Lets give role player shots.
Tony parker part of the big 3.
I'm a troll because I say what I see.
Enrique needs to shoot more to get out of his slump.
Stopped being a slump long time ago. that's the norm now.
Guyz pls stap hating on tony
Remember the good times

I just hope Tony finds a way to turn the clock back a bit, tbh.... it probably won't happen in these playoffs, but going forward, that extension is the elephant in the room, tbh...
Tony ... that's turrible.
Troubling. There's no overcoming two important starters playing that historically bad. And then there's Danny Green to worry about as well. I think Danny will turn it around since he's not hurt, but Tony and Tiago seem done.
But I still believe we're 50/50 to win the series. Austin Rivers is unlikely to play that well again (and if he does, tip of the hat), and Danny has to wake up at some point and get hot.
Kawhi and Timmy are carrying the SL. They need Danny to step up or the bench to significantly outplay the Clippers bench. Parker is what he is at this point, I'm hoping Tiago can get to the level he was at towards the end of the regular season.
It's obvious Leonard isn't ready to carry a team out of the first round.
From that to this.
Also, shout out to Timmy and especially Kawhi for actually showing up.
can you explain this RAPM to me? cursory google glance has it being better than basic net on/off court at predicting future outcomes after like 2 or 3 years worth of data.
"In "Regularized Adjusted Plus-Minus" (RAPM), the goal is to provide more accurate results by employing a special technique called "ridge regression" (a.k.a. regularization). It significantly reduces standard errors in Adjusted Plus-Minus(APM)."

You would need to be RC the analytics guy to understand what is really going on here. I take it as face value and don't try to understand the formula but do understand the correlation that is going on.
Like I've been saying that fat is going to end up dooming the Spurs. Even if we get past the Clips, at some point he'll quit at halftime during a horrible game. Again. Then he'll come out firing the next game, try to be a hero in the 4th in a poor attempt at redeeming himself. Again.
If only he would gracefully accept his new Prigioni role, just like TD and Manu accepted their reduced roles.
Boris has passed up a BUNCH of open 3-point looks. Sometimes embarrassingly open looks. To the point that even the commentators mentioned it. It's hard to find any explanation other than he doesn't want to take them.
It's one thing when he's contested, and he dribbles into a good shot. But these have been the looks that you want, when you're moving the ball around, and he's dribbled into some real messes. We know how important it is to stretch the defense. If he's not even going to take those shots, that's a problem. He's got to pull the trigger on some of those.
The basic +/- had context problems. Put a so-so player on the floor with four great players, and he could rack up a big +/- score that has nothing to do with him.
They have attempted a number of "adjustments" to +/- to make it more meaningful. Each one has its own good and bad, mostly in the form of collinearity - if two players are subbed into the game at one time, which one caused the change in results? (Or which one caused the most change?) Stats people are always trying to find some statistical/mathematical method that will give a more meaningful and consistent result.
RAPM has a lot going for it. It's less meaningful when the number of minutes played is low. Applying it to just the few playoff games wouldn't make a lot of sense to me. I don't know if they have used some method of adjusting a larger series (like the whole season), but 3-4 games doesn't look like a good place to try and apply RAPM. To me, the biggest problem with RAPM is that all the players are regressed to the mean, and it tends to make some dogs (especially with low minutes) look better than they really are. The top end guys almost always have big minutes, so they probably aren't hurt as much as the bad players are helped. But still, the gap between them looks too small. In general, it under-rates the impact of an MVP candidate.
