This is a perfect response . I feel the same way when somebody passes me animal cruelty pamphlets on a college campus . Yeah , I mean i hate the idea that chickens are raised in a fucking shoebox and can ' t get up and move around and shit on each other and all that , but the reality of it is we have 7 . 4 billion mouths to feed on this planet , every day . We ' re hungry , and we like that it ' s relatively cheap to feed ourselves . That demand is never going away because nobody is going to give up eating . We ' re at the top of the food chain and something ' s gotta give . <| sep |> BBallref ' s ORTG is pretty much usageindependent , just how many points do you produce when you do use a possession . Guys like Tyson Chandler and Kyle Korver have really high ORTGs because they ' re very efficient on the few possessions they use . In this case , what that means is that Harden ' s higher usage won ' t help him much here . Paul ' s got a slightly higher TS %, and while Harden has a higher assist rate and better offensive rebounding , Paul gets significantly fewer turnovers , so his ORTG is higher .
