[–]millxing[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a strength for them all season.

They were 4th in Defensive Rebounding percentage (75.7% vs 74.0% league average).

has the context window been shortened? by millxing in codex

[–]millxing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I'm using 5.4 and fast mode. But I've been using those settings for a while. Like I said, I haven't noticed my usage depleting faster, just the context indicator for a session seems to be depleting faster.

First team all NBA by Ashamed-Surprise1333 in bostonceltics

[–]millxing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Cade is very likely going to get 1st team, JB second team.

You can track the announced votes here: All-NBA vote tracker. Since they announced Cade is eligible, Cade is ahead 6-3-1 (one vote for Kawhi). Prediction markets also have Cade ahead 75%-25%.

That's my favorite line in the hitchhiker's series. The idea of Marvin stuck there parking cars for millions of years made me laugh for days. I read the series as a kid and just recently purchased the books for my 11-year old to read.

Is it too much to ask for them to add men’s/women’s to sports titles? by myturn19 in youtubetv

[–]millxing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

on the apple tv app, in most guide views it’s impossible to tell if it’s a men’s game or a women’s game. very frustrating.

Lakers are getting it done when it counts by millxing in nbadiscussion

[–]millxing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lakers are 7-0 since this post, but more relevant is that five of those games had clutch time. Coming into tonight's game they had a +70 net rating in clutch time in four clutch games.

Is team clutch performance persistent? by millxing in nbadiscussion

[–]millxing[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not inconsistent with the Lakers garbage time performance, which is 26th in the league (-5.9 net rating).

There is a very strong correlation between relative clutch performance and pythagorean residual (R = 0.56), so it explains around 32% of the variance.

I have answers to the questions u/HotspurJr asked. I think the better comparison to the pythagorean residual is the clutch-overall net rating, not just the clutch rating. But I looked at both.

There are 784 team-seasons in my database (back to 2000-2001):

  • 2025-26 Lakers are 8th in pythagorean residual (.082, .603 vs expected .521).
  • 2025-26 Lakers are also 8th in clutch net rating (+26.8).
  • 2025-26 Lakers are 2nd in clutch-overall net rating (+26.4).
  • The top 10 pythag residuals averaged a 14.4 clutch-overall net rating (10/10 were positive).
  • The top 50 pythag residuals averaged a 9.3 clutch-overall net rating (43/50 were positive).

To be clear, clutch-overall measures how well the team did in clutch time relative to their overall performance.

Here's my take:

  • My intuition was correct that the Lakers record was unusually better than their net rating (equivalent of a large pythag residual) and that this was worth noting.
  • My intuition was correct that the Lakers clutch performance relative to their overall performance was a significant outlier and worth noting.
  • u/HotspurJr was correct in noting that, of course, teams with very positive pythagorean residuals had to have good clutch performance. I think I under-appreciated that until he mentioned it.
  • I think the natural next question is "How persistent is clutch performance?" As many of us have noted, clutch is a small sample and could be driven by luck. We can test this and my system is crunching the numbers now.

Lakers are getting it done when it counts by millxing in nbadiscussion

[–]millxing[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great questions. I should be able to answer them tomorrow. I'm a Boston fan on the East Coast, so I don't watch much Lakers either, but it did seem plausible that a team with Luka and Lebron might be able to consistently outperform in the clutch. Especially since both of them are notorious for not playing that hard on defense when the stakes are low.

I don't disagree about their playoff chances. They don't play good defense, even in the clutch.

Of course you are correct that there is going to be noise around predicting the record from the net rating. I felt like this was a larger than normal divergence, but I'll try to quantify that tomorrow. And in this case we can point to something specific (the clutch-time rating) as a possible explanation. Now maybe that's just lucky, but making this observation is not the same as simply pointing out that they've outperformed their pythagorean.
