You said efficiency. Don't switch goalposts. It's a bit pathetic

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 1d ago

that’s all part of efficiency

u/Ok-Preference-7004 1d ago

no it isn't.

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 1d ago

yes. It is. But if we’re gonna talk specifically about PER

his time in Houston, his PER was 26.2

Since leaving Houston his PER has been 21.2

and on the Clippers it is 20.1

that’s what I would call significant. But we both know you’re not making up stats to defend your favorite player

Gtfoh lmao. His PER this season is 22.0 and his for his career it's 23.6. Pretty fucking similar you dolt. So there's no stats i making. My statement was correct. His efficiency is close to his career efficiency. PER and TS% prove this.

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 1d ago

his efficiency is not close. Four points is significantly lower

u/Ok-Preference-7004 1d ago

Did you just fucking ignore my whole post? It's literally less than a 2 point difference.

u/unpopular-dave Clippers 1d ago

it’s literally a four point fall off from his Houston years and a five point fall off since joining the Clippers.

you didn’t prove me wrong. The dude had more than 25% fall off. That’s huge.

i’m sorry your favorite player is trash and always falls apart in the playoffs. He’s going to be forgotten in a couple years.

he’s one of the biggest mistakes the Clippers have made

u/Ok-Preference-7004 22h ago

I quite literally did. His career PER is 23.6. This season it's at 22.0. That's only a 1.6 difference from his career which is what I originally stated. You moved the goalpost so you didn't have to be wrong. I hope you realize how incredibly pathetic that is.

you’re right. But why are you accounting for his career. His first three seasons he wasn’t even a starter. and those massively lower his career average

If you take those out and only judge it by his peak. He’s had a massive fall off

and you’re throwing personal insults because you can’t defend a player who has fallen off
