[idiot]

It’s a good outcome for a moneyballer, because we don’t really need to do anything different because we just need to count on our shots to fall over larger samples. “Oh, well _____ was an anomaly and that’s not going to happen again.”

The most reassuring part is that anomalies don’t happen in the playoffs, only teh moneyballs.

So you're saying we need to get rid of Mitchell, since it was mostly Donovan who we should expect to do better on larger sample sizes? Since he's the playoff moneyball guy?

No Klay and still a loss on our home court. What happens when Klay comes back? The warriors will be a very deep team at that point.

You forgot dray as well. No say we can match up with them at full strength. Just have to be lucky to avoid them in a bracket which is pathetic too smh.

I like how the warriors actually pass the ball to get open shots instead of trying on 2 SGs going 1 on 5. It’s a pretty offense to watch.

The biggest problem tonight was not having Whiteside. We had no idea what to do defensively when Gobert wasn't on the floor.

What about all the turnovers and crappy shooting?

Ingles was 1-for-7 tonight and 0-for-6 from 3pt.

We didn't have that many turnovers tonight.

Mitchell/Ingles and to a lesser degree Conley just couldn't get it going offensively.

Not surprisingly the Warriors picked our perimeter defense apart as well. No fix on the roster for that.

His companions Conley and Mitchell showered themselves in glory tonight.

If we don’t have a roster fix then what do you think will happen if/when we face them in the playoffs?

Also, we rested Mike Conley for this ****.

I really wish we had signed Otto Porter Jr this off season. I'm not sure if we could have but I would take him over Gay. The team seemed like Gay was the target all along, but Otto fills a bigger need.

My belief is that Quin is the moneyball guy, hence no adjustments from the Clippers regular season game through the sounding horn on game 6. Just a belief of keeping rolling the dice because the numbers are with you. The reference to anomalies is the common retort for any close game lost, with an underlying implication that the next equation will be absent such anomalous variables. The stats arise from the floor and the floor doesn’t succumb to the stats. The directionality of this relationship is what befuddles moneyball practitioners on applying long-term strategy to finite situation. The problem, then, is what the moneyball approach allows us to take away from this game: absolutely nothing, except to moneyball harder.

Think he refused better offers to sign with the GSW.
