Article archive

Since the internet has been subsumed by the ubiquitous "load more" button everywhere, it's difficult to find certain articles. I've decided to make an archive of my work to make that easier; at the very least I'll use it frequently when I can't remember where I posted something or what my method was years ago. Just a warning that this won't be updated religiously. But I will post things chronologically in each section with the most recent at the top, and the recommended section will just have a few of my favorite pieces I think people should at least try first.

The fall of San Antonio, leaders in offensive fouls, Kyrie Irving and the injury bug, Toronto treated as the 30th team, Grizzlies lose by 61 points, all-NBA guard spots, +/- for hedging versus switching, what it means to be good or bad versus the best teams, and how to quantify tanking.
