Nick Young kicks his leg out for the and one. Of course Reggie Miller says he got his legs taken out. Smh
 
God I can't stand Reggie Miller.
 
Oh CMon almost everyone wanted to keep JJ Hickson around on this Blazers team.
 
Damn Chuck went IN on Morey and his analytics bullcrap on Inside the NBA. He is shitting all over the Rockets. Fucking love it!
 
Morey should shut his flipping mouth. Dude is a pretty bad GM, definitely not the worst, but very far from the best.
 
Barkley just said Memphis Grizzlies are the best team in the western conference.
 
Harden has to score 40+ just to keep the Rockets in the game.

Like last year, the Rockets look like an upper-tier .....treadmill team.

Love it.

Lol, Chuck looked and sounds like an idiot. Morey baited him because Chuck always trashes the rockets. Always. He holds a grudge against the Owner here, which is why Morey used the word "Biased" and Chuck went on to prove his bias. It's been known forever, even mentioned in the front office beyond Morey that it's known he holds a grudge against the team.

So yeah, Analytics are bad, although the Heat use them, the Spurs, Mavs...oh did I mention that the Spurs use them as well? I think that's proof enough right there. Presti is Morey's rival when it comes to the stuff, Charles is just bitter because he'll never get a GM job. Especially after what he said tonight, no smart owner actually wants to move backwards.

Charles can't even comprehend analytics.

As for Morey being lucky because of being in a big market...because Harden came as a FA right? Nah, he was traded for (Morey used ANALYTICS to do so) who else would want Kevin Martin and Lamb, but another GM that uses Analytics (and also drafts well). Morey went after Dwight BEFORE Harden but Dwight wasn't interested in playing for a team that wasn't close to competing. Morey drafts players in the late round like Parsons and targets guys like Dragic, Lowry, and Asik BEFORE they even are thought of. I laugh at the thought of him being a bad GM. Yeah, the dude traded for Lowry who was a backup PG and Asik who as a backup center and guess why? Because his set of advance stats told him it would help, Asik was a clear case of this and people laughed at the thought of him being a good center in the league.

You guys laugh and don't realize your own team uses analytics.

Webber is wrong. That's not what the Doctor said, do you want me to provide the quotes for you of what the doctor said once again? Webber was actually referring to microfracture, which Dwight hasn't had because he did not tear his meniscus or any cartilage in his knee for the 10th time.

Bro, you can try and spin that any way you want, but being out 6-8 weeks isn't something minor. Nor is having bone marrow injections

I actually agree with Charles to an extent. Think about this.... Wesley Matthews came into the league without a 3 point shot. Then Matthews developed a shot. I think analytics works for "role players" when you already have an established core, but it doesn't work for building the core.
 
Love Charles. So damn funny. and fuck the rockets!
 
Not the first time Morey has tweeted something stupid. I bet he ends up like that chick who got fired for tweeting "On my way to Africa, hope I don't get Aids!".

I'm not spinning anything, you are. I've presented the facts numerous times and you just straight up ignore them. So believe what you want.

Anyone that uses analytics do not use them for everything. Charles is in no way right to this. Especially that the Warriors and Hawks use analytcis too. They are a tool not a dogmatic religious idea.

Except that what Morey tweeted is true, Charles is incredibly biased towards the Rockets. So when Charles says some dumb stuff like "Rockets are the worst defensive team in the NBA." he's again just showing his bias. "No team that allows 118 points is a contender." except that his 1993 team did so 11 times lol. Great point Charles.

Okay so you believe Howard's injury is minor? The injury where he injected bone marrow and is out for 6-8 weeks? Like that minor? I don't have to spin anything. Being out that long is either a serious injury or a broken bone. So which is it?

Everyone uses analytics, but his point was "advanced analytics" doesn't build a champion, talent does. I 100% agree with this.

We all agree Charles doesnt know shit, but his point about advanced stats is true. Sorry

LULZ! You sound like Blazer fans whenever Chuck would knock us for being a jump-shooting team.

Not sure that bringing up a team from 22 years ago, when defenses were different and rules were different, is such a good point to make.

A better example would've been to say that the 13 Heat gave up 118 once (in double OT though) and the 14 Spurs gave up 118 once too (also in double OT).

In the game where the Heat gave up 118+ (129 actually), they gave up 112 in regulation. Their season high otherwise was 116.

In the game where the Spurs gave up 118+ (118 exactly), they gave up 99 in regulation. So 115 was their high otherwise.

Not sure that's the bar we need to set though.
 
I think there might've been what, 3 people who wanted him to stay. I think it was a very small majority who wanted to keep him.

But than again, this is from the guy who thinks Damian drinks like a fish.
