Charles Barkley just went OFF on the analytics community

[HOoopCityJones]

RIP PER

RIP PER

LOL at PER being analytics.

And he completely humiliated himself. Ended his tirade by talking about how Memphis wasn't analytics. Which was stupid on a grammatical level and far worse in a literal level. Memphis has done more with analytics than any other team with the possible exceptionof Houston.

Rudy Gay was traded and the rest is history.

The nerds are all collectively planning on boycotting Charles I'm sure.

Nerds created analytics to feel included cause they have no talent.

this.

i like chuck but this is one of those instances where i almost completely disagree w/ him. analytics have been proven to work. morey might not be the best example but the spurs are another big proponent of analytics and drafting/trading for players based off it. i think they've had pretty good success, no?

this is just an archaic thought process by chuck, not embracing the value of what works now and living in the past. guys like kennedy, lowe and nate duncan have shown us the value of analytics. it has grown much more than showing shot charts, but shots defended at the rim, shots assisted, ppp, tracking lineup changes, etc.

ppl citing PER and such are using outdated data...analytics have gone much deeper than that in an effort to reflect more real game impact. how is knowing shot tendencies and knowing a player likes going a certain direction a bad thing?

all successful baksetball teams are using analytics these days. you can't completely rely on them and anyone who does is naive and one of those 'stat geeks', but they are definitely a factor and help in figuring out player strengths/weaknesses and whether they fit into your scheme.

you use talent evaluations and help support it with analytics, not the other around. you rely more on analytics simply when x player has limited PT and game film.

was his rant entertaining in a way? sure, but i def disagree

[KNOW1EDGE]

As usual, I whole heartedly agree with Chuck.

Analytics is bullshit made up by math nerds. That sh1t has no bearing on basketball.

PER, +/-, all that sh1t is just numbers that don't really matter when it comes down to beating your opposition.

It is literally something that smart people made up to try and feel important in sports

bill russell doesnt even have a top 100 PER all time career... so go figure

[blacknapalm]

"no good teams gives up 118 points"

yet his suns team that gave up 118 points 11 times in the RS went to the finals

lolwut? oh and citing spurs as not using analytics...bad form. they're one of the teams that are most into it. again, his thoughts are archaic. he's like an old congressman talking about the internet in 2000.
