e: i like how the Pacers are dead neutral. it seems fitting

Defense is for nerds, losers, dweebs, and all manner of dorks. Besides, the 2001 lakers won the championship with the 22nd best drating in the league which means things are looking up for ol new jersey

Also Coach of the Year. The coaching job Lebron has done I have not seen mentioned much, but what he has done to get the Lakers playing together after a short off-season and with lots of changed faces has been remarkable. He could be in the HOF just as a head coach.

Coaching doesn't matter though

It's so apt.

The dead neutral franchise since they came over from the ABA.

I'm ok with it. Will never win a championship, making it out of the first round is their peak. As long as they are entertaining I'm happy.

So I've done a bunch of reading since you posted about it and I also started lurking the discord and its wildly fascinating poo poo. I hope you make a bunch of money, but the dudes throwing down thousands of dollars* for gifs of Lebron dunking because they are certain someone is willing to buy their gif at 50k are loving wild.

I know this thing existed before GME, but it's clear they have been heavily influenced by GME and some dudes are going to get even more insanely burned, only instead of holding 300 shares of GME purchased at 400 that they took out a mortgage for, it'll be like 25 identical gifs of Luka making a layup.

Which is really funny.

They're already like a third of the way through the season they would have to fall a long way! It's not like they're getting lucky either beyond health they are blowing people out of the water. Only like two games in their current 20-1 stretch or whatever it is have even been withing single digits.

Yeah the Jazz are legit great. Maybe the coaches will have time to work out something to slow the Jazz down a bit in the ASG break but no one has time to do that right and they may have a 4 or 5 game lead going into ASG and that is usually enough.

Devonte' Graham is pretty good tho

He's been sky high in Rpm all year, I don't know why and I can't say I've watched Charlotte more than 3 and a half times to know eye test wise.
Sometimes guys just bump up because of lineup quirks, sometimes guy would be much higher than you think they deserve because of priors (clippers Deandre Jordan), and sometimes guys would be in the top 5 because of network effects (draymond every year of the warriors dynasty). Unfortunately past years are always missing huge swathes of players because ESPN doesn't really care, or you could get a better picture.

But yeah it's a pretty good stat for judging defensive impact and seeing which rising tides are lifting boats, and seeing how good the best players on bad teams are with their teammates adjusted away.

Some people use RAPM now but I don't know where they go to check it.

One of my favorite thing about RPM is how clear it makes the value of the best players, especially the best 2's and 3's, with say 4 standout guys, 8 above average guys, and 20 interchangable guys. PFs might be the most equal impact of all positions. Centers and Point guards having biggest difference between competent starter and average backup. This is just stuff I'm pulling out of my rear end, but take a look and you may find it to feel true for you too.

Devonte’s counting stats are obviously bad but there are a few mitigating things. He’s been solid for most of the year but his shooting in the first 10 games or so were so horrific they tanked his percentages. He also shoots so much that teams have to respect him even if he’s not as accurate as last year, and he has the passing ability to punish teams when they overplay him

It is really fascinating and really dumb. Now that I’m up $300, I’m gonna try a couple more packs to see what happens, then try to figure out how to actually convert what’s left into real money.
