    I created an adjusted plus-minus player metric for the NBA AND a website for basketball analysis. The former is called Estimated Plus-Minus (EPM) and the latter, dunksandthrees.com/epm. Check it out!

    FG% is not accurate in measuring scoring efficiency in the 3-point era (since 1979) because it doesn't understand 3 > 2. Playoff True Shooting %: Durant 59.7 Harden 58.4 James 58.1 Jordan 56.8 Bryant 54.1 note: comparing to league avg TS% per season would bump up older guys.

    James Harden shot below 20% from the field for the 8th time in his playoff career. LeBron, Durant, Kobe, and Jordan have combined to do that TWICE in their playoff careers Harden's 8 playoff games shooting below 20% are tied with Bob Cousy for the most in the shot-clock era

    Refusing to change your past stance on Zach LaVine — who was a much different and less impactful player — is disingenuous and poor analysis. He’s been incredible this season and is not the same player he once was. Players change, and analysis should always acknowledge that.
