Dan, of The Disciples of Clyde, is joined by Dre Alvarez, of Wages of Wins.

Among the items discussed - why is PER a flawed metric? How can advanced stats go mainstream? Why is Melo not as good as some people think? Do NBA players have to delude themselves to succeed? Why does Ken hate himself so much?

It’s about as good a time you can have with numbers that don’t involve ordering a pizza or a prostitute (or both, even.) And it lasts way longer than either.

As we talk about in the episode, please make sure to visit The NBA Geek. You’ll thank us later. And forever.

Songs used in this episode:

• The Idea of North - Shellac
• Prismism - Battles
• Pregenerate - June of 44

Ken got together with friend of the program Ethan Sherwood Strauss of Hoopspeak/TrueHoop/The Classical/Bleacher Report/a Monkees Cover Band to discuss modern problems.

Ken got a hair up his ass about an article in The Atlantic Monthly called “Is Facebook Making us Lonely?” and wondered whether the great stuff available to the 2012 NBA fan is actually making the experience of being a fan better than it was in 1992. The guys blabber on Skype about it for while, confident that you will download their dumbass voices and like it.

They also discuss Ethan’s hare-brained scheme to consolidate teams in bigger markets, his experience in the Warriors’ and Spurs’ locker rooms this week, why he has his pants off during the interview, and why Ken is either father of the year or a pretentious tool who will damage his children with high minded ideals.

Fun for all. One disclaimer: some critical comments are made about porn, so if you are one of our many porn-addicted listeners, try not to be offended.

Songs used in this episode:

• The Monk at the Disco – Bobby Bare Jr.
• Get it Right the First Time – Billy Joel

A couple of Knicks had memorable days for different reasons on Monday. Ken has a few thoughts about one random day on a random NBA team. A warning, this is a tad different and won’t be for everyone.

So, I’m trying a new thing. Every day, a song and an NBA thought. Dan’s Daily Shuffle, I’m calling it. http://docdandailyshuffle.tumblr.com/

New episode this week, I promise.
