Honestly, why are we starting 2 of our bottom 4 players?

I have a degree in stats..

Bull . Or from unaccredited university. The first thing I teach in my stats class is the definition misuse and ethics of stats

The problem with benching Tony is that if you do that you lose him for ever. I would rather give him some more games to prove he can regain his form.

Disagre. Parker was benched a few years ago for G. Hill w/o any big fuss about it. Different circonstances but still

[romain.star]

Jesus christ almighty. The truthbomb to word ratio in the OP is ridiculous.

Truthbb what for? Wake up dude, everyone knows that Parker is trash this year

[SnakeBoy]

I dunno. It's dangerous to keep putting our hopes in Tony with GOATbrook and the Thunder catching up to us in the standings. Last thing we need is to play GS in the first round.

Spurs have no chance at a repeat without Tony returning to form, everyone who isn't a moron knows this. Giving up on him now is the same as giving up on the season. Either he gets his together or it's the end of the season.

How did they win last year?

Starting Diaw is a must. Starting Patty to light a fire in Tony should have some explosive side benefits. 3 & d, Timmy plus Mills range and Diaws iq. I like the sound of that. Tony and Manu off the bench with Splitter, KA, and Cojo would be super soft D, but I think the offense would offset.

So, in your opinion, even if you think these stats are inaccurate, why do they only misrepresent Parker and not other players?

They misrepresent all players. Stats in this case are hypothetical averages of an occasion without taking into account any variables. Advanced stats are the same.

Maybe this is a better way to look at it.
James Harden scores 27 ppg. Most people would assume that he scored 27 points on several occasions. This year he's only scored 27 points exactly one time.... here in a very simple Stat harden is not represented appropriately.

Sure there are several who probably understand that ppg is an average but rarely are these numbers used correctly

[K...]

The stats aren't lying. Everyone knows the spurs suck. It's the arguments about legacy, trying to blame one player for the team's under under performance, and those about team morale, that are agenda facts.
