Where are your Gods now efficiency dorks

[TheMan]

Wow, and I thought this thread would be about GSW's team numbers. But it's a bash on Bron? Jesus Christ. The guy is playing at a level that's been matched by few in history in terms of impact and you still got people hating.

He's not bashing Bron you dope. He's talking about Bran's "efficiency elitist cult".

Bran's become a volume scorer, Silkk, mehyaM24, dubeta etc on suicide watch, their beloved FG%, the ONE thing they held onto after all these years, GONE after these playoffs. LeBron said he loved Allen Iverson growing up, so much so that he's doing his best AI impression

I always knew that my hoops knowledge was literally dimensions better than these stat bots.

These guys couldn't be more lame - purporting an ERRONEOUS narrative - basing much of their careers on erroneous, IGNORANT analysis.

That's the problem with these stat geeks. The only use pure stats, formulas/metrics and have no context or understanding of the game to justify their opinions.

Percect example is John Hollinger. He once said he watches 4 NBA games a year. I was reading his top Finals games of all time and he said something like "Unfortunately for Walton, his game 6 didn't include turnovers and he surely had some which would bring his score even lower". I'm thinking, watch the damn game if you're going to rank it!

Seems like a pretty valid point.

Lebron James is current playing less efficiently this postseason than Kobe has ever done in his entire playoff career yet the advance stats, metrics, "clutch time" writer crowd is awfully quiet.

[Magic 32]

He made the dagger (would be dagger if not for J R Smith playing like an idiot) three pointer, so I know 0-12 is wrong.

What dagger?

The one before the 3 minute collapse?

Also, that 0 (or whatever it is actually...since 0-12 is def wrong) would be a 6 or something, but G State fouled Lebron intentionally instead of giving him a lay up like 4-5 times during that span.

Old school playoff basketball. They should really ban that stuff.

For Lebron.

Field goal percentage is the most important thing in basketball. [/B] Scoring a bunch of points on low percentages does not lead to wins, unless you are like Kobe and have an elite front court every year of your career.
Put Kobe on the Heat from 2010-2014 and he would never make it out of the first round. Who would rebound his bricks? Bosh?

Re: Lebron James is a miracle

Since Kobe and AI went into the league, every guards and SFs started to jack shots ( PP, Tmac, rose, Durant, Westbrick, and wade and so on)

However, since Lebron joined the Heat, we are able to see another unselfish non- big men superstar. This is like watching Larry Bird/ Magic play to be honest. Unselfish basketball has long gone but now reinvented by Bron

efficiency is everything.

Not really. Go check ESPN.

3 wins away from winning a title with a D-league team. We won't be the ones on suicide watch

Hey OP, you blatant moron, when was the last time Kobe went deep into the playoffs without a second option that could give you 20 and 10 every single night?

I'm waiting... oh wait, that hasn't happened... ever... I mean... Kobe missed the playoffs at his peak and then got bounced in the first round. lol.

If LeBron had a prime Gasol or prime Shaq on his team he would be putting up 60% TS nightly right now.

He's not in a position to do that, obviously.

If people don't think that teammates matter when determining FG% and efficiency, they're kidding themselves...

Also... this isn't peak LeBron. Peak LeBron was like 3 or 4 years ago.

lmao @ insecure Kobrick lovers

Kobe never was the playmaker that Lebron is. Face facts. Even with all the misses, Lebron still manages to influence the game like Kobrick never did.

[nathanjizzle]

the impact is clear when lebron is compromising his FG percentage to play aggressively compared to vice versa. Its ironic, that stat nerds using cold hard facts to make their point are the most ignorant basketball fans.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

When Kobe is averaging a ~40 point triple-double in the finals, let us know. Your point might be valid then.

Yeah, '05 was a down year for Kobe. But the Lakers were actually above .500 though before Kobe's injury and 24-19 total under Rudy T before he stepped down for health reasons. Kobe, Butler and Odom missed a combined 39 games that season. Puts the whole "missing the playoffs" into context. As far as getting bounced in the first round, the 2006/2007 Lakers actually overachived for one and how is the 7th seed seed losing to the #2 seed a big deal?

If LeBron had a prime Gasol or prime Shaq on his team he would be putting up 60% TS nightly right now.

Prove it.

What's your point? Efficiency dorks always claimed FG% was the be all end stat.

[chazzy]

It's such a strange series to really determine how good he's playing. Awful efficiency, insane volume numbers, but also insane usage% and isolation every play. It's not boosting his team's offense to some unexpected level, as they had the 3rd worst ORTG in a win ever yesterday. But his play style is effective because it is taking GSW out of their rhythm offensively by slowing the game down.

[Magic 32]

Imagine of he loses (a real possiblity).

2/6 and you have shown your true color (that you only care about efficiency when it comes to Kobe).

Devastating
