Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4193968, member: 833"] I am not anti-analytics. Take two teams from the 90's, the Rockets and the Knicks. I do think Tomjonavich had some sense of the analytics when he paired a backcourt of shooters like Kenny Smith, Vernon Maxwell and Sam Cassell with the Dream. Riley, on the other hand, had three no-shoot, good D guards like Starks, Anthony and Doc Rivers. If they had analytics in the 90's, the Rockets might still put the Rockets backcourt together. There is no way the Knicks front office would put that backcourt on one team if they knew then what they know now. What I am saying is that the defense gets a vote in what is a good shot, and modern defenses are getting pretty good at defending the 3. [/QUOTE]
