that Booker game is so weird. its almost like the gameplan was straight up "get Booker 70 points".

yeah that game should come with a huge asterix imo.

def disagree with booker asterisk talk tho. celtics defended him hard down the stretch

Still need to watch that game. Got it recorded.

the philadephia 76ers defended wilt as hard as they could when he scored 100, too.

celtics had a pretty good cushion that game, they cldve taken the ball out of bookers hands if they wanted to
― lag∞n, Thursday, 30 March 2017 02:47 (seven years ago) link
they didn't double until quite late in the piece iirc
― micah, Thursday, 30 March 2017 04:00 (seven years ago) link
isn't the beef not that the celts weren't guarding him hard but that the suns were purposefully lengthening the game to get him more possessions (i didn't watch)
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 30 March 2017 05:00 (seven years ago) link
ya they took some fouls at the very end, it happened in some of the other big scoring games too apparently

russ 50-16-10 and the game winning 3. only 2 TOs.
broke Oscars trip dubs in a season record. idk what to think about this Russ year tbf.

its incredibly impressive and he's not the mvp.

that rebounding video from a week or so back left a weird taste in my mouth abt rwb this year tbh
― Clay, Monday, 10 April 2017 03:41 (seven years ago) link
i mean i'm not quite at "this needs an asterisk!" level or anything but the numbers are inflated in a gross way imo
― Clay, Monday, 10 April 2017 03:42 (seven years ago) link
what he's done is historic and also a bunch of stat padding. it just goes to show how talented he is and how down his teammates are to boost his ass like that. he should get all the teammates' names tatted on his back if he wins MVP.
― nice cage (m bison), Monday, 10 April 2017 04:19 (seven years ago) link
like idk how much yall put into advanced stats, but here we go...
Win Shares (thru apr9 2017)Harden (1st)Kawhi (3rd)Russ (5th)Bron (6th)
Win Shares per 48 (thru apr9 2017)KD (1st)Kawhi (2nd)Harden (5th)Russ (10th)Bron (11th)
altho...Value over replacement player (thru apr9 2017)Russ (1st by a long shot)Harden (2nd)Bron (3rd)Kawhi (5th)KD (10th)
but then...Offensive Rating/Defensive Rating (thru apr9 2017)Russ (112/104)Harden (118/107)Kawhi (121/101)
alsoeffective FG% (thru apr9 2017)Kawhi .540Harden .524Westbrook .475
ok i think that's good. so basically russ put all the sliders on 100 to max out his stats and his team mostly benefited from it, but they're going to win less than 50 games. kawhi is playing more efficient offense although doing less on that end and is taking on a larger defensive role and leading a team to >60 wins. harden is having the best offensive season of the three (im judging off a combination of efficiency and productivity) and responsible for the most wins of all three.
to me the question is, is it harden or kawhi? but then again ive always hated russell so ymmv.
― nice cage (m bison), Monday, 10 April 2017 04:33 (seven years ago) link
VORP is based on box plus-minus, which as the name implies is heavily derived from the box score. if we're giving russ credit for averaging a triple-double then giving him credit for leading in VORP/BPM is kind of redundant
you didn't mention real plus-minus, which CP3 leads B)
― k3vin k., Monday, 10 April 2017 15:00 (seven years ago) link
the closest stats we have to baseball's WAR are probably WS and the WAR that's derived from RPM

I think they love playing with him on the court. gives them that lob option. Opens up their interior passing.

Marjanovic has 2 of the top 75 PER seasons for any player who played over 200 minutes. The only other player on the list with less than 900 minutes is Michael Jordan.

Unless Carter is ageless as he now seems to be, he is bound to fall back in this race.
