it almost definitely is, i would think bc they're relying solely on analytics and literally nothing else - spurs/mavs/rockets obviously supplementing pure analysis with savvy spending, traditionally great coaching, great players, etc.
for the NBA, of the top 10 analytics users only 3 have losing records right now though, and more damningly 6 of the bottom 10 have losing records and even among the winners two of them (pelicans, clips) show signs of things cracking

def being a non analytics user is a very bad sign for a number of reasons only one of which is that you dont use analytics, but of course this ranking is also... not analytic lol

@APkrawczynskiRubio on KG's 1st practice: "he already yelled at Pek twice to get back on defense. I don't think Pek has been yelled at his entire career"

everybody saw this right -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJnarXYrFSs#t=25
think mvp is curry's to lose - writers like him, warriors are the story of this season. it's been a two man race all season (davis was sorta in the conversation but it was one of those 'what does mvp mean?' conversations when he came up, ppl just discussed how it could or couldn't be him but never really got around to arguing yes it was him), and i've usually heard the 'the rockets w/o harden are more fucked than the warriors w/o curry -> harden is more valuable' argument but i think there's alot of 'i can't vote for someone whose defense is that poor mvp no way no how' types to counterbalance that plus i think westbrook's votes are gonna come from ppl who might've voted harden. would guess right now it'll be 1) curry 2) harden 3) westbrook 4) lebron 5) davis.

AD might very well be the best player overall, harden prob the most valuable to his team, curry meanwhile is a great combination of the two plus warriors plus generally seeming like a chill human so yea it's most likely his to lose
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 00:46 (nine years ago) link
Harden is #1 in VORP and Win Shares, and has more defensive win shares than Curry. AD has the highest PER followed by Westbrook and Curry.

harden dribbling the shot clock out and getting blocked then not getting back on D is why he shd not be allowed to be mvp

if every ILH user donates a small portion of knee cartilage/tissue/muscle/bone I think we could make this work for rose

After witnessing Brandon Roy's and Greg Oden's career arcs, all I can say is that shit happens and you just learn to live with it. It should be x100 easier for a fan to adjust to this Derrick Rose injury shit than it will be for Rose to adjust. After all that investment of time and effort, his hoops career is now chopped liver.
― Aimless, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 03:59 (nine years ago) link
i know he cannot hear bc he is dead but has anybody suggested to derrick rose that he should maybe stop playing basketball
― Clay, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 03:59 (nine years ago) link
sacrificing rahm emmanuel on an infernal altar and harvesting his knees also a solid idea
