    Show your work.

    565 ÷ 447 = 1.27

    Now show yours. I hope 447 does not equal shots in your equation

    That's what I thought you were doing, but then you claimed it wasn't a good number for LMA. That made me wonder what you were looking at. I guess you didn't notice a few things.

    LMA's number is better than Giannis. It's better than Kevin Love. It's better than Jimmy Butler. It's better than Kawhi. It's equal to Blake Griffin. Etc. You didn't notice any of that?

    So where's your work? What does 447 represent? The fact that LA's post up PPP is better than those guy's means nothing. You understand that, right? His post ups yield less than a point per possession. Bad. And post ups equal a ridiculously large percentage of LA's total possessions. That's really, really bad.

    Marco's spot ups have been relatively more effective. Lol

    Bryn did not say anything new Pop, and Rick Carlile just said exactly that.

    Recently from Carlisle on why the Mavs don't make Porzingis post up more (leaving aside that his ability to actually do so might be a bit suspect anyway):

    “The post-up just isn’t a good play anymore... It’s a low value situation. Our numbers are very substantial that when [Porzingis] spaces the floor beyond the three point line, we’re a historically good offensive team. And when any of our guys go in there our effectiveness is diminshed exponentially.”

    Mavs have the best offense in the league, so I guess Carlisle is right

    You have an agenda, which causes you to misrepresent things. When it's pointed out to you that your characterization was incorrect, you claim it means nothing.

    C'mon, it's okay to advocate wanting some player other than LMA without misrepresenting things. You could speak of wanting a player who's more mobile, a better passer, etc. while never having to put a false spin on any stats.

    The truth is, LMA's PPP number is not bad, it is better than Giannis or Kawhi Leonard, for example. Let's try honesty for a change.

    You'd prefer a different style of player. It's perfectly cool to say that. No spin needed.

    What I posted was PPS, Points Per Shot (from the field.) Among high volume scorers LMA's PPS is the same as Jokic, for example. Not great, but a better than average number. It's relevant for Aldridge since he's predominantly a shooter.

    Spurs fans: "LMA and DD need to shoot more threes so the other teams don't sag off and clog the lane for everyone else!"

    Bryn Forbes: "Now teams have to guard him all the way to the 3-point line instead of sagging off, clogging the lane and giving less space for everyone else."

    Spurs fans:
    Who’s Bryn Forbes and why is he quoted about anything at all?

    I just want Forbes to be 8th or 9th off the bench where he belongs while actual starting-caliber players reap the benefits of LMA making threes.

    We all want that, but it's hard to do when we also have Mills coming off the bench

    You either don't understand stats or you're being purposely misleading - comparing points per shot when I provided points per possession

    Figure out how to compare the same thing and we can talk. Otherwise, you're a waste of time and typical of the unknowledgeable fans on this board - the kind that expected the Spurs to be contenders in the preseason.

    Forbes throwing Aldridge under the bus

    Imagine somebody saying "now with Walker starting people can't just shoot over or drive past him , we don't have to help off his man and don't leave 3-point shooters wide open anymore. He can also get to the rim without getting blocked"
    Somebody should say that, tbh.

    Guy, you lied. You did it because you have an agenda. You were howling that LMA's PPP was bad when in fact it is not.

    I pointed that out, and your response was, and is, nothing but a spew of dishonesty. You're typical of the dishonest ignoramuses on this board who post some stupidity, and when they're called on it, they try to lie their way out of it, and change the subject, and run away.

    The fact is, I obviously know more about stats than you do. Like, for example, how to compare them honestly, and how to present them honestly.

    As for me mentioning PPS, I did that simply because I wanted to. If you imagine that you are going to control all the subjects that get talked about, then I've got news for you, little head, it doesn't work that way.

    You can try again, honestly this time. Or, you can affirm that you're just an ignorant, dishonest fool, and run away. What are you going to do?

    You don't even know what is a good PPP figure and what isn't. LMA's PPP is better than giannis's therefore it is a good number. That is the extent of your logic.

    Then you spewed out PPS in comparison and only admitted it when I called you on it. The only obvious conclusion is you're not smart.
