You can explain how you think 2+2=5, it doesn’t mean you’re right. Your take on Carlo is just bad. I can’t understand how someone who has watched him play could possibly have such an opinion. Maybe that’s the issue.
This is quite literally one of the worst ACGMs I have ever seen. You’ve completely destroyed a good team. Lay off the fancy stats man. They can certainly be used, but when it’s all you use, you wind with awful teams like this. Watch. It’s a fun sport to watch.
The issue is you're watching through a tinted lens. If I told you Carlo is way worse offensively than he is good defensively, and you watched a few games - you would see it. The issue is we're fed dumb narratives, and then confirmation bias kicks in. If I told you Reilly was average defensively and *really, really strong* offensively, you'd probably see it too.
From my point of view, you're saying "lmao, imagine thinking the earth is round, we are STANDING on a FLAT SURFACE
". Like yeah, things might seem a certain way, but it's because we've bought into an explanation. That explanation breaks down at deeper levels of analysis, but you won't go there, because changing your mind is a discomfort. Boston has looked way better since obtaining Hall and Rielly, that's all I can tell you that you might actually agree with.
Saying "this is bad" is a completely baseless value statement. Picking and choosing stats when they fit your narrative is literally what makes them unusable in most scenarios.
