re: Massive ESPN article on analytics - Pelicans segment

Yeah. I almost put a disclaimer on my post about this being one sentence in a massive ESPN article.
I do wonder though about their definitions of analytics and stats. Most of the advanced stats are just box score stats (or a combo of box score stats) on a per possession, per 36, or % basis.
The tracking data, to me, can be fundamentally different. And teams have so much more data available that we just don't see.
SP, sarcasm?
It was very interesting to see Monty say that about the Raptors game, yet he made a point to talk about how Al Jefferson (33 PTS on 30 FGA and 6 FTA) killed the Pels this summer.

99% of the problem seems to be we can't get healthy, Monty doesn't call timeouts effectively, and Monty was at times putting ridiculous lineups on the floor together.
The third thing has drastically changed with the improvement in talent on the bench this season. I don't really know how we will lift the injury curse.
It would be nice for Monty to atleast do a better job of calling timeouts and making adjustments in a more timely manner. Most coaches seem to be quick to call timeouts and adjust while it always seems to me Monty waits too long. I feel it would be different if the team had more veteran players. Thats why it is always frustrating to hear Wesley bitch about an issue for 5-10 minutes before Monty seems to try and address it.

No. Dell was basically saying of course I use advanced metrics when making decisions. Monty talks about "real stats". Whatever that's supposed to mean. I'm assuming box scores. My only point was that these 2 are on different pages when it comes to almost everything. There isn't really autonomy between the 2 responses.
ETA: one is valuing metrics in his response. One is downplaying them.
