@geoffschwartz @lostinmissouri1 Tbf it wasn’t called for Brunson either, maybe they letting shit go nowadays??? At least she got suspended after

[Chris Steed @csteed]

Arguably the best example of analytics at work in a development/personnel setting.

Ellis being traded from the Warriors paved the way for the Klay Thompson trade and unlocked Steph Curry.

The data said Ellis was good but inefficient; the fan eye test said he was a ‘real hooper’.

The data ultimately paved the way for the Warriors dynasty built around pace and space with the acquisition of Klay and offense being built around Steph.

3 million less AAV for the better player.

Could cry that NYK is now the team that players WANT to play for.

[Shax @ShaxNBA]

The problem with social media/media

I don't even think it's an analytical or eye test debate. It's a debate on bad discourse

[Josh Lloyd @redrock_bball]

I know it sort of goes without saying, but anti-intellectualism and fear of data and numbers is becoming a huge problem

[Ohmeezzy @Ohmeezzy]

I had to revisit this because this is so bad and corny. Josh Hart is by no means a Hooper. Specifically what we consider to be a Hooper in the NBA context. No bag. Not a shot creator. Not a Hooper. He's not a crazy knockdown shooter either.

So one would ask "why is he still in the league?" And it's because the white nerdy unathletic guys have figured that the team is better when he is on the court. He provides so much more than the traditional box score would lead to believe. This is why we should not only continue to have him on the court, but maybe shift our lineup philosophy around to feature a guy who is 6 foot five at the power forward. Analytics love, Josh Hart. And in the era that he and some of the other others are champion, they would throw him away.

I hate people who are anti-math and science, but then use math and science in their everyday lives without acknowledging math and science. Maybe I need to listen to the full episode, which I will, to get the full context, but this was a great opportunity for them to have a full and nuance conversation that seemingly is wasted because agendas need to be pushed

[Basketball University @UofBasketball]

Watching the game allows for nuance & context that data can’t account for. Data accounts for every minute of game and captures a bigger picture that allows for accuracy > feelings.

If unwilling to recognize and understand the value of both, there is no conversation worth having

[Brandin🏵 @gotmybrands_on]

A SIX FOOT FOUR SMALL BALL POWER FORWARD IS TELLING US ANALYTICS ARE BAD???!!

Your literal role in the NBA exists BECAUSE analytics showed your value you fucking moron!!

[Hot Hand Theory @HotHandTheory]

🚨 A recent study published in the Journal of Sports Economics found that hiring just ONE additional analytics staffer gives an NBA team as much value as spending $9 million more on player salary (‼️)

Let’s break down what researchers found 🧵

@morelikemensa Oh also If Hali recovers, I expect Pacers to be good again. Idk if they beat us this time but still good matchup

[Slim @Nick_Mich25]

@morelikemensa Toronto & Detroit with either JB or Kawhi, & ATL with anyone better than Kuminga are the scariest imo, & maybe Boston depending on returns, bcuz I still think we beat the Heat. If Coby is enuf of a playmaker, Charlotte is hot. But if we stay Locked In, no reason why not

[Slim @Nick_Mich25]

The Spacing with drives & cuts, The playmaking through ball movement & unselfishness, The game-planning & Adjustments.
Kat-Hub, JA-JB handles, All-Star OG, & a finally free Kal
Time to see it all for a whole season!

[jaycee @jayceepxrez]

What if they just start doing this from game 1 of the regular season

[Slim @Nick_Mich25]

Damn

[Caitlin Cooper @C2_Cooper]

I don’t know what “analytic basketball” even means anymore.

Is that synonymous with all-in-one-metrics? The three-point line? Stats we don’t like?

[Slim @Nick_Mich25]

WHAT FUKN GAME!! HOLY SHIT

[Slim @Nick_Mich25]

@SamMonsonNFL The columbian goal pulled back by an inch

[Slim @Nick_Mich25]

@SamMonsonNFL another one 🤦‍♂️😂😭

[Sam Monson @SamMonsonNFL]

Hate it. HATE it.

TECHNICALLY correct, but it's just not what the rule was ever supposed to achieve.

[New York Basketball @NBA_NewYork]

"I kept saying last year…'yo people are locked in differently this summer'…got so close…And I think we have a special chance to do something special again next year because–we're gonna enjoy this–but we're locked in. I've never seen such a locked in crew"

[Slim @Nick_Mich25]

DUH CRAZY CUZ YOU’RE ONLY GETTING 4 😭😂😭😂😭😭😂
KAL>JB

[CelticsUnite @CelticsUnite18]

Mikal Bridges went for 5 1RP and there’s people on this app saying it’s crazy Brad wants 4 for an MVP CANDIDATE.

Are we serious?

[Slim @Nick_Mich25]

We’ll see

[Fullcourtpass @Fullcourtpass]

People around the NBA almost unanimously believe that the Charlotte Hornets won the LaMelo Ball trade, per @BannedMacMahon
