Pencil necked geeks ruined MLB, saved NBA
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 16th, 2018 11:42 AM Author: trip giraffe preventive strike MLB is unequivocally worse with three true outcomes, shift, platoons, etc. becoming widespread
NBA is way more exciting with every team trying to maximize shots at the rim and three-pointers
Jury still out on NFL, but gut instinct says pencil-necked geeks fucked this one up too. |

Date: August 16th, 2018 5:05 PM Author: Yellow mind-boggling crackhouse Not nearly as much with soccer though there are more sophisticated player stats that have come out in the past 15 years (though they have a tendency to reaffirm who the greats are already so I'm not sure they're producing anything eye-opening). It's also not a sport that lends itself to stats. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4053276&forum_id=2#36628492) |

Date: August 16th, 2018 12:44 PM Author: Thriller transparent site it is but the emphasis today is maxing out on power, idea being that it's not as subject to chance and of similar value (speaking very broadly).
statheads are getting too excited about their make-believe problem sets / findings and extrapolating them into full-blown strategies that are really questionable. beauty of the emphasis on OBP was that it wasn't really just an "analytical result," it was a simple philosophy that made a lot of sense and that hand't really been thought of / put into practice much before. just don't get outs (i.e. get on base) and you're more likely to score runs. even bill james has criticized modern analytics over the focus on power. |

Date: August 16th, 2018 11:49 AM Author: Shaky scarlet locus incel i only care about the nba. i love the impact of analytics and agree that current offenses are more open, fun to watch and objectively smarter.
its too simplistic to credit just the nerds for the modern nba though. don nelson and mike d'antoni were pushing pace and shooting lots of threes years before anyone started talking about PER. and the nba (thankfully) helped bury the 75-70 final score rock fight era by allowing more zone defense, which forced more ball movement and three point shooting.
generally people that hate the modern nba are dumber (basketball) fans that don't actually consume the product and really just want to make themselves sound tough with their take on nba glory boys IMHO |

Date: August 16th, 2018 12:14 PM Author: trip giraffe preventive strike Probably CR overall, but I think D'Antoni & co. were considered a gimmick that couldn't win a championship until the nerds came along and started quantifying how dumb it was not to go for dunks/layups/FTs/threes as much as humanly possible. Either way, both the nerds and the rule changes made NBA 500% more watchable, and I'm a racist bigot Trumpmo. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4053276&forum_id=2#36626537) |
