I don’t understand what the **** is going on with this story. Did he stage it, or not?
Oh, it’s Denver tonight? Big game.
Then we are in basic agreement, and only differ in our understanding of Beck’s argument. The reason a player with a losing record is not...
Actually, I said you were apparently confused. But I am now forced to upgrade that to you are just confused. What NBA.com calls individual...
My original comment stands. Slicing up the games in this manner doesn’t change his averages over our first 25 games. Someone said his performance...
Nope. This is how NBA.com defines OffRtg: "Measures a team's points scored per 100 possessions. On a player level this statistic is team points...
Sure. I was just posting it for the "best player" part of the discussion, not the "MVP" part. I think it's fair to look at prior seasons to try to...
I see you want to completely erase the bad start of the season from Harden's record, attributing all the blame to Carmelo and anyone else except...
This site looks at a bunch of different advanced all-in-one metrics and ranks the resulting best players via a weighted average of them:...

Harden being slow on the perimeter and struggling to contain the dribble isn't outdated. I see every game how Harden doesn't move well on defense...
Harden’s case is built primarily on gaudy counting stats from the boxscore. Don’t pretend otherwise now. Efficiency on offense must include...
My view is just look at all the games. There’s no need to pay special extra attention to the beginning of the season, but I don’t think you can...
OK. All of these numbers, and you don’t once mention turnovers. Offensive efficiency, as captured by ORtg, includes turnovers. As I’ve said,...
I’m not trying to hide anything. The Melo split didn’t occur to me. Your numbers look off to me. How are you calculating it? With Melo: 33.7...
“Equal credit/blame”, “equal scrutiny” — I never once suggested or implied this. Of course there is more credit than blame. He is a top 2...
More on Harden's start to this season. Just looking at box score numbers, as captured by the Hollinger game score rating. I plotted his average...
