Totally off topic here, but I've never gotten myself to the place where I could like baked plus minus stats very much. I've read the papers put out by the creators of many of the metrics and just don't come away convinced by the math or by the results.
So far, imo, the search for the Grand Theory of Basketball has produced iffy results. Which makes sense to me considering that we're having a really hard time marrying big physics and little physics even though we've been trying for centuries.
I'd love to hear an expert in probability and statistics weigh in on whether these regression and other exercises have produced anything valuable.
@"Hogmelon", I can't remember, did you study math, or are you mostly trained via gambling?
Not very astute ^^^^
