I guess I can just post this every time the chart gets posted
God that Lebron chart is so stupid. As if he controls how many 50 plus win teams he plays in the playoffs
Of course those guys are gonna have more playoff wins against 50 win teams. The east doesn't have as many as the west, and he only plays one west coast team for the playoffs each year.
You have to adjust for ratio of 50 win teams being played in order for that list to matter.
Why exactly is 50 wins is the barometer here? Because it’s a nice round number? It sounds good? That’s just nine wins more than a .500 team. Fifty wins is just a good season. Not great. It feels like a player who bats .300 or someone who has 1,000 yards rushing in the NFL. All those numbers sounded better a few years ago before the Statistical Revolution.
Look at this list of the best regular seasons in NBA history (winning percentage .750 or better). Excluding the strike-shortened seasons, and focusing on just the modern era, these players (and their teams, obviously) beat the following 62+ win teams:
* Jordan beat four of them (’96 Sonics, ’97 Jazz, ’93 Suns, ’98 Jazz) in the Finals
* Dwight Howard beat two (’09 Cavs, ’09 Celtics) in the ECS, ECF
* Magic beat two (’85 Celtics, ’91 Blazers) in the Finals, WCF
* Larry beat one ‘(81 76ers) in the ECF
* LeBron beat one (’11 Bulls) in the ECF
* Tim Duncan beat one (’05 Suns) in WCF
* Kevin Durant beat one (’12 Spurs) in WCF
* Dirk beat one (’06 Spurs) in WCS

well obviouslyI'm sure he means it's made him a better basketball fan. Not that he's a better fan than anyone else.
As in.. more knowledge and info increases his enjoyment and understanding of basketball.
And Chester is just as bad as the restIt's really not an old vs new thing. There's been plenty of trolls that were annoying years ago too, like Zyzz for example
although most "stat nerds" tend to think they are better basketball fans than everyone else
Chester was just a future thinker that was ahead of his time

TBH the only real barometer is how many teams each player has beaten that are good enough to win in the conference finals and advance to the finals.I guess I can just post this every time the chart gets posted

Advanced Stats are cool. I try not to go too far down the rabbit hole with them but they serve a purpose. Helps think of some creative arguments, like are there exceptions to the rules when it comes to these numbers and so on.

Hes rarely shown glimpses of who he was. Its not there yet at all but he has to get there eventually, hopefully.
Hopefully hes just trying to get used to everything, new players coach system and on court nba rythm which hes rarely seen. His pace is off terribly. Just hope he returns to himself by end of all star break. But of course all that is up in the air.

What's really shocking is that he's shooting a higher % from the FT line than overall FG% for the season so far
41.3 vs 58.1

If Whiteside can polish his game some, he'll be a beast for a long time.

The East rises as the West slowly destroys itself from within.
Rondo was our Trojan horse. Dallas accepted him with open arms. Sac next.

By the way, y'all knock Lebron for not playing these "50 win teams" then bring up CP's playoff resume as if he hasn't been in the west his entire career losing to the spurs, thunder, grizzlies, etc.
