The nerds done found a way to be influential and having zero experience playing the game. Analytics fall apart when there is pressure.

Shit is fucking the game up.

D’antoni’s high on analyticsbut he has no championships, that’s all that needs to be said.
Analytics does not account for bad habits, which can be detrimental deep in the playoffs. You suppose to fix the bad habits during the season so they don’t affect you late.
The people who couldn't play and couldn't coach now they want in
they're in baseball basketball and football
lol
Math doesn't mean shit without execution
All 3 sports are at this point. Hiring tons of analytic departments to do shit
and none of the champs are doing that lol
Put your players in the position to win.
You can't tell me People not named Steph or Klay's 3 is a better shot than Lebron's/Ad's/Kawhi/Greek's 2's are
no matter how long you write out the equation.
Rockets got too many holes & it's starting to show. The bench is utter garbage, they have no good perimeter defenders, Dantoni's short rotation is a problem, they have no length outside of Capela & they don't have shooters for the style they want to run.
Rockets are a top heavy team that relies offensively on Harden & Westbrook heavy.
Russ & Harden will get their numbers but they'll work harder against better defenses. Without depth, teams like the Lakers will destroy them in the playoffs

Lol truuuuuue!
It's that Rockets bullshit. Analytics done fucked up the game.Rockets gonna just keep shooting these 3's huh?I hate this new NBA you niggas can embrace this bullshit.
All sports is human factor first and stats second.
Stats in sports is suppose to show where your strength and weakness as at so you can adjust accordingly. And essentially, things become situational, so you work with highest probability and not something you can get every time.
If Dame Lillard wants to shoot from the logo, then I’ll give him that shot all day.
Good win
that block
Him and Dwight go for plenty of blocks don’t always get them but gotta go up for them
They make their presence known. Going to be tough to score on the Lakers deep in the playoffs.
Just coach the players you have stop doing shit you can't do lol
Post of the week.
These so called experts keep forgetting these are not toys and conputer generated facsimiles
These are real human beings men
Chemistry matters system matters motivation movement teamwork matters
That man is frustrating as hell..
He IS a good coach
But its like he is an offensive coordinator
Not a head coach
BOOM!!!
every year these so called experts RAVE on how Bill Belichek is the greatest football coach of all time because he constantly adjusts his game plan to fit the TALENT AVAILABLE to him
And ALTERS his entire style of play to best attack the opposing team weakness
Yet we get continually retread white coaches make the excuse they have the WRONG players to fit their preferred SYSTEM.
Regardless if this so called brillant system has actually ever been successful without some type of all star at various positions
Sports cannot be automated just because you not skilled enough to do it lol
Man for the longest I didn’t even know what analytics was
People telling you that you can get 1.7 points per possession
Seem like plenty of them light tinted folks love to throw this out there and usage rate and shit
the problem is making it the end all be all and putting it above actual things that matter
there are uses to show certain trend and MINOR THINGS
but they don't want it to be minor they want it to be major and the defacto authority on what's good and what's not
AND IT NEVER WILL BE
Stats can be meaningful, so there is nothing wrong when looking at rates. The problem is when they rely on those numbers as truth and put them to practical use. A team that shoots 40% from 3 point could mean they shot 8/10 one game and 0/10 the next. Add those together that can average to 40%.
That’s essentially what you saw when the rockets missed 20 something consecutive 3 pointers in the playoffs. They are trying to make their average percentage by hoisting a bunch of three pointers thinking they maximize their points per possession.
These are humans and not computer simulations.
Yep.. And the continued insistence on ignoring defense has taken its toll. You guys have undersized wings and bigs and no one to play perimeter or interior defense. Add to it that horrible offense of jacking terrible threes and it looks like you guys are relegated to a first round KO in the postseason.
I hate that crakkka D'Antonio with all my heart and soul. Pussy looks like Dabney Coleman in the movie 9 to 5. I hope he falls down the steps this morning.
Of all these crazy new metrocs?
Which basketball ones do you think are legit?
Cause nerds out here saying triple doubles are mesningless arbitrary numbers, mid range rummers are useless etc etc
I still not sure i understand plus/minus and per.
Rockets fans saying they "too small"? Draymond and his triple single becoming totally irrelevant in San Fran. Damn, dont look now but seems small ball is officially dead in the NBA.
It's kinda disingenuous when people say analytics ruined the game when every team in EVERY SPORT has an analytics department that helps influence damn near every aspect of their existence.
It doesn't matter if it's the NFL, NBA, MLB... they have some type of analytics department tucked away within the organization helping them.
Might not be titled ANALYTICS, but it's there. Every team, every sport, champion to bottom dweller... they all rely on analytics to be better.

I think it’s more that it many of those talking heads be force feeding it down our ears
That's what they're paid to do though... they trying to mainstream something that's been apart of every professional sports organization in existence for years... this shit been going on waaaaay before Billy ball in Oakland and Morey in Houston... media was behind the curve but are now catching up
