Stat nerds are the worst kind of human garbage

[GimmeThat]

[RANT] I f&cking hate it when players are ranked and valued based on the number of rings they've won, or whether or not a player even has a ring [/RANT]

Yea i understand but Gasol shot 44% from within the arc which totaling to his season total equaled to less than 34% from within that range. You tell me how Marc can shoot from within that range when he averaged 51% from that same range against teams in the atlantic division in the month of march (06-12) which after that time his percentage fell of t0 44%. So im thinking withing that timeframe his average couldnt have been more than a total of 33%. Even with those numbers he couldnt have shot that good from 16 feet which he averaged 56% from nov 07-march 13. Now i dont expect him to get those numbers back but i expect him to at least get them up as it was from 08 , thats when he made 88% of his shots from within the paint . Hoping the Grizz take this series because i can go on and on with Zebo and his numbers too which isnt looking too good


Edit: his percentage fell to 43.2% from (march 06-14)

I don't know what any of this means, but I agree. Marc stans are the worst.

No need to be half hearted about it. Lebron stans are the worst.

Why work yourself into a (half) tizzy over the opinions of a couple of retards with extra chromosomes? Be happy that those imbeciles have religion. The true human scum are those that require the threat of an all powerful being watching their actions in order not to be douchebags to their fellow humans.

Eh. Most stat heads I know religiously watch NBA basketball. I'm talking 5 games on at once. I think of it like this, there's no way you can take one over the other. Stats and the eye test go hand in hand.

stat nerds > eye test dummies

Agreed 100%

Which is hilarious when people say shit like boxscore watchers. I mean, do people really think anyone is out there just checking stats and never watch any games? Who are these people?

People who don't agree with me are stat watching stans.

Literally every single time I bring up stats people always tell that I need to watch them game and stop taking so much stock in them . Am I not suppose to use them ever? Because it's impossible without some "expert" eye test fanatic to tell me how little stats matter and I should just watch the game like I don't watch. I'm just not stupid enough to disregard stats. They rarely ever make valid points to even add to the debate either.
