Perk one of the worst analysts of all time

[@BunnyP3]

@@datbul "Analysts" A lot of them are just commentators. Nothing they provide is analytical. Calling Perk an analysts is an insult to the profession.

[@datbul]

@@BunnyP3 loooool. fair.

[@jagr06]

@@BunnyP3 What are analysts? "someone whose job is to study or examine something in detail, in order to discover or understand more about it and often to make predictions (= statements about what will happen in the future) relating to it : a financial/political/banking/industry analyst." By this definition they are indeed analysts and commentators. So it's not insulting to call perk or SAS or anyone a Analysts but they are clowns that say certain things for views and entertainment; because if they didn't no one would watch it. People can easily analyze the games and stats by themselves they don't need ESPN, they only watch it to hear the people thoughts.

@9:38 they forgetting 2022. Warriors v Denver 1-3; losing regular season against Memphis; Warriors vs Dallas 1-3, if I’m not mistaken Celtics beat them twice. Warriors had losing record against all the teams they faced on way to chip. So Perk Warriors having 1-10 against top teams while warriors were on suspension or injured doesn’t tell full story. C’mon man. I know you know better. Not saying warriors will make a deep run, I’m just saying reason perk giving ain’t a reason.

[@trashboatttt]

bruh you can't use stats from a whole 2 seasons ago and add no context. Literally has nothing to do with this. Warriors were 20x better in 2022 then they are now. Before Draymond got suspended you weren't playing good.They lose against the better teams bc they aren't good enough it is not rocket science. In 2022 warriors were top 5 in both offense and defense. Now they are around 11th for offense and 14th for defense. You can make a take out of optimism of the good of the past , but don't pretend like it is a profound correlating fact. Admit your take is out of hope. You warriors fans just refuse to accept this is not the same team.
