mem will not win 62 games !
This is why friends don't let friends quote advance stats as proof
God damn, can we just fast forward to opening night?
Yes please
tl;dr: advanced stats being used out of context and misinterpreted to make re ed predictions
it's not just win shares
David Locke, the Jazz radio guy who fancies himself an analytics guy complete with his own proprietary stat inventions has said that based on his numbers the Grizzlies will have both a better offense and a better defense than the spurs next year
Win-shares sucks as a stat, and it's certainly not additive, since stats are a zero-sum game in basketball.
What about the fact that the additions of Simmons and the serbian guy did not add up to any win share cause they weren´t in the NBA?
LOL.win shares. bull
No.
Next question.
Ah the annual "Grizzlies added X washed up wing, they're definitely contenders this year!" take.
Looking forward to the mid-December "Knicks' undrafted rookie is lighting up the league, he's a future star!"
First round fodder.
No doubt at all man, they will win about 55-56 and be our in round one or two.Agreed.
Many teams have in the past, on paper. On the court, not so much.
I'll let our regular season dominance do the talking. The team is rounding out to be a very dominant one in stretches
I've never seen a team force-fed into contender status like Memphis (though the Bulls are close). That team's still living off its 2011 upset.
To be fair though, other than that Spurs waxing of MEM following The Upset, MEM has been very compe ive in most series even when they should have been an underdog. MEM>CHI for sure is what I'm saying.
bleacher report trying to get clicks.
Spurs signed LA, West, Kawhi, Manu, Tim and Danny
Easy no.
Memphis actually is quite impressive in their ability to pick up good players from the scrap heap.
The stats do a highlight a risk with signing Aldridge for the max and losing so many players. It is unclear if Aldridge will be as efficient as the lost players. He can score and rebound, but is he as efficient?
The Grizzlies are a product of nostalgia, tbh..they remind today's media(most of them grew up on 90s ball) and older fans of the "good ol' days" of slow pace, 2 bigs in the paint + perimeter defenders with no offensive skills, not relying on 3s, etc..they are all so desperate for a team like that to win a le..
Look at the NBA Forum and see how excited Lefty got when the Grizz were up 2-1 on the Warriors, tbh..looked like a 10-year old that just discovered porn..
Ok next question. I know most people said gasol >lma but now that lma is a spur who wants to backtrack and give a homerish revision to their opinion?
I legitimately think lma in a spurs system will exceed gasol in Memphis.
The real question is did the Grizzlies sign someone that can make a jumpshot?
