Just seems harder bc with a gameday thread, ftmp, people stop posting when games are over, so any momentum a discussion could build in that thread is stopped.
Well in the old days analytics were still young and we all enjoyed batting around ideas and we had actual smart people like kbfc and assani participating.
Now the kbfcs and seths have gotten paid for this so they no longer post, and people like myself are a little long in the tooth to really give a **** about nuanced analytics (if it's discussed I'll read and provide my opinion, but im not doing work away from the thread on basketball like I used to in limited doses, and I'm sure others are the same).
And besides now we have rapm so Thayer effectively has the game solved so why discuss anything?
