PIPM seems to be a lot better from what i've seen of it. of course rpm is a joke so the bar is low.

all plus minus is fundamentally philosophically flawed

I don't agree with that, but clearly there are some issues -- mostly owing to small sample sizes and clustered lineups -- that make it unreliable in some cases

like horford's RPM is really good, 32nd in the league, which seems consistent with his reputation and production this year. like with any statistic some human judgment is needed -- think of theis's numbers like you would a utility infielder whose batting line is really solid vs very favorable matchups, whose numbers would almost certainly come back to earth with more playing time and against more varied opposition. he's played 600 minutes this year, like 1/3 of most starters

like with any stat there are some players where you scratch your head, and the statistics are in their relative infancy and will hopefully continue to improve. I do think the philosophy of RPM/PIPM is basically what the game is all about though: everything else being equal (& obv this is where the kinks are still being worked out), what is the effect of this player being on the floor on the score of the game?

like all catch all stats its ignorant of scheme and team which is why it will never understand basketball and requires contextualization eg the very problem it purports to solve

hosting finally gone too far

Here's a graph of the correlation between opponent 3-point attempt rate and defensive rating by season. Because 3s were seen as a shot of desperation, it was negative until the mid-00s before becoming strongly positive for many years ... until flipping back to negative this year. pic.twitter.com/xfnA5dMPYX

Been a strange year for the ol jimmy buckets. Pretty much been permanent side eying dude since the revelation that mark wahlburg is his bestie. And then this last week...
https://www.boston.com/culture/celebs/2019/02/19/jimmy-butler-mark-wahlbergs-interview-magazine

knicks are gonna strike out with the good FAs and get stuck with him sulking for the max right?

I’m not sure what his market is any more

i think if he's not re-signing in philly, he's going to hurt his market a little what with the whole potentially 4 teams in 2 years thing.

i love the jimmy-wahlberg subplot lol

trae young

A crazy stat I found while writing that Iguodala story: With 18 more rebounds, Iguodala will join LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce as the only players in NBA history to have 12,000 points, 5,000 rebounds, 4,500 assists, 1,500 steals, 500 blocks and 1,000 3-pointers.

vince needs 7 steals to join that club, if I am reading basketball reference correctly

thats cool

Dirk's missing assists and steals, Marion is missing 3s and assists. KD could get there if he keeps his steals steady. It's a good random test of all around greatness.

kinda wild to me that jordan only hit 581 threes

different era

wade is another one. only 517 threes

58 for harden tonight, most scored against the heat in franchise history

guy does a lot of points

wow rude of him to travel through time to block the GOAT, no respect

lol i didnt even look at the picture

vince carter hit 7 3s tonight idk.

2 5x5 games by randos this year, stats have lost all meaning

Derrick White with the 4x5: 15 points, six boards, six dimes and five blocks. 7-of-9 from the field with a trey, too. Such a stud.
