dumb question, when they say somebody was “minus 12 for the 10 minutes he was in” or “plus 5 for the game” is it as simple as “his team had that point differential for the minutes he was in”?

i disagree, i think we need to reintroduce superstition and vibes based stats, rationalism is dead
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Sunday, 27 November 2022 22:24 (one year ago) link
in some ways it’s the only stat that truly matters the problem is it’s too hard to separate out one players impact esp in small samples

i mean otherwise known as…. the score
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 27 November 2022 23:18 (one year ago) link
I mean it’s the score that happens when you’re in the game, in theory it should be very useful, in practice it depends a lot on coaching decisions and the quality of your teammates and opponents
― k3vin k., Sunday, 27 November 2022 23:28 (one year ago) link
for example the nuggets are +0.7 pts/100 possessions this season as a team, which is obviously thoroughly mediocre, but it’s probably worth noting that they’re +15.7 with nikola jokic on the floor and -11.9 with him on the bench
― k3vin k., Sunday, 27 November 2022 23:31 (one year ago) link
tho obviously part of that is the nuggets bench being somewhat trash, the lineups jokic plays etc. these are the sorts of things they try to account for in the advanced +/- stats like RPM and RAPTOR with varying degrees of success
― k3vin k., Sunday, 27 November 2022 23:32 (one year ago) link
like if you think about it it’s the ideal stat, the whole point of playing basketball is to score more points than the other team, things like points per game percentages etc are just surrogates. but in reality it’s hard to isolate the true impact on scoring differential
― k3vin k., Sunday, 27 November 2022 23:33 (one year ago) link
Plus minus over a small sample doesn’t tell much but over a big stretch can tell you a lot about a player

nba reffing is broken
― im a beacon of light (Spottie), Monday, 5 December 2022 18:47 (one year ago) link
there is something fucked up about it for sure
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 5 December 2022 18:54 (one year ago) link
the fact that
- they have points of emphasis to start every season and then like 1/4 of the way through just scrap them
- there's such thing as a "superstar whistle" and "home whistle" and its not refuted
- the reffing is completely different for the playoffs vs the reg season
makes the whole thing a scam.
― im a beacon of light (Spottie), Monday, 5 December 2022 19:25 (one year ago) link
imo star calls are the root of most ref problems. it introduces all this subjectivity - who is a star? how much leeway do they get? and then if refs feel they should be compensating based on the star factor, that compensation carries over to other parts of the current ref meta like lead management and makeup calls.
calling an nba game is already incredibly difficult and expecting refs to figure out all this other stuff on the fly is a recipe for shit. the league seems happy with the status quo tho
