"Analytics" encourage paint scoring over threes. The Pelicans had 70 PitP.... This is why basketball commentary is where its at.

at 14 points being his high.

I mean if you have a wide open layup I expect you to take the layup instead of running to and/or standing in the corner

But “nerds” misconstrue the whole 3 > 2 thing.

Situationally, what is the highest percentage opportunity with the most reward? Take it.
That's all basketball analytics is. People have invented this ridiculous boogeyman that's "ruining the sport"

analytics want you to play to your strengths too which the Pelicans do

**** is sad man. People legit don’t even know or understand what “analytics” is. Is a pejorative now.

Chill on the pr0n, fam.

Oh is that what she does? Interesting. I just happened upon her at random on IMDB.

 

[wavycrocket]

Zo & Melo balling out is great for the league.



Oooh....oooh

 

[MajinZuub]

I’m really glad Melo was able to get back in the league and figure out his role

There’s a philosophy I’ve long subscribed too. I don’t like it, and it is a bit reductive, but it seems to be proven more true every day. That philosophy is “people are stupid.”

 

[addict4sneakers]

PJ Tucker hates this team

 

[wavycrocket]

Never thought I’d see my guy put defenders in jail, then hit a mid range pull up



Growth!

 

[Kinfolk]

It’s that way because of who is delivering the message.

Got people like Nate Duncan weaponizing analytics so that the take away becomes “I never played the game, I’m a jerk and me and my spread sheet know more about the game than you ever will”.

 

[yobyellav]

Melo dunked that like I was after I stopped hooping and walked in the gym like I still had it.

Analytics.....meh. If you're more comfortable with a 17 footer, shoot that instead of running behind the line where the shot is harder 'cause it's further away.

Shaq called todays players soft as hell

Shaquille O’Neal: Today's NBA players are as soft as 'pudding pops'

Like 5% of basketball fans know who Nate Duncan is. I listen to dunked on....and he for sure is smug, dismissive and comes off like a dude who just started watching ball. I never liked the way he’d talk to His old co-host Danny. That said, the other side of analytics is mainstream basketball media. Which is the most popular form of ball consumption. Inside the nba, bleacher report, the jump, highlights etc. Those are all “anti analytics” mediums....and they’ve demonized it, and acted like the nba is strictly money ball......and all of the teams play like the Rockets or something,


Like, these same mediums have you thinking that mid range shooting g is dead ((although all the best scorers utilize midrange still). And the big man is “dead”....Although Jokic & Embiid are top 10 players and candidates, and there are a wealth of unicorns.

Basketball media coverage has been so poor over the last 6 years. The last time they got it right, was the Spurs in 2014. Downhill ever since.

 

[amitt5504]

“Nerds” believe Benjamin should be shooting 3s because *analytics*

That’s how you know things ain’t right lol

 

[antidope]

Wow

 

[addict4sneakers]

And again. Analytics want your highly efficient shooters to take mid range jumpers. It’s why all the top 20 guys take them minus harden

 

[antidope]

Nate never let's Danny Talk ever and Danny makes better points usually. Always wondered why he stuck around for it.

wavycrocket .

Hollinger and Duncan's flaw right now is that they're the game guy. I wish Duncd on didn't go totally paid it was one of my favourites

 

[pmatic]

Nate and Danny broke up?

 

[rolaholic]

 

[yobyellav]

Is their other brother in the g league?
