Game Thread GAME# 28: BLAZERS @ PELICANS - FEBRUARY 17, 2021 - WEDNESDAY, 6:00, NBCSNW

I think the reason you are seeing Hood play more is he is a better ball handler. He is someone that can bring the ball up and run the offense. I think that is a part of the Game Nas has to work on.

Hood is a better ball handler and probably a better passer, but he sure isn't running the offense well

if this is the reason Hood plays over Little, it's just another reason to slam Olshey for his stubborn refusal to add a decent backup PG

I thought he had more points than that.

 

[Natebishop3]

So why is their data different?

This is actually outdated, doesn't include last night or the OKC game. https://www.nba.com/stats/players/clutch-traditional/?sort=PTS&dir=-1&Season=2020-21&SeasonType=Regular Season&PerMode=Totals

Dame is at:

82 pts (1st)
63.2% FG% (1st)
59% 3pt% (1st)
100% FT
12-3 (1st)

it's a mismatch:

I was talking about last night only, not this season. Liked the idea of Hood posting up Reddick.

Granted, neither were great.

 

[Tince]

Seriously? You brought up a communalative stat (VORP) that he needs to play more minutes to improve? As well as a .146 winshare/48 as if that's not good?

If you think Nas has been playing EXTREMELY well, then I respectly disagree your opinion.

For me, he has very much exceeded expectations, but that doesn't make him an all-star level player in my book.

 

[Tince]

But is there enough difference in variance between players to be detectable by casually watching games? More likely a 40% guy’s variance feels a lot better than a 30% guy’s variance and the latter gets dubbed inconsistent.

I could test it given two players, one notably inconsistent and one consistent. I’m not sure what statistic would best measure consistency. Variance. But variance in what? FG% game to game would be nice but the player who shoots more would tend to have lower variance in FG%. So I’m not sure how to measure it..

Love this post! Would be a good offseason project that I would be down to contribute in as well!

That one guy on here claimed he was the next Kawhi and will be “elite”....sigh

I mean.... he could be? I don't have a great read on his potential because of how few minutes the dude has gotten.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Amazing!

so fucking what.... geez....

 

[blazerfan11]

Lonzo said the play called at the end of the game was a pick and roll with B.I. and Z , but the Blazers broke it up.

That's totally fucking ridiculous, everyone knows he's the next Pippen.

That wasn't the point of my post.

Hey buddy.

This is like the 10th post in the past two days aimed @THE HCP . Did we make up and I wasn't aware?

Pretty sure you guys should sit down have a cup of coffee or beer if you desire and bury it. I read what you guys say and it looks to me like you both are really just at an impasse.
I would be willing to bet that within 5 mins you would be laughing and it would be over.
But that’s just the way I see it.

 

[tlongII]

Is this a public poll? Who in the fuck voted for Zach Collins for best overall defender on THIS YEARS Blazers squad???????

Nobody has scored against him this year.

 

[Tince]

That wasn't the point of my post.

Good to know.

Been trying to make "The List" for a while now. I'll try real hard to move up! I'm no quitter.

I thought that was Blevins.

That no quit mentality just cost you your spot on the list
