I’m trying to think of an analogy that cspam regulars would understand and I think this thread is if like a local DSA had one obnoxious trot who would never shut up and made all the meetings awful because the whole thing just became arguing against his obnoxious bullshit, so he finally moved to a new town and started a new group to “teach people about socialism” but it’s actually just his very specific brand and everything he said was mostly just rehashing arguments with the DSA people that they were no longer there to argue against what I’m saying is that Jokic and Curry were easily the two best offensive players in the NBA this year and it wasn’t particularly close

if any of you poor souls want to understand basketball at a deep level, I recommend this excellent YouTube channel. has both breakdowns of contemporary players and an amazing series analyzing the greatest peaks, so if someone says “don’t you think Kobe was the greatest ever” you can have some info to tell them they’re a loving idiot this is the most recent one: https://youtu.be/iuO1iGP5L7I

"best player" is a lot more vague than who's having the best season. the players having the best season are pretty clearly luka/giannis and i'd put tatum third. it's tough to evaluate jokic because he's playing so differently than last year, both in terms of where he puts his effort and the playcalls in terms of running PNR or DHO sets (where his role is primarily playmaking) instead of a lot of dedicated post-up sets (where his role is primarily scoring unless/until a team sends a double). last year he averaged 28/14/8, and in the game that just ended, he posted 8/6/14, +29 in 27 minutes.

a new study bible! posted:you jokic fans are absurd. he rarely plays with his back to the basket. 90 percent of his possessions are passes from the corner of the key or layups. lmfao just say you don't watch the nuggets dude it's ok embiid, constant back to the basket guy, leads the league in post-ups this season with 57. jokic, who never ever posts up, has 54 last year jokic had more made field goals off post-ups than embiid did

fart simpson posted:are these made up stats? offensive rating is a decent all-in-one efficiency metric (so it gives high scores to low-volume bigs). defensive rating has major issues and should basically be ignored. ast/TO really needs to be combined with knowing how many assists or it's kinda useless. Hauser has 8:1 ratio because he literally has a total of eight assists and one turnover. not per game, total. looking him up on bbr (i don't watch celtic games) he's playing 75% of his minutes at PF, he has a sky-high TS% at 15% usage and 15mpg. 7/8 of his two-point field goals (again, not per game, total) are assisted, and every one of his 26 3-point field goals. so, combining all this info, not one stat shows "this guy is amazing" or "this guy sucks." you can figure out his profile, that of an up-and-coming stretch 4 who's been knocking down his 3s at an excellent rate and that the celtics don't ask to do too much as far as creation or playmaking.

a new study bible! posted:I don’t think you are being genuine here. NBA may count a post up attempt as any time you back your defender down in the post, but my point is that Jokic isn’t trying to score off the post up, which is where the FT attempt is coming from, he’s passing out of them. no, this isn't true. if jokic isn't doubled in the post, he goes one-on-one and looks to score. if the opposing team sends a double (as OKC decided to do in their games this year, and as the clippers infamously did the entire 7-game series in the bubble), then jokic looks to pass. saying he doesn't have post moves is just beyond absurd and you deserve to be made fun of for it. he even has a specific post-up move that he invented that has its own name https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUYTzXnHwtg this year he seems to have worked on the right-to-left version when previously he only ever went left-to-right (because it was invented because of an ankle injury) https://videos.nba.com/nba/pbp/media/2022/10/21/0022200026/610/fa24365a-8ff1-642a-2bd1-b328636d57da_1280x720.mp4 if teams leave him one-on-one in the post, especially if it's clutch situations where the team needs a bucket, he will absolutely look to score. https://videos.nba.com/nba/pbp/media/2022/11/07/0022200154/619/4a6b4df8-7f5b-8e7c-d2d6-1d91cca81b8d_1280x720.mp4
