Kyrie hurt? now KD really needs more help. Can they still sign someone during playoffs?
 
Connaughton can still not make an open 3 consistently; his biggest weakness.

Great article that generally gives credit to both sides of the argument. The SF Giants are a prime example. While I have no doubt analytics helped them win 3 World Series in 5 years, they had an old school manager who, more often than not went with his personal experiences and knowledge of the game, his gut, and the occasional gamble when he was making a move. You can’t argue with the results. Those teams had very good players, but arguably only one is probably a HOFer. It was how the manager used them. The current administration has one of the most analytics driven GMs (and Coach) in MLB. The current team is mostly a bunch of no name, low average hitters. The bullpen is a hot mess. But the team currently has the best (or one of the best) records in MLB, because they are meeting or exceeding the reasons they were signed for (based on analytics). So yeah, analytics has it’s place in sports. But so do all the little intangibles that don’t show up in a box score. Why they apparently have to be mutually exclusive is beyond me……

I think along with posey, Mad Bum is gonna get in.
 
KD needs a super team just to win. Dude can’t carry a team lol

Probably some people would call management of Cleveland Indians "super nerds". They operate every year on one of the lowest budgets, they trade their stars when they are almost beyond team control. But somehow they stay in contention every year. Right now they have the lowest payroll in baseball and also the youngest team but are somehow still in second place in their division. (Although I'm not sure how long they can keep it up as 3 of their 5 starting pitchers average about 2 innings per start!)

Similar to the A's.

Personally I think Crawford is more likely than MadBum to make the HOF, but at the end of the day neither will. But then, they’ve really lowered the standards/requirements over the years……..now back to your regularly scheduled thread……
 
 
I'm sorry, but you don't call that a flagrant 2 on Jokic when elimination is on the line.
 
Jokic GONE FISHING!


He deserved it -
And what an embarrassment on the NBA seeing their MVP ejected from the playoffs - LOL
