No worries. I know where you are coming from ;)
I have no generic point. I try to use PER when discussing players only where it makes sense. I am sure that sometimes I am not right, but that's how...
Your points 1 and 3 have a lot more to do with each other than Zach's popularity. Zach is a fantastic offensive player, have been for a long time -...
I can see it - but if we expand this argument to talk about half a season (so we have some "relevant data" to begin with to get your initial data),...
You know what, given enough consideration - I am willing to accept this argument logically. Still would love to see the data to find out if it really...
PER is a nice way to get a general feel for a player's mostly offensive efficiency given enough data. Like everything else in life - it has to be...
The method I presented above includes pace as well, and I think I addressed that claim that more possessions enhance the winning chances when we...
I have a problem with this in general, and the problem is as follows. I am using Hollinger's description as a starting point: (From...
That is not the example I gave you. I gave you an example of a team that always limits the game to 2 possessions - one they have, one their opponent...
I am willing to bet it is both of those. He still looks like it is a problem a little bit every once in a while - but getting over it is a big part...
The issue is, that there is a discrepancy between offensive and defensive efficiency and scoring margin - so one of those is out of whack when it...
We have seen that many stat heads consider scoring margins as "important" to define a team's projected success. What I have not seen - is these...
Yes. K-Love is a much better player than people gave him credit for before the draft - but he is a much bigger defensive liability than LMA.
The opposition was not that great during that stretch, so I do not think it was the best week for the Blazers this year (the week when we won against...
I think that like most bigs, in today's NBA - it is very hard to have a big who is such a big mismatch that he can carry his team to big success...
Every day we get to see Batum - we need to remind us what a world-class pritchslap it was to get him and not let him go to the Spurs. Kid is...
I agree. Might be good to try a bit of zone.
Yes, it is pretty damn good. But, people have some crazy ideas about how good they need to be or how bad the coach/players are. The results,...
All Blazers basketball stuff now goes in OT? What are we talking about in the main forum, huh?
Not gonna happen. Might start his R.O.Y campaign there, however. http://www.nba.com/blazers/news/ROY_Campaign_Kicks_Off_in_R-212966-1218.html
