So I'm to believe that every criticism of WCJ is valid and a concern and Goga is a precious little lamb that can't have pushback when things start getting attributed to him that shouldn't be attributed to him?
People cant make wild statements like "Goga lineups have been the best" with zero data to back it up, while saying WCJ is not good for us, we have to move on, etc. If we're moving on from someone, there literally has to be ZERO doubt that the replacement is going to be better.
Come on, Ben.
Bensational wrote:He has a comparable netrtg to our current WCJ/Harris lineup, but you excluded that from your lineup comps for some reason?
Nothing is excluded, this is from Cleaning The Glass. If there are lineups out there that aren't included, then there probably wasn't enough minutes. Also I'm not sure what you mean by "he" has it. A one man lineup has comparable net ratings?

Bensational wrote:If Goga takes WCJ’s spot, the numbers say we wouldn’t need to make any other improvements and we’d either be the same or potentially better. Wendell gets more criticism than he deserves, but that doesn’t mean Goga should be criticised even more harshly to level the playing field.
If you are talking about replacing a solid center with a good contract, there has to be
damn good reason to replace him. A small sample size of Goga games isn't enough for that. I'm pointing out that you can't just put Goga out there because we had a 9 game winning streak with him. He can't stretch the floor, he gets exposed on switches. Those are two big reasons why.
If people are questioning having Claxton to replace WCJ, then Goga being questioned is
completely fair.
If you're saying that Isaac/Moe benefit from 2nd units more, that's fine, but wouldn't you also say that Goga benefited by catching teams by surprise for a few games because he wasn't scouted like the regular 10-11 people in our lineups?
