By pilonv1 Go To PostNBA DEC 2016 | In loving memory of Alex Len 11/24/16-11/25/16
Evan Turner signed a four-year, $70 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers after finally establishing himself in the NBA with the Boston Celtics.
“I was most definitely comfortable there,” Turner said. “Going through certain situations where there were coaches who didn’t comprehend my game and I wasn’t always in position to be comfortable sometimes. When you finally find that mixture of great basketball and off-the-court [things], you definitely don’t take it for granted.”
The Celtics have missed Turner while he hasn't quite found his place with the Blazers.
“It’s just the comfortability here and I think sometimes I worry too much about stepping on toes,” Turner said. “They have reassured me to play how I play and they will adjust. It’s always going to be a big adjustment getting the plays down. The pace of it [in the Western Conference] is crazy. The last couple of weeks I am fully getting our plays second nature to me, and once again now it’s just building the consistency.”

By diehard Go To PostDRtg is the basically the definition of not using a single statistic.He seemed to have no problem going to it 4 games into the season to shit on the Rockets. Portland in its current state is as close to the Rockets in DRtg, as the Rockets are to the Spurs.
But anyway, here's another one of reilo's favourite stats.
By diehard Go To PostDRtg is the basically the definition of not using a single statistic.DRtg is terrific as a team defense metric. Deplorable as an individual player metric.
DRtg for teams and five man lineups (with significant minutes) is awesome at telling you how effective a defense is. It does nothing to tell you how the defense did it, though. ORtg is the same, on that team wide and five man lineups level.
On an individual player level, ORtg can be somewhat useful, but it doesn't care about volume. That is why Tyson Chandler had the highest ORtg in the league for a couple years. It has other limitations, too, which is why I don't care to use it for individuals. A combination of TS%, USG%, and AST℅ tells me far more.

I haven't taken enough time to look at DBPM but my impression has been it is the least bad individual defensive metric to use, though it takes ages for it to settle down, iirc. I think that was the stat that needed over a season's worth of data in order to reach some statistical confidence level in its accuracy.
E: I'm not very well versed in formal statistics, so I could be using some terms incorrectly. There is something called a confidence level, though, and it is important to understand what it is and what it means.

i used to say that damian was kemba-west but kemba plays defense so i want to walk back from that a bit
By IWMTB19 Go To PostJahlil Okafor has a TRB% of 9% so far this year.What is the team's TRB% when he is on and off the court? That is how you identify guys who block out well and let their teammates get uncontested rebounds. Looking into those numbers and identifying communalities in a team's best and worst rebounding lineups is the best way to confidently say someone is good/bad at rebounding.
This is bad for a player who can't guard the pick-and-roll, can't shoot, and can't protect the rim.
His post skills are terrific for his age, but he's so trash at every other aspect of basketball right now.

You need to adjust that for teammate rebounding quality too though which is hard. But anyway.
76ers TRB%:
Jah on: 44.5%
Jah off: 49.3%
Which is pretty awful as well.
By Omzz Go To PostHawks loss
Ah, good they lost but I have nothing against them in particular, I was just happy the Raps took their rightful place as the 2 seed. Definitely not sweating the Hawks, we had the toughest SOS in the league over the first month, theirs was pretty easy. The schedule gets easier from here (though yet another Cavs game ahead) & the Raps should be able to maintain, so I'm not really concerned about anybody else's losses - except the Celts, because everybody picked them to beat us and I'm petty like that.
By IWMTB19 Go To PostYou need to adjust that for teammate rebounding quality too though which is hard. But anyway.Yeah, that's why I said to look at best and worst team rebounding % lineups and see if there are some common links among them. In this case, you would look at all the bad rebounding ones and see if they all have Okafor in them and/or if he is also constantly grouped with other poor rebounders.
76ers TRB%:
Jah on: 44.5%
Jah off: 49.3%
Which is pretty awful as well.
Thanks for posting the on/off, btw. That is, uhh, pretty damn bad and definitely leads credence to the thought that he does not help the team rebound.
Using advanced stats properly can take a lot of work and I hate it and am kind of jealous of the like five NBA employees who get paid big bucks to do it right.

Staples Center is gonna fuck with Dwight til he retires 😂
Of the top five players in PPG, Harden and Davis have the best shooting stats, imo.
Harden | 28.9 PPG | 62.2 TS%
Davis | 31.6 PPG | 60.5 TS%
Westbrook may have the worst among that grouping. The other two are DeRozan and Cousins.
Westbrook | 31.2 PPG | 54.7 TS%
Harden | 28.9 PPG | 62.2 TS%

By WWCHGT Go To PostIf Harden didn't take so many threes his efficiency would be absurdThe threes are part of why his efficiency is good, though. His eFG on them is 54.45%. That doesn't account for the fouls he draws on some attempts (which I don't know how to find) and how it opens up his driving game even more.
Like, that's the same as saying Davis should take fewer mid-range shots and 3's (he probably should) but it's hard to determine how many fewer and for what kind of other offensive action and how it would affect the other options available to him as well as wear-and-tear health concerns and probably other things I'm forgetting.
As long as Harden is shooting the three at a good percentage, and he is, then it's fine, imo.
e: this is another in my series of posts titled "Stats are hard, yo"

Still soft af
If the Magic never plan on letting Hezonja play again, I would take him on the Jazz.
edit: The Magic are 28th in SRS, why do they even care if Hezonja is struggling? They are fucking terrible regardless.
Also, Aaron Gordon having 54% of his shots come from 16 feet or further from the basket seems bad.

The Aaron Gordon at SF thing should probably stop.
Also, I realized yesterday that Anthony Bennet is on the Nets who have three guys injured, but he can't even get into the rotation and is playing for their d-league squad.

Philly played the Cavs hard last night, now tonight they're at Toronto without Embiid. Trap game, or slaughter waiting to happen?

Embiid is worth about 30 - 40 pts for that team.

I was trying to talk myself into watching it, but you might have talked me right out.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostI was trying to talk myself into watching it, but you might have talked me right out.It can be a good feeling watching your team dominate. On the other hand, they can lay an egg like the Pels last night and have that game be way too close for comfort.
I wish I could be a scam artist and get paid as much money to be a giant asshole/douchebag/fuckboi like Jason Whitlock
By WWCHGT Go To PostWHat's the stat that determines how hard a team's schedule is? Strength of Schedule?Yeah. Keep in mind that the worst teams will have a SoS that seems harder than it really is because they are the ones that gave people their wins. Vice versa for the best teams.
e: it's a smaller factor in the NBA where people play dozens of games than when compared to football where you might a single dozen of games

By WWCHGT Go To PostWHat's the stat that determines how hard a team's schedule is? Strength of Schedule?Another interesting thing to look at when judging how good a team may really be relative to their record is SRS, overall Net RTG, and Pythagorean Wins. They all tell slightly different things but are good indicators for determining if a team is over- or under-performing relative to their record.
By Kibner Go To PostOh, hey, Michael Moore just tweeted something kind of related to this:
This is pretty cool, it lines up almost exactly with the rankings in my head...except I'd have Indy & the Lakers a bit higher...maybe Bucks over Miami.
I think differential is probably the single best indicator of how good a team "really" is. You can really spot who the pretenders in playoff positions are (*cough, Knicks*). It tends to align almost exactly with record in the end.
