Predict the Rudy Gobert trade

[LoPo]

Would it kill you to argue in good faith?

Nobody is arguing the possessions don't matter. There's a difference between a possession mattering and a possession being representative of what would happen over the course of a much larger sample size. The Mavs understood this, which is why they didn't try it more than a couple times per game.

Why iso anybody when they could just keep dribbling towards the paint, watch Rudy always come down, and then his player is wide freaking open after a pass or two?

It's funny how you guys get so upset when we run iso on offense because we don't run our "mixer". We don't run the mixer in the playoffs because it can be shut down due to our limited offensive weapons.

Then you brag on our success at stopping iso without admitting that the other team uses their "mixer" to abuse our unsuccessful defense.

A couple of times per game? Lol you mean 25% of their possessions?

13 possessions over 6 games is roughly 2 times per game.

This is extremely basic arithmetic...

I’m talking about isolation in general. They actually went at Bogey the most and he did quite well. Only player who didn’t was Gobert which is so shocking to me.

Okay, back to predicting the Rudy trade....

If Quin is destined for San Antonio, and Quin obviously loves Rudy so much, just trade Rudy to San Antonio for everything they are willing to give? Seems like a match made in Rudy/Quin lovers heaven.

I get the sense that you're deliberately arguing in bad faith at this point. 2 possessions per game is 2 possessions per game.

Like, seriously dude. What are you even doing?

So is it reality that he's a bad shooter?

Answer: he isn't you dishonest scumbag. Just like Rudy isn't a bad isolation defender because of a tiny sample size.

Grow up and learn

That wasn’t very nice.

Honey, is this you?

The one thing I can’t figure out is everyone is blaming Donovan for his bad defense when I look at all of these defensive stats and he’s either better or around the same numbers as Gobert in the Dallas series.

Lmao dude follow along. Dallas ran isolation plays on offense 20-25% of the time and the only players on the team who allowed more than 0.96 PPP was Gobert and Conley.

 

[Elizah Huge]

So either Donovan and Gobert were bad on defense or they both weren’t bad. Which one is it clowns?

Elizah Huge is learning that when you're dealing with tiny sample sizes, you get a lot of crazy results.

Like one of the most basic principles of statistics is that a small sample size isn't representative of anything.

This coming from you? You often come up with small sample size stats to prove some lame argument.

Our defense run by Quin prioritizing Rudy did not work in the playoffs. We can blame everything in the world for why that was, but it's the truth.

Don't you understand HOW SMALL THIS SAMPLE IS? This is ridiculous to make any sort of determinations about how good or bad Gobert is in isolation based on a dozen possessions, no matter how bad or good they are. Especially when we have THOUSANDS of possessions prior and we know exactly how good he is in isolation.

BTW you do realize that part of the reason others allow low % in isolation when Gobert is on the floor is precisely because Gobert is on the floor and he helps on a TON of drives off isolation?

An entire playoff series is not a small sample size to me. It literally is the ****ing playoffs where it matters most.

Oh really? Give me one example. Should be easy since I "often" do it.

Someone answer this for me please since you guys know everything.
