Message: [QUOTE="JustbrewitMan, post: 4176104, member: 7806"] Good point. While I appreciate the value of stats and metrics, they also need to be placed in the context of actually watching the games. I see many on here blindly using them to say "our pace is in the bottom xx%...we need to fast break more". If you pay attention to the gameflow, you can see it's obvious that most other teams respect that we have the pieces to play really fast...and they sacrifice offensive rebounding to stop rampant fast breaking. For example, every single time AJ grabs a rebound, he's pushing the pace...even though the other team already has 2-3 players past the halfcourt line already. Most of the time, there's nothing there, so they go into a halfcourt set. The pace metrics don't account for that, AFAIK. But I'm willing to learn more if I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
