@databallr …2/ it creates a false assumption that production (i.e. PTS or TS%) scales linearly with impact. The flaw in that assumption is that opportunity cost is ignored. Brown’s volume redistributes the offense more than it adds to it, and lineup data reflects that idea.

[Luke King (LOK) @WhoIsLOK_]

@databallr 1/ Using tbe box score to estimate RAPM is fairly effective, but I find there to be an under discussed limitation in the methodology itself. That being the linear nature of the regression. Despite linear models being highly predictive and interpretable…

[Luke King (LOK) @WhoIsLOK_]

@douglaschu_ @automaticnba @NoaDalzell If that hypothesis is accurate then there should still be a more significant signal in 2pt scoring. I haven’t looked into it so maybe that is indeed the case.

[Luke King (LOK) @WhoIsLOK_]

@automaticnba @NoaDalzell What makes 3-point rate especially meaningful here? If we only looked at the home vs away impact on 2-pointers, would the disparity be even larger? My guess is that improved travel conditions are the primary driver, which also correlates with injuries ofc.

@automaticnba I’d like to open a discussion if this is the most impactful postseason run of all time. He has a +10.5 EPM right now.

@databallr Damn, Wade?
