   Lol at hockey fans with their wispy beards and man-bo obs. Never played hockey or any other sport, but think they are tough because they watch guys roughhousing on TV.

   Stupid sport
   No contact, no defense
   Stupid antics
   Stupid courtside attention seekers get as much attention as the game itself. Oooh what will drake wear??
   More Canadians will be watching NHL tonight instead of that dodgeball trash
   

   Sounds like basketball bro who shoots hoops at the college gym with some Chinese kids who thinks that counts as having played basketball.

   Clearly you are a theorist who ignorantly built his entire argument based on 1 assumption: 45% x 3 > 55% x 2
   Fine, let this empiricist give you a proper education on data analysis.
   Throughout the entire 82-game regular season, Milwaukee and Toronto secured the best 2 league records (60 wins and 58 wins respectively) on a balanced offensive game built around strong inside presence supplemented by 3 points shooting and bench support. The stats of the top 5 scorers on each team review a stark contrast in their style from GSW:
   Milwulkee top 5 scorers aggregate (Giannis, Middleton, Bledsoe, Brogon, Hill):
   PPG: 80.6
   3PA: 23.1
   3P%: 35.86
   https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/gs
   Toronto top 5 scorers aggregate (Leonard, Siakam, Lowry, Gasol, Ibaka):
   PPG: 83
   3PA: 21.8
   3P%: 32.66
   https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/tor
   GSW top 5 scorers aggregate (Durant, Curry, Thompson, Green, Iguodala) :
   PPG: 103.7
   3PA: 31.6
   3P%: 36.36
   https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/gs
   In fact GSW players' point per game, 3 point attempts and 3 points % drop precipitiously outside of their top scorers, meaning they are more liable to boom and bust performance if Curry, Klay and KD have an off-night, or if 1 key shooter is absent. Your 45% 3 points is not even statistically accurate because majority of the teams shoot under 35% (45% is more relevant to a few elite players). The shootings patterns aren't vastly different - more 3 points attempt by role players maybe, but not to the point that competitive teams rely on them like GSW and Houston do.
   Toronto won 3 games based on outstanding performance from Ibaka, Gasol and Siakam who took advantage of mismatch inside the paint and their ability to draw fouls for free throws. They comfortably beat GSW in game 4 despite 10/32 3 points shooting because they made up with 23/24 free throws performance. Even in Toronto's 1 point loss in game 5, they only shot 8/32 on 3 points (25%), whereas GSW needed a 20-42 3 points shooting (47.6%) to narrowly escape defeat. In game 6 (and 7 if necessary), GSW have to dig deep to find a third scoring option, whereas Toronto can reliably throw in a few big men inside the paint and attack the rim or draw fouls.
   Go back and learn how to analyze real-world data, little breh. Your rant read like a desk reject paper that I couldn't pass "Assumption 2."

   I don’t need to do my elementary school math because I’ve already mastered concepts like 45% x 3 > 55% x 2
   Clearly you haven’t and thats ok. We all have to start somewhere and go at our own pace.
   

   I’ve made more money in my secondary hobby betting on nba using analytics and projection models (coupled with knowledge of the game) than you’ll make in a lifetime as a UVLRM empiricist.

   But keep on digging buddy. Move the goalposts as needed. Mistake variance for all sorts of things. Chirp in the absense if the warrior’s best player missing from the series (and it still going at least 6 games).

   I’ve got python code that scrapes play by play data and models that project almost anything you can think of (and a lot more that you wouldn’t even understand). I don’t particularly think it’s worthwhile to try and impress you with the details, mainly because when you have a profitable projection system, you don’t share it.

   But I am quite impressed that you’ve gone so far as to look up stats from players on both teams and add them together. You even looked at the difference between starting 5 and bench, which requires subtraction.

   Well done sir. Color me impressed. ...See full post

   Yawn, your python codes probably look nothing different from the machine learning s**t put together from these repositories https://github.com/topics/nba?l=python

   Any skilled researcher could have easily look up some stats and put together a post over coffee break. Also moving the goal posts is nothing different from p hacking. Now gtfo non-economist.

   I wish one of the “sports journalists” had asked the crying Warriors GM whether he would commit to offering Durant a Supermax extension right then.

   But they’re all shills for the team and the league because they need player access, etc.

   Ah yes, because every basement dweller think that reinventing "machine learning algorithms" is oh so complicated. Enjoy your jobless lifestyle daydreaming about your "million dollars." Maybe one day you will lose your virginity when your mom rides on you. F88kface.

   Things Raptor fans enjoy:

   - Putting smelly cheese curds and nasty gravy on fries
   - Cheering when a player suffers a devastating injury
   - Pushing an elderly person into oncoming traffic
