The 2023-2024 NBA Season

The new rules: Shai has to average 8-10 RPG if he wants to win MVPs now. That’s how you have to juke the analytics. In that world they give a Big 1.8 points for the same assist Shai gets 1 point for. The other side is Shai gets 1.7/1.8 points for every rebound he gets because he’s a guard. This is what happens when you invite math fags to determine shit that matters in pro sports.

Math fags, I really think that needs to be copywrited

“Something big” - voters stop leaning exclusively on math formulas to determine shit in sports.

All that VORP won a title last year, and has a great shot to repeat. Seems pretty valuable to me.

 

[msgkings322]

Problem with mvp voters is they pick and choose when to focus on the word valuable which leads to lazy voting

Sabonis and Brunson are pretty valuable but more so than Jokic/SGA/Embiid/Curry/LeBron/Edwards/Kawhi/Tatum?

 

[fightinfunbags]

That’s when they’ve ignored the math & facts

The problem isn’t the math, it’s the conclusions created by the math. An assist is an assist. A rebound is a rebound. The game is played differently now. Over valuing these metrics based on what position you play is just straight retarded analysis. Who defined these rules? Guys that look like this. This is the guy the league media is allowing to tell them what has value in basketball.

And maybe they’ll get a path with 3 play in teams again.

Too funny

Some NBA trivia for ya:

Who are the only 3 players to win MVP and DPOY in the same season? No fair looking it up.

Jordan
Hakeem
Kareem

I think I likely got at least one

You got two. Not Kareem

I’ll let others play for the final name. I just caught it at the right time.

You make silly arguments like DT. Argue just to argue. Team record is important with mvp so including curry in this is dumb. Kawhi stats doesn’t meet mvp criteria and same goes for ant

I already explained why Tatum isn’t that valuable

Embiid is the mvp if he doesn’t get hurt

LOL you cry a lot. Argue your takes or don’t, but don’t cry when people don’t just nod along with everything you say

asking if curry isn’t more valuable than Sabonis/Brunson when you know team record play a huge factor in mvp voting is a dumb comment

 

[bksballer89]

Also 26/5/5 or 24/6/4 will never win you mvp in this version of the nba

Desmond Bane back and JJJ might play as well

That game in Memphis won't be as easy as @thunderc thought it would be

Yeah, why did they pick such easy teams to play? They should’ve known that the only way it counts as a true win was picking the hardest route possible since they control it.

You could ask why the supposed “good teams” in the league lost to those play-in teams, but that’s probably too complex for you.

What’s got into the Rockets lately? Won 5 in a row

They can possibly cost the spurs a first by jumping Toronto as well

Young team finally putting it together??

I thought They were underachieving

No road games are easy
