David I tend to use some of these analytical tools to confirm what l see with my eyes . An example , Pavs was going downhill fast from an eyeball viewpoint , the analytics only confirmed this trend . Last season my daughter would often text me saying my goodness what’s up with Pavs and she is not an analytics follower

To me it's not as much about how we define Good and Bad. We know what Good and Bad look like. It's more about how we define categories of Good, and categories of Bad. And also, how we cross reference different sets of eyes. After all, DeBoer and Spott clearly didn't see the same thing, otherwise Pavelski's minutes would have been proportional to his worth. Not trying to be argumentative here -- just saying, our eyes can be deceiving. (Just not in Pavelski's case)

Ah even though I really like DeBoer he just couldn’t mentally accept Pavs decline even in the play offs when asked about Pavs he kept saying he will turn it round or words to that affect . Let’s face it Pavs was PDB s favorite player
