Here's an example of Doc Rivers failing to use analytics to aid his coaching and also choosing familiarity over logic. I posted this in the nba thread as well:
In among lineups that have played over 150 minues this season the core four plus lance stephenson have a net positive rating of +18. Thats good for 2nd best in the entire NBA to this point.
That lineup has played 7 total minutes in the month of December.
But guise it gets better!
Against the thunder the core 4 plus lance played 4 seconds together
Guise it gets better than that!
Pierce and crawford have played 339 minutes together and in lineups in which they are both together they are a net negative -11.
Man what a time...what a ******* time to be alive
