Assuming they all play the same role on their respective teams. Batum's is severely penalized, even though the Blazer are the #1 offense in the NBA...
But if a stand alone stat requires so much explanation (an entire book) and extra context for anyone not in the top 10-20, doesn't that defeat the...
Well, I remember this came up pre-season, with Homer's edge D. Deckard saying finishing 1st in rebounding during pre-season didn't mean anything....
The fastest way to shut people up is to say something akin to, "Yes, in hind sight, that was a really dumb opinion to have." Of course, if you...
Which every street you point to and remind your children to never play in. lol
Don't blame me!!! lol It wasn't a discussion. It was an utterly generic bit of hyperbolic humor that you took seriously, because typing "guarantee"...
Whew, boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got outta hand fast. (gets popped corn)
It was a joke. I have no idea what anyone on RC2 said prior to November. You're killin' me Smalls. Since we're being serious... this team looked...

The short answer for RoLo and Batum is, PER doesn't accurately describe them. Does that make it a bad stat. I say yes, but a lot of people don't,...
Yup, that's part of it, as well as shooting efficiency. Hollinger says he "calibrates" for it by including league average, but it's more akin to...
I was going to start another thread about the teams improvement, but this seems like a good spot. ;) Are you gellin'? Sochi edition (gold,...
It's Jaynes' M.O. (no pun intended) to talk shit about Blazer players for attention. He posted this back on July 4th 2013. [IMG] Lopez has...
This was an entirely accidental thread bump. Rookie mistake. :( sryz
Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
So you're saying he can't afford to lose any more followers. lol
Replace the Bulls image with a silk screened wilderness painting of a Salmon or a wolf in the forest under a moon, and it's uncanny. Oh, and a...
