100%! Nothing worse than talking basketball with a young fan who clearly doesn't and hasn't watched the game much and goes mostly by stats!

Mavs constantly getting between 70 and 80 from Luka and Kyrie and they barely above .500

Knicks should sign Muscala even though their season is basically going down the toilet.
Rather see him get minutes than Sims.

Props to Spida and the Cavs for pulling that one out.

Muscala was pretty decent as a stretch 5 a year or so back. I think he's worth a look but his production this year has not been good.

Shaq pulling the race card because he can't think of anything smart to say
Loved Shaq the player, but no one is Shaqtin more a fool than he is with his trash takes.
Remember when the panel was talking Knicks he said we could not compete with the Cavs.

Does he have a pulse?
Can he give 6 good fouls?

Lefkoe and Shaq are friends off camera, so he was messing with him, but that was a cringe thing to say on TV regardless.
To his point, I think data is a great tool to use, but there's nuances to the game that you really can't quantify and there has to be a balance. I've seen guys who are analytically elite shooters sh*t their pants in big moments and guys who aren't hit huge shots against the odds. Every situation is different, every game flows differently, and analytical data doesn't factor in the fact that these guys are human beings.

I mean I have had a sig for a decade stating my opinion on stats
Stats are often the objective piece, but you have to discuss the subjective.
I had a friend who would debate Kobe and basically due to poor efficiency, categorized him as the #2 to Pau. There are things like gravity etc that star players, superstar players, have that influence the quality of shots for others that simple stats don't account for.

Re: Around the NBA - Continued… again
Zion might be a worse defender than Bojan. The guy barely moves on defense.
I'm apart of a Knicks podcast! You Should check it out!
