Pete's, all I have done regarding the BJ debate is state objective facts that happen to contradict your narrative. In the NKU thread I reached out to ask for any explanation and rationale for the team record splits with and without BJ. A few posters, on both sides of the debate, have expressed theories for the discrepancy. We have yet to see an explanation from you. Setting emotional reaction aside, what is your rationale for 4-3 vs 3-9 records against peers, or 5-3 vs 9-11 overall? Is it BJs fault that we lost it YSU even though he had 22/8/4 or the fact that EJ and Pratt combined for 5/25? I guess if BJ was actually good at hoops he’d tell them to shoot better and make more shots. You want a theory? Here’s it basketball is a very complex game that really comes down to who shot the ball better on a given night and what way the ball bounced. Last season the 76ers were 9-4 without Embiid which is 69% winning percentage. Without Embiid they were 45-24 for 65%. In 2022 Memphis was 19-2 during the season at 1 point without JA. So we’re both these teams actually better without there superstars or did a few breaks just go there way during these stretches that helped them win?

Not only can basketball be complex, so can team (group) dynamics, as was discussed a few posts ago. Having stated that, the conference has so much parity from one through nine, that luck comes into play. However, it is up to the team to generate it's own good luck and minimize its own bad luck.
