OG +3.0 EPM
Bam +2.1 EPM

If you think quoting Taylor Snarr is an argument, I can just do this

Bam 2.0 BPM
Herro 0.6 BPM
OG 0.1 BPM

You can tell it’s good news because nobody here is responding to it

Good to hear, but I think it’s also what we were expecting. But yeah, also nobody responds to good news

Randle has a bit of value but he’s still nowhere near Butler, and OG isn’t close to Bam yet, either. What is your point? Do we keep doing this until only Joel Embiid counts?

Ideally we stop when the players hit a level when playing a league average next man up is no different than playing the missing player. And if you want to count every single game that every Heat player missed with every other Heat player, be my guest. I’m stopping at Bam, Butler, Rozier, & Love because the amount of value lost isn’t worth the effort for the remaining players.

OG isn’t close to Bam yet

OG +3.0 EPM
Bam +2.1 EPM

But again it’s about the volume and character of players missing time simultaneously.

You can tell it’s good news because nobody here is responding to it

Touché.

Here’s what I wrote: “Any playoff exit short of a championship will be disappointing.”

Are you going to say with a straight face that you weren’t disappointed when we were eliminated last year, even though very few people predicted that we would make it to the second round, even at this point in the year? I sure was! And I will likely be disappointed again this year! It’s just a matter of degree.

You can have an objectively “successful” season and still be disappointed that it ended earlier than you had hoped.
