Stephen A. Smith says ANALYTICS leading to a paucity of African-Americans in NBA head coaching jobs

[Loose]

The Spurs use analytics, jackass.

So did the heat, it's the reason why wade and Bron stopped talking so many 3s

Do Jeff Green and Rudy Gary have the same contract?

They could've gotten Rudy for a bargain deal like Sacramento. Their numbers told them Tayshaun was a better fit and they could win without him. With Rudy they were a championship contender.

Analytics is so great, the Sixers have won 30 games in 2 years.

The Grizzlies traded Rudy Gay for Tayshaun Prince because of analytics. The very next year they traded Tayshaun for Jeff Green, a poor man's Rudy Gay. I bet you they wish they had Rudy now.

The Sixers lose games because they haven't yet found an elite player. From a defensive standpoint they're actually quite good given how green their talent is and how awful they are on offense.

and all things considered, Memphis doesn't really miss Gay,. They're renting Jeff Green to do something Sacramento's paying Rudy Gay nearly $13 mil per year to do. Gay in Memphis was Average with a capital A.

They were in the same exact spot with rudy gay

they're mutually exclusive. Great players do well in terms of advanced stats. Find one that doesn't.

Has Memphis gotten any worse since making that trade?

Here I'll answer for you, no.

They're better off with whatever cap flexibility that trade gave them and splitting his minutes between role players.

Advanced stats have people going back and questioning how good Allen Iverson was. I don't think its that cut and dry.

AI had a career per of just under 21 (and that was a chucking combo guard who turned over the ball a lot). I'd say that's bullshyt.

after reading through the thread, i had to re-listen to what he said again to make sure i wasnt trippin....where did yall get he said anything about blacks not being able to use analytics?.....he didnt...all he said was this is the new (fill in the blank) excuse to keep from hiring black coaches....a feeling black coaches expressed to him....that's all he said.....

damn, i know he spews a lot of bullshyt, but yall try too hard to slander the man even when it's not called for lol....

How are they better off? They're not going to win anything. They'll have great regular seasons, but when it counts they have no closer. After this season they'll have no Marc, no Jeff Green, and no ring. Back to square one.

I think with this year's team and experience, Rudy would've been the missing piece. Not that it matters now, with Iron Mike out.

How is this any different from when they were overpaying Gay?? LOL

And you're jumping the gun saying Gasol isn't coming back

Most overused word ever when describing guards.....That, and ball dominant......

I guess you rather have had Korver, or Kirilenko

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

you cacs only seem to cry when i make threads exposing ya'll tactics.

The only thing you're exposing is yourself. You're a waste of a black skin.

The numbers tell you their defense is good. My eyes tell me their defensive numbers are good because a lot of teams don't play hard against them.

This analytics movement is just another tool by white supremacists to try and take over an industry from black folks.

This to our of thinking, from its, killed me.

99% of ppl making big money off the NBA are not black...
Just because 70% of the players are black doesn't mean we ruin our
