Default Re: Official NBA Season Thread

lastchance,

PF-PA? Enlighten me.

GKA,

re: Hollinger. Ultimately he's awesome. But he has his flaws. His stats aren't impervious. I know less about his power rankings, but take PER for instance. It obviously doesn't account for defense very well. And it overvalues scoring. It balances the scoring bias somewhat, but players can still increase their PER simply by chucking, even if it's at the detriment to the team. For instance, Marbury fares very well under the PER metric, with a career 19 mark. Jason Kidd has a lower career mark by just a few decimals, even though Marbury has been pretty bad the past 3 seasons. Obviously, in terms of real value, Kidd blows Marbury out of the water.
