Reason number 5,000 analytics is fraudulent

What

It's probability based on historical data

I don’t know if the pacers success is repeatable. A lot of stuff happened to get them to the ECF. they are a good team but I’d still be hesitant to throw big money at a 30 year old pascal but that’s just me

I am wondering if he dabbles in any extra-curricular activities. He acts like he has habits.

When I used to party I used to get my favors from the same guy as BJ LO and Farmar.

Walked in one day and thought I was on a reality show

 

[TimelessClassic]

Jalen Smith is probably gonna opt out of his player option...I wonder what he would get on the market. He could be a good contributor, maybe even a starter on some teams

What's her IG??

After you bust, that accent prolly hella irritating

Keep forgetting Houston was 6th.

They definitely won’t be back but what would’ve been the path forward with Bruce Brown’s contract instead? Only about ~$15M in cap room. That’d only get them another role player.

Perk understands.

Again, to just pretend it is a(n) (independent) regular season award just isn't true.

It's literally a regular season award. Sharing an opinion with Mr. Hot take isn't really helping your case.

I am big out on BI so get Pascal to the Thunder. Need him closer to 30- to mid 30s though and I can give you Gordon Hayward and Josh Giddey

Yea I know. It’s nearly impossible to have a basement in Florida.

I just didn’t know Texas was like that too.

No basements in Texas. Been here almost my whole life and never seen one. Its impossible to have them in Houston. Ive seen them in movies but I haven't been in a basement since I was like 8 years old when I was visiting NC.

Yeah I get they kind of don’t have a choice but next year if they get bounced in the first round, they going to be memeing those super max/pascal contracts and that’s just is what it is. If pascal was 28, I get it.

Ingram is a whole 3 years younger and fits a need. I know a lot of people are sour on him but he’s still a good player. And you hope Jarace turns into something sooner than later.

@HIM

It goes to show that even with all the missteps an organization can make, there's always a way to course correct. Last year, they seemed dead in the water with letting Brunson walk, getting a "toxic asset" in Kyrie, barely any cap space, didn't make the play in etc...

You just need a couple of wins amidst the losses and that can take you a long way.

 

[Moheezy]

People talk so much about the $ figure but that's less relevant than the % of the cap space. Sure he may be making 50 mill at 34 years of age, but he's also taking up less cap % which is actually more team friendly.

Not a fan of this “podcast” but that logo is cool as hell.

Exactly my point

Nobody watching that game would have put it past 50% chance at any point during that game that Indiana would win.

 

[ballinsam23]

Ingram seems bound for Cleveland or Atlanta

Your point does not make sense though

 

[Brownstone]

Your point does not make sense though

Indiana's win % based on previous games is statistically accurate based on historical data but not relevant at all to last nights outcome even in the 4th.

[nick.]

If you flip a coin, you could expect it to land on heads 50% of the time. If you have a three point lead & possession with 12 seconds left, you could expect to win the game ~90% of the time.

The data is not wrong if the coin lands on tails or you lose the game.

Huh?

I am starting to think you don't know what the win percentage is actually saying.

I will nominate Detroit.

Me too
