 this year the Spurs are 4-0 against Cleveland and Golden State with an average margin of victory of 20.8. Let's see if the Spurs smash GSW tonight. I don't think they will. I think its going to be a close low-scoring (by 2017 standards) game. | ||

Lucky, there are people around here to pay attention to outcomes its related to my previous post about xRAPM. which extends back to 1965 in the search for measuring offensive prowess. mistakes? i thought tonight's game would be a close low scoring affair. | ||

The guy basically Googles with some keywords that fit his "narrative-of-the-day" to back it up and then waits for the other jimmy or someone else to get all hot and bothered. If somebody points out a mistake he writes it off with an obnoxious smiley. Case closed, there's nothing left to discuss. OK back to basketball - CP3 has no shot at the MVP award this year. He basically missed the race when he got injured last time plus Clippers aren't as good this year as people want them to be. No respectable basketball sources give him chance this season. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1521679-why-chris-paul-has-no-business-being-in-mvp-discussion /sarcasm | ||

In particular Eastern Conference playoff teams are doing worse against the West compared to last year. Eastern Conference playoff teams as a group are substantially worse this year. Cleveland is worse than last year. None of Boston, Washington and Toronto are as good as Toronto was last year. Hell, once Dion Waiters returns to Miami they might be better than all of Boston, Washington and Toronto. Its hard to be sure based on so little data though. Any how, whoever comes out of the East will not do well in the finals. as long as you're going by the contraversial advanced analytics stat known as "Wins" the East is worse than it was last year. regarding using xRAPM rather than the offensive stats compiled by the author in the Harden/Paul comparison.. xRAPM is predictive its not retrospective. So its not ideal for deciding on annual awards like MVP, 6th man of the year, etc. | ||
