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

[Barry Sanders]

that are all former players....they werent studying stats you nitwit they played the game

the players that are old enuff probally didnt use these...so im sure some would be skeptical

they played the game fool. so you telling me during practices and meeting they werent shown analytics ?

 

[AVXL]

Bushes please. Can't we revoke this guys thread making privileges? Is the back to back WOAT now suggesting black people are too dumb to use analytics?

Fixed for accuracy

 

[Barry Sanders]

I totally agree. at the end of the day, they're useful, but the name of the game is still getting the best players playing at the highest level.

And who is saying otherwise?

Analytics heavy teams still have yet to win a ring, and it'll stay that way. The analytics heavy Rockets just made it to the second round finally. OKC is watching from the couch. The Sixers love analytics and they're the worst team in the NBA. Don't give me the Spurs, they have 3 hall of famers.

Apparently Spoelstra got the Heat job because he was heavy into analytics.

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.

Hell naw, as someone who was living in Memphis at the time let me tell you, Rudy Gay was fukking up. nikka would get that look in his eye and come down the court without even thinking of getting the ball to Z-Bo. You can only tolerate 18 foot fadeaway bricks for so long.

Exactly what is trying to tell yall

What is Paucity

That feeling you get when you can stick your dikk in a paper towel roll and not touch the sides

 

[Bilz]

The rise of analytics only leads to the discrimination of dumb people. Fukk anyone that tries to make it a racial thing.

SAS really seems like the dude who learned the SAT word of the day, and spent all of first period trying to find a way to use it in a sentence before lunch.

Oh you don't know what it means? maybe you should acclimate your lexis to make room for such vernacular

Michael Eric Dyson the same way. Sounds like Damon Wayans doing that UNCF skit from In Living Color.

50% of the head coaches in the NBA in 2014 was black. All but Doc Rivers got fired or whatever.

I just think whites are better coaches

 

[Absolut]

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.

They are. Better education, and they're used to watching the game from a Coach's perspective versus a player's perspective like a black guy. Analytic are the new blueprint, get with it, or get out.
