Dem 'Lytics Been Good to a Morey - FiveThirtyEight Release NBA Projections, Rockets W Clips L, more

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

East not as crazy

Pacers are gonna be way better than 39-43

 

[god shamgod]

Westbrook is still better for Houston than CP3 was last year based off health alone.

No he isn’t , they Will stagger harden and Westbrook like they did with cp3.westbrook is a downgrade in everything except rebounding

Then go playoff ban bet, if Clippers don't win more games than Rockets in regular season you miss playoffs, if Clippers win more I miss playoffs

Nah I’ll just bump the thread and quote you laughing. you get ghost when the rockets flop annually anyway

Edit and I’m saying clippers will go farther in the playoffs, rockets built for the regular season. I don’t care who has the better regular season record, clippers will advance farther in May/June

Lytics died in 2016, we all know this

As bad as russ shot last year, his ability to get to the rim and create for others is superior to CP3 at this point. And again, cP3 has missed 30+ games the past two seasons. Russ availability alone puts him over him.

FOH with analytics

But GSW being 4th seed is what i like to see

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

the whole model goes wack. And that's all because of them going off of that trash ass CARMELO bullshyt they created.

WRONG, sir

They now use CARMELO and DRAYMOND :mjthink:

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Half of first page is OP just replying to himself

Suns should be lower

Ive been saying Suns are gonna surprise a lot of casuals this year and these highly advanced cacalytics support that

The Coli almost burned to the ground this time last year when 538 and espn had Denver getting home court. Now they got us as #2 and nobody has problems with it. We’ve arrived

How do you get two high usage players to fit properly for a title run?

In theory it wont work unless one comes off the ball. Because Westbrook is not an off-ball threat, it'll have to be harden. Will Harden be willing to do this? Idk. But russ is still elite at getting to the rim and that puts alot of pressure on defenses. I can envision an offense where russ is the primary ballhandler in half-court sets and runs PNR with capela and have harden and PJ on the wings. What they cannot do is that your turn/my turn shyt. Also, russ needs to work on his mid-range jumper to capitalize on PNR.

Why would the Rockets take harden off the ball, though? I'm far from a Harden fan but he's better than Westbrook ON AND OFF the ball. He makes better decisions and has better vision.
