Keyonte is playing

Trading Lauri for being unwilling to sit a few games would be the ultimate case of letting the tail wag the dog.

What? R^2 has nothing to do with causation. It’s a measure of how much variance the regressors explain. In the study, they're using a fixed-effects design and IV robustness checks to argue causation.

How many times can I say this: "it takes into account" = "it is not impacted by". You're treating this stat like some magical mystical stat that can completely account for the impact of other teammates on performance and erase it, leaving you only with a number that evaluates that one single...

That is not what they mean. Did you even read your own link? The entire context of the "Different teammates affect APM big time" is that it is a major CON of the stat. Hence why it is listed under "Cons". No. The stat is trying to adjust for the noise that other teammates bring to a...

If you're going to continue to close your eyes, plug your ears, and pretend that "it takes into account" = "it is not impacted by", then I don't know what more can be gained from this. At the very least it'd be nice if you acknowledged the disclaimer that the literal creators of the statistic...

I guess I need to repeat my previous post: There's a giant difference between "it takes into account" and "it is not impacted by". The stat doesn't do the latter. This isn't up for debate - they explicitly say "A different role, a different coaching scheme, different teammates, different...

There's a giant difference between "it takes into account" and "it is not impacted by". You're trying to pretend it is saying the latter with a statement like "Having Kevin Love on the roster isn’t actually an argument as to why Key’s RAPM, EPM, etc is so bad". Despite what you claim, and as...

No, I understand it quite well. Straight from your link: Anybody who claims that "Having Kevin Love on the roster isn’t actually an argument as to why Key’s RAPM, EPM, etc is so bad", or that " is unfamiliar with the inherent flaws in these stats.

They are HEAVILY driven by on-court +/- relative to off-court +/-, while attempting to hold all else equal. There's 10 other variables that impact these stats. There's roles within teams that impact these stats. What they say is that the lineups that Keyonte is in, the lineups that Collier is...

Kevin Love has the worst actual defensive EPM in the entire league. Keyonte, Collier, and WCJ are also near the very bottom of the league here. The stat does not account for individual player situations, because there doesn't exist a stat on earth that can actually do that. The takeaway, as...

I've addressed this already in another post that you still haven't responded to. It was the one where you weren't even using the correct stat, and very clearly do not understand it.

Even if you believe all of this, Nurk would still be getting minutes with Walker. It'd be the Love minutes that'd be drained.

The Jazz regrouping and punching back late in the game after the Spurs run was so impressive. I know I sound like a broken clock but that was usually the part where the Mitchell/Gobert era Jazz would fold.

The reason the Jazz are winning isn't because of not enough young guys. Lauri and Keyonte are too good. It's time to build a roster, Ainge.

Maybe the refs are the real tank commanders

Brice trying to do anything other than catch and shoot is a disaster.

Collier telling me to stfu

People may not like hearing it but Collier is the real tank commander.
