Say Multipaul. You know T-Mac was painted with the same brush by the media? You know, him scoring all those points and his teams always underachieving? That article you're linking in supports your belief but... You seem to be attempting to build a house on a foundation of jello. Ball doesn't lie but people with too much time on their hands can come up with blog postings presenting a view supported on numbers but that view doesn't always mirror reality.Last edited by Apollo; Tue Feb 1, 2011, 05:08 PM.

i view statistics as simply a form of using existing data to forecast... and people that base arguments on it the Frankie Flowers of the board.

Multipaul wrote: View PostI'm just trying to keep it positive my bro, whats the point on hating all the time. If it was all hatin, lets talk Kleiza, Amir, DD, Weems, everyone. Everyone sucks equally this year, and Andrea has been sucking lately too. Doesn't mean he isnt a #1 draft pick with a helluva lot of talent, best player on our team in fact.

Apollo wrote: View PostYour example is of forecasting using data. Totally different. We're talking about a guy using data to tell me that Andrea Bargnani deserves to be in the all-star game over Dwight Howard. If I presented a stat suggesting that eternal happiness is tied to jumping off a cliff would you endorse jumping off a cliff or would you use logic to make a judgment call that made sense?
i don't think he was actually saying "THESE are your best players in the league"... that would just be stupid
but to more important matters.... eternal happiness, you say? where do i sign up?

heinz57 wrote: View Postwhat's it like to ask a blatantly leading question when you pretty much summed up what you think the correct answer should be in the form of your question?
Does someone not like it getting thrown back at them when they call others 'nerds' or 'Frankie Flowers' when they argue using stats?

By writing the article, he's showing his system is completely flawed, but that doesn't seem to be the point of the article.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!
