Game 59 - Utah Jazz 94 - Toronto Raptors 104

[JWash]

Doesn't the game thread say Utah?

Oh ok. It's just because your post came right after one about golden state lol so it seemed like you were talking about them.

Your wrong. He was good for us at the beginning of the year. +/- does not define good basketball. There's more to the game than stats.

Just out of curiousity; what measurement should be used?

Because, ignoring +/-, even when Scola's been good ... the team's been better without him on the court. Something that is also visibly seen with the eye test. Yes, there's more to basketball then +/- ... but by literally [almost] every empirical measure as well as the eye test, Scola hasn't been good.

Is he a bad player? Absolutely not. Is he being placed in a role that people have been saying would be a bad fit for him since the pre-season? Yes.

The funniest thing is that his justification for Patterson not being that good is stats.

So Scola's bad stats don't matter, but Patterson's bad stats TOTALLY matter.

I don't have them in the finals personally. Idk why, no logic just a gut feeling but I think they're going to choke.

I'm taking the field.

The only team capable of beating healthy golden state in 7 is San Antonio. They are the closest thing to impossible to beat at home that we have seen in our lifetime of team sports

That's because Scola provides all those "intangibles".

Also the field actually pays better than just taking golden state which is unprecedented lol. You should slap some money down i think its up to +130

You don't have a platform to talk about stats. You still think analytics and +/- are the same thing.

At this point I'm almost positive Christian is dwane casey.

Cause everybody here has the platform to talk about pro coaching? Do we have some retired pro coaches that post here?

Do you have to be an nba player to talk about the players? Do you have to be a professional rapper to comment on a drake or eminem album? Do you have to be to a politician to give your view on Trudeau?

So you're saying it's OK for Christian to talk about analytics?

No because you have to at least have a basic understanding of those examples I mentioned to comment on them

A friendly reminder that the forum rules clearly state that fellow posters should not be the topic of conversation, and that differing opinions should be respected.

Chances we see a 10-man rotation tonight with Thompson logging minutes?

So you have to pass some sort of test to comment on Drake?
