useless meaningless stat. Doesn't show AT ALL how a player would play with just 36 minutes unless he's playing just 36 minutes.

    Must mean Westbrook is playing tonight? They looked so good without him.

    When the players in question are playing 12 mpg, sure. When they're playing 34 & 38 mpg, it's absolutely reasonable to normalize using per 36, or per 100 possession.

    But I guess it's easier to hold on to your delusions if you just arbitrarily dismiss every stat that refutes them.

    This thread is called around the NBA in March, not around RipCity2 today.....back on topic. Westbrook looks like he's getting another triple double....and losing again only losing to Philly

    Crazy, I think all he cares about are the triple doubles. With Teague, the Thunder would win tonight but he wouldn't have flashy stats,
