James Haren vs Chef Curry advanced

[Marchesk]

As we all know on ISH, normal stats are misleading. So let's look at the advanced stats to find the truth.

Haren:

12.9 PER, 39.9 TS%, -0.09 WS/48, -3.4 BPM

Chef:

52.3 PER, 76 TS%, .650 WS/48, 20.3 BPM

[Monta Ellis MVP]

I have been a fan of Harden ever since his days at ASU but he has been exposed at this point.

[Marchesk]

Haren is 3/35 on threes through 3.5 games.

[Cali Syndicate]

Player's choice MVP though.

[bigkingsfan]

Looks close, a coin flip at this point.

[Marchesk]

Alright well, the Beard got loose in the second half, because it's OKC. So his 3 point shooting is now 7/42 on the season.

[plowking]

Curry is better, but people need to stop pretending like Harden isn't a great player.

Would be great in any era, and giving you 25 points a night.

[dubeta]

Both would average more than 18ppg in the Finals in the 60's

[Stu Jackson]

So did Wilt, since he played 3 finals in the 70s.

stop talking about him like hed be anything special today

disgusting that someone born in the 80s would talk up an older player who went up against scrubs

evoking AMCs name in the thread title too you have no shame

I deleted that post because of his 69 finals. Wilt would be special in any era, as would Kareem, Shaq and few other all-time great bigs.

Wilt went up against a bunch of HOF bigs, and there were about 7 top 20 all-time players during his career.

As for Wilt's ppg avg in the finals, it's all about context.

you feel the need to defend him because you doubt it yourself

hall of fame means nothing since it doesnt account for competition

everyone back then cared about baseball boxing and track first

[Smook A.]

Oh wow 3 games worth of advanced stats mean soooooo much

[Orlando Magic]

The chef!

[VengefulAngel]

People don't realise that PER is a pretty much useless stat until 20 games have passed.

More like 12-15 ppg. No other era is giving him 10+ free throws a night.
