I don't care too much who wins the ROY but I'm looking at the stats and Simmons has better numbers except in TS% where they are tied. I've barely seen Mitchell play but the games I saw he was an undisciplined chucker who didn't add anything to defense.

If you want to do narrative instead just do narrative though that doesn't make sense to me either. It's a narrative award based on a small cabal of basketball reporters talking to themselves on podcasts.

Edit

Mitchell has a better obpm too

Toronto has increased their 3pa by 33% over last year. That's really impressive considering the roster is somewhat stable.

Assists are up 26.8%.

FTA are down 10.5% which makes sense.

Um his efg% on the season is 51% on 19.5 ppg after starting off the season slow. Jimmy Butler is averaging 22.4 on an efg% of 52%, is he also overhyped?

I mean if you wanna look at PER or WS Simmons is better but Donovan's USG is also 29% compared to his 23%.

USG% is a dumb stat to compare when Ben Simmons literally LEADS THE LEAGUE in touches per game. And he's behind only Westbrook, Harden, Wall, Walker, and Lillard in time of possession.

Also, we learned last year how important triple doubles are, and Ben has the most of any rookie since Magic and Oscar, therefore,

Bill Walton: Jusuf Nurkic! That's a big dude out there! That's the best I've ever seen him play!
Dave Pasch: This is the first time you've ever seen him play.
Bill Walton: Both of those things are correct.

The way that Doc reached the Celtics was an application of "us vs the world, this is an extreme brotherhood, there is no tomorrow, this game is what matters" which worked well and got a lot out of a team of vets known to have bad attitudes who were at the end of their run. Unfortunately for Rondo that was the beginning of his run and he's never been able to shift to having a somewhat neutral mentality and he is still basically in 2008 Celtics mode constantly, which you can't totally blame him for since he doesn't have anything else. But it's still extremely funny he's fighting Isaiah Thomas on the Lakers because of comments he made on the Cavs about a tribute video.

The Celtics winning that one championship in the 2000s really fueled a lot of insufferable personalities, careers, and the sort of "I only won one but ima act like I won four" type of grandstanding.
Might as well have just made that one another for the Chauncey Pistons or even Adam Morrison. They keep it low key. Would've saved the Clippers, IT, every team that has subsequently ever signed Rondo, and the league a lot of grief.

So is it a lot or is it one person or is this just a way to make yourself feel great about the Spurs winning a lot of titles in recent NBA history. Your message is a little muddy

Maybe, although the common denominator for this Clippers team that is somehow 500 is Doc. It's hard to tell what coaching does and if Dokmo posts insider info about him playing Minesweeper on a Windows 98 laptop every second a camera isn't him I wouldn't be shocked but I feel like if coaching is a thing, getting a team of misfits to play 500 ball is probably something.

At the end of the game when the Warriors were intentionally fouling, at least twice Dave Pasch called out the shooter's FT percentage ("Aminu is an 80% FT shooter"), followed a second later by Walton, completely serious, asking how well this guy shoots free throws. It was beautiful.

Also Bill incorrectly called out Sean Elliott's Memorial Day Miracle as beating the Lakers. C'mon Bill, the team he beat is right there in front of you!

(His heel was down, by the way. Wrong call.)
