If you say so. But nothing you’ve said gives me any faith that’s what you meant. On the contrary, you expressed sympathy for Barkley, who’s said some of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard about statistical analysis. When confronted by someone misusing PER, instead of pointing out what an outlier that metric was, you…

It sounds like a religious order lol.
Most meaningful advanced analytics start with point differential when a player is on vs off the court. If a player isn’t helping his team, advanced metrics of production and efficiency will capture that. Not surprisingly, Hickson’s -4.60 RPM suggests he was hurting his team and one of the worst players in basketball…
He asked what a “serious” fan would do. That guy in your link obviously doesn’t understand advanced analytics any more than you do. PER is just one of many metrics and not without its flaws. It’s also an outlier where Bargnani is concerned. Other more meaningful metrics agree with the eye test that he’s much less…

I believe the Plumlees number 4500 now.
I sure hope not. There’s nothing about “new owners” on the Google website, just a reference to when the purchase/setup must occur. My reading is anyone who activates a new Chromecast gets the discount. I’ll be pissed if that’s not the deal.

Possibly, but did you watch the Warriors-Celtics game? C’s were very physical. By the end of that second OT, guys were as exhausted and banged up as I’ve ever seen them. I’m not sure a purely quantitative analysis of how teams play after OT games would capture the qualitative considerations at play here.
Exactly. Thank you.
It’s not just the eight minutes, though. No NBA team has ever gone undefeated on seven-game road trip, and this was game seven.
True, but the Bucks weren’t at the end of a seven-game road trip.
Averaging a triple double for a season is impressive, like winning the triple crown in baseball. But both are more statistical trivia than meaningful metrics of production and efficiency.

Not since the great Judith Light has there been such an eloquent reminder that Men Don’t Tell:
Hmmmmmmmmmmm... yeahhhhh....
Or “Nelly” for the bandaid!
Why not? Because HIV is forever even if it doesn’t kill you! Risk is a function of two components, probability and harm. Even discounting the harm of HIV for the low probability of occurrence, the cost of unprotected sex with someone HIV+ is unacceptably high.
Not to mention, HIV is a chronic disease even when not fatal.
Gabbert was bad for most of the game. Niners gave CHI every chance to win. Bears just wanted the tank more.
