    Exactly.

    "@dmorey said the with 1 minute left in WCF Game 5, before the Chris Paul injury, the Rockets championship odds were over 50%."

    Translation: @dmorey's model failed to factor in the probability of a Chris Paul injury after averaging 34.5 minutes in 15 playoff games.

    We all knew the odds were pretty good CP3 would get hurt... it was unexpected at the time but really you can't be surprised looking back... the dude is always getting hurt and has jacked up hamstrings.

    What were the odds that we'd actually run it back with the same team?

    that’s my biggest fear...that last season ends up being our best opportunity for a title in the Harden era

    Every now and then, Morey would throw out some obscure number that sounds great but is totally irrelevant. We should be getting use to that from him.

    One thing about Morey though is that he sometimes follows up with some great deals out of nowhere after he has said something dumb. I hope it is true this time.

    I think he was already playing hurt, he just got much more hurt at end of game 5.

    MDA needs 9-10 deep rotation during regular season and play more than 6.5 in postseason.

    This is how analytics get a bad name. A guy with a reputation for analytics inventing numbers to dress up his subjective speculations.

    I start every June by forgetting how ClutchFans becomes a total whinefest in the summer, with the norm being just a lot of ranting and b****ing about how horrible our team is going to be.

    Then if things go well, everyone is all "I told you guys we were going to be really good!"

    Never change, CF.

    The facts as of now is he's improved each year since hiring Mike Dantoni and that's with fan criticism in each of those offseasons.
