(8:10) In the Minutiae Minute, Riley tackles the Hawks/Thunder jersey snafu and Richard Jefferson as a color commentator (29:45). Then, they ask the question is setting the NBA world aflame right now: are nerds ruining basketball? In their own take on the "analytics vs. eye test" debate, they break down the viral Twitter video by @MasterTes, discuss the role that gatekeeping and social media contrarianism have on NBA discourse, whether paywalls are to blame, and the important but not oft-discussed racial component of the analytics debate. (33:50). Finally, they wonder what can be done to marry the ideas of the eye test and analytics to create a basketball world where both are appreciated (1:14:45).
