2009-2010 Pre-season Game 1 Highlights: Denver at Utah
Do any of you remember last year’s pre-season game that was supposed to be the worst ever , but ended up being pretty exciting (for fans, as it went to Overtime, with the good guys winning by a point)? Well, those same two teams faced off last night and here are the highlights (via YouTube – ...

Notice
Hello all. No doubt some have noticed a general lack of posting of late. Last off-season I had loads of free time, and enthusiasm, for posting. This off-season things have been a little less super when it comes to free time. (Or some would say, time management ) I kept trying to make goals for ...

Deron Williams / Ronnie Brewer 6th best Backcourt in NBA ?
Justin DeFeo, of Sir Charles in Charge, recently posted a ranking of starting backcourts. Here I take a look at Deron and Ronnie and further explore just how good (or bad) they really are. You may be surprised with how some parts of their game are overhyped, and others underhyped. Stats & analysis !

Rethinking Go Rating
I find that some tweaks are in order . . . so I’m re-working some of the numbers . This has caused a delay in the big tables of Go Ratings ( that we’ll use for frames of reference down the line). I’m rethinking the issue of using 77% (numerically, .770) as the baseline for Free Throws . Over ...

These aren’t John Hollinger’s dad’s statistics
The current stats that the NBA keeps track of are either: not good enough, misleading, or taking space over better stats. As a numerophile I created five new ones: Pure Hustle, Defensive Gambling, and Gestalt Offense (GO Rating) to name a few. Comments and suggestions totally welcome!

Probably why you’re not going to see any Indians in the NBA anytime soon
Okay, I love India . I love Indian food . I love Indian people . I am, ethnically, Indian . I’ve lived there a few times in my life. I even blogged about the very real full court press the NBA using to gain market share and popularity in the largest democracy by population in ...

If you aren’t on twitter , then this is news: the Jazz are going to be bringing back Ronnie Price . (also confirmed by 1320 KFAN by txt message and via Twitter and the PR department of the Utah Jazz , via Twitter ) Of course, this was a mere formality after Sloan was talking about Price in ...

Who else is sick with the Great Hype surrounding Andrew “Bust”num?
A take a look at Bynum and retch at the thought of elevating him to the pantheon of best bigmen ever. Expore this fallacy when you look at his first 18 games in the playoffs, look at how he compares to other bigmen, even 21 year olds. He's closer to Ostertag than Hakeem at this stage Lakers fans.

Round 1, Game 5 Postmortem: Game over man . . . game over
The Lakers , the vastly better team, won in 5 games . The final score of each of their wins and the final tally of wins (4 to 1) display a level of dominance that I believe marginalizes how close some of the games were. Perhaps in another world (or on game consoles) fans will be able to see how ...

Round 1, Game 4 Postmortem: Ko-Bee! Ko-Bee! Ko-Bee!
Wow, what that guy ever focused, or what? He was a man on a mission, and that mission was: to reassert my dominance on a small market team. For those of you who didn’t watch the game let me cut to the chase: the mission was successful. The Lakers are up 3-1, and now on the verge of closing out ...

Round 1, Game 4: It’s simple . . .
There really is not much to say about this game. And there’s really no reason to hype up this game at all either. Both teams know what is at stake. For the Lakers it’s the potential set up blow before the knock out. You know that the Lakers would much rather win this game, and end it at home – ...
