@tylerbritton_ Always been a playoff riser 15/5/5 in the playoffs since 2019 35% 3pt% on 7 attempts +2.4 on/off

Marcus Smart is impacting the game like a superstar right now. Never hesitant getting 3s up, and has the ability to get hot like he has tonight. Legitimately running the point guard full-time, initiating most of their offense and making all of the right decisions. Not to mention everything he's done defensively, from full-court pressure to timely rotations. S-tier performance.

Smart has always been a playoff riser btw

@Sxne19iv2 The offense has gotten worse the last 3 years in the playoffs when he’s on There’s just outlier shooting luck making the magic DRTG 118 in the 100 mins he’s off due to small sample size

Have net ratings bros explained why Banchero is genuinely lobos in the offs?

@pmmbasketball Not to mention ignoring play styles in the comparison just because they’re all forwards Tatum and brown at this point in time were both shooting 39% from 3 on 7+ attempts and neither were defensive negatives like Paolo

celtics been a t3 seed since 2016 😭

@StanleySwanson0 You’re the casual at this same point in time the Celtics were a 1st round exit yes but had already made the ECF multiple times prior Also this apples to apples player comparison because they’re all wings despite not being stylistically similar is terrible

Same exact conversations were being had about Jalen Brown and Tatum. People just want instant gratification in today’s NBA and it shows who’s a casual and who’s actually watching the games .

@Sp0rtzburner @ksenguptaa @TA1297 Fair but I’m still waiting for Franz to get in a good situation

@GoodGuyWill_ @ksenguptaa @TA1297 They're both bums

Paolo and Franz sorry as hell man this roster is loaded

Paolo for THREE

@odensshadow @nikolinalepht @Betlifesports Nah but that doesn’t rlly matter in the context of the discussion. It’s an ATG playoff series. That efficiency on that volume is unbelievable while being great defensively. But I’m assuming you know that and you’re just tryna bait

@GoodGuyWill_ @nikolinalepht @Betlifesports He win a chip that year with that all time behaviour

MJ was basically KD until Pippen arrived

@odensshadow @nikolinalepht @Betlifesports 45 PPG on 63% TS% +10 rTS is all time stuff

@nikolinalepht @Betlifesports @ty_cam267 30FGA 10FTA Are you guys retards ? Almost like ppg isn’t the defining factor of how good you are you clowns

@Carsobi Derrick White, OG and Gordon are all stars in a just society

Aaron Gordon is gonna go down as one of the best players to never be an all-star, I fear

@Mr__UziSquirt Perfect

@GoodGuyWill_ We can take turns

Christian Bale and I personally don’t think it’s close either

@Mr__UziSquirt Am I big or little spoon

@GoodGuyWill_ How about you stop trolling and come cuddle me

@Mr__UziSquirt I also like Bale more I was just doin a little trolling hehe

@GoodGuyWill_ Not debating how great Leo is, that’s why I said “personally”. When I watch Bale act, it’s like he, in my opinion, takes on the character in a way that’s different than anything Leo does, captivates me and immerses me more. But I obviously love Leo. I just love Bale more

@Mr__UziSquirt What’s eating Gilbert Grape, Basketball Diaries, Romeo & Juliet, and Titanic by age 23 and he just did OBAA THIS IS LEBRON

@GoodGuyWill_ Leo second on this this obviously

@vkillem @J4est_ Ast% and rORTG have existed for a long time and neither of which I would call “player optimization” metrics as much as reflecting productivity Both players played in the same era 3s weren’t optimized in the dead ball era should I not use 3pt% when comparing two players?

these arguments are always using current era metrics to compare players who played in an era where teams did not evaluate or optimize players based on those metrics always been silly to me

@Mr__UziSquirt @ASAP_Pain_ Healed from ur sickness softy

@GoodGuyWill_ @ASAP_Pain_ 3 manhattans, ribeye special, cigarette… next question

@Mr__UziSquirt got himself a 14 oz prime rib (rare) at the German bar

@EuroFootyIQ @SamQuinnCBS +18 on/off swing +13 ORTG swing Turning a good team into an all time great team is good

@SamQuinnCBS He didn’t win 73 by himself. Loaded, all time loaded warriors did. Yet again using team success to make a point. If they won 57 games would you say he won 57? No, that stat wouldn’t be used at all.

Steals gave Steph two MVPs bro he made 400 3s and won 73 games.

@Mr__UziSquirt @ASAP_Pain_ The MF goat right here

@ASAP_Pain_ Grubbing hard or hardly grubbing?

@19_loading Because Luka hasn’t elevated the team to a comparable level to OKC. Cool his team is worse. And the results are also worse. His on court impact is less, his team has won 11 less games. The net rating is +1 compared to okc +11. Shai is making a good team an all time great team

@GoodGuyWill_ MVP stands for Most Valuable Player Roster quality is a huge factor. Austin Reaves with 41 year old LeBron plus a bunch of JAGs is a play-in roster. I don’t see how it isn’t relevant

At some point we have to be honest about what MVP actually means. Take Luka off the Lakers and Shai off the Thunder. Which team needs their guy more? Luka averages more points, more rebounds, AND more assists than Shai on a roster that frankly, after acknowledging LeBron (41 years old btw) and Reaves, isn’t all that good. Shai has far more help. People love to discount “counting stats” and say that efficiency is the true measure of how “valuable” someone is to their team or the league as a whole... But here’s a way to think about it: Lakers PPG minus Luka: 83.1 Thunder PPG minus Shai: 87.2 That means Shai gets about a four-point head start in every game over Luka — so it’s no coincidence that their record is better. And that’s not even accounting for the assists, of which Luka gets 1.8 more per game than Shai. Value isn’t just about efficiency. It’s also about how much your team depends on you to function properly night after night. The simple fact is that Luka benefits HIS TEAM more than Shai does his. And as much as it pains me as a Celtics fan to stump for a Laker to be the MVP, it doesn’t make sense any other way. We have to be objective: It’s clearly Luka for MVP this season.
