“if you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything”
This was by economist Ronald Coarse.

Thibs used this recently I believe about RJ Barrett. Im not defending last nights game, it was awful.
Im used this quote to back up that this team is showing it was not as good as the post Josh Hart surge had many to believe. The many tweets with carved up stats showing good stuff was deceptive leading many to enhanced enthusiasm and used those numbers to paint a picture. It was a nice picture but perhaps not the full story.
How do I know? The season is not over.
NYMentaliy our resident enthusiast even proclaimed his tweets had over 400 followers and when he gets to 10,000 he will start doing youtube broadcasts. I wish him luck. The StatsMuse and others are well intended but don’t predict the outcomes. The games do!

The back to back losses are not fatal and perhaps 72 games two years ago, and again this year might be our magic number but its an 82 game season.

The anger toward the predictions might have been premature. Maybe a bit early to “collect receipts”.
I hope we can pull out the 5th seed and face Clev. That would be fun and might give us a close series we can win.
