JK47: I’m all for that. I’m not really so down with “hurr durr yoo stat guys are so dum, yoo wanted Bazemore hurr durr hahaha I’m sooo funny” because it just sort of dumbs the whole place down.

Take it easy boy.
Noone called you dum.
Teasing is part of the game.
You don’t have to take everything seriously or be correct every fkn time !

And even a stats-based blog would be entirely open to ensuring that stats were used properly, including in context.

meanwhile, that RJ stepback 3 to close out the first half against the bulls was so money. If he can somehow make that even at 35%…. everything changes for him.

He needs to do like 500 of those a day in the summer.

Can I say that he obviously has the athletic capability to make that move a very useful part of his repertoire … or is that an outlaw example of … gasp! … the “eye test”?

Is it just me or does RJ look a little peppier/bouncier lately? He may not be fast in a Westbrook way, but he really does have great change of direction skills in terms of his stepback and spins.

Dude, this is a stats-based blog. Go to one of the other shittier Knicks blogs if you want to talk about how important team spirit and the eye test are. We don’t really do that here. The Knicks reddit board might be a better fit for you.

Seriously? Wow. This isn’t really even entirely a “stats-based blog,” whatever that means — it routinely rejects or ignores plus-minus and lineup data.

but overall I like the idea that he’s going to try and do things quietly and not try to come in like a white knight
