					<description><![CDATA[Here’s an example: 

OG Anunoby’s performance after joining the Knicks: meaningless random fluctuation in meaningless sample of regular season games

RJ Barrett’s performance IN THAT SAME TIME PERIOD after joining the Raptors: irrefutable evidence of RJ Barrett’s greatness

Point that out to him, and Duane Gish just gallops on to the next topic. Hey, look over here! Snowflake hustlebunny!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[E will play any stupid fucking game possible to &quot;prove&quot; whatever stupid fucking point he is making. Certain games count, but others don&#039;t, and certain metrics count but others don&#039;t, and you&#039;re only good if you perform well in a small sample size in the playoffs but if you&#039;re a player he doesn&#039;t like and you perform well in that same sample size then it doesn&#039;t matter. None of it is consistent at all and none of it matters, all that matters is whatever dumbass conclusion E began with and worked backwards from. 

Remember when E used Cam Reddish&#039;s small sample size performance in the playoffs as an Atlanta Hawk to argue incessantly that Cam Reddish was a good player? Or that Donte Divencenzo was a bad player because he didn&#039;t perform well in the playoffs, until he actually did perform well in the playoffs at which point that whole argument went down the rabbit hole? It&#039;s this same shit all the time. 

It&#039;s heads I win, tails you lose with this fucking guy and the absurd dying on this idiotic hill is maybe the best example of it. He&#039;ll throw in words like &quot;hustlebunny&quot; and &quot;snowflake&quot; and &quot;hate boner&quot; to add some rhetorical spice but it&#039;s all smoke and mirrors. Nothing is ever correct except his original premise, and that can&#039;t be disproven or challenged under any circumstance. Cam Reddish is great, RJ Barrett is great, Frank Ntilikina is great, Dejounte Murray is great, OG Anunoby is terrible, Josh Hart is terrible, Josh Hart is also great, and if you don&#039;t believe him there is some horseshit sleight of hand he&#039;ll employ to make his case.

This is the Gish Gallop. Throw so much bullshit out there that it&#039;s all impossible to refute. Fuck this shit and fuck this guy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;I’ve given you the data elsewhere and I’ve shown you the photos, feel free to put away your protractor. Otherwise you can leave the lab.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If only OG hadn&#039;t been let down by so many actual human beings, his teams could have done what the &quot;data&quot; says they &quot;could have done&quot;!!

Story of his life.   But he&#039;ll always have those 23 random games in the middle of the winter of 2024.

In any event, the Knicks project to make the playoffs and so he&#039;ll get another opportunity this spring.  We&#039;ll see how it goes.  Hopefully he&#039;ll perform.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The 2023 Cavs had a regular season ORat of 116.1 and a playoff ORat against the Knicks of 103.4.  The Heat, as we&#039;ve seen, scored the fewest points against the Knicks than in any of their four 2023 playoff series.  The Knicks were without or pretty much without two quality defenders in Grimes and Quickley.

In 2024, the Sixers had a regular season ORat of 116.4.  They had a playoff ORat against the Knicks of ... 116.4.  OG then got hurt in the Indiana series, so we won&#039;t hold that against him, but the Knick defense in that series stunk.

There&#039;s nothing to the &quot;January Knicks.&quot;  Or the &quot;OG effect.&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yes, people are overreacting to a small sampling of mid-season games where the team got a jolt of energy in the dog days of the season and which was then completely unconfirmed and vitiated and completely changed by the signals that came out once the dog days ended and the playoffs started.

And then unconfirmed by the signals of this regular season.

This whole entire thing reduces to &quot;January Knicks, bruh&quot;  I mean, if that&#039;s your thing -- great.  Seems like a very thin reed to snowflake a dude for hours and hours on end, but it takes all types.  And there&#039;s nothing &quot;data-based&quot; about it.  It&#039;s cooing over and romanticizing a few random games in the dead of winter.]]></description>
