It takes into account pace in order to determine number of possessions the player played. The goal, as I said, is to summarize statistical...
Pace does not correlate to winning%. Fast paced teams don't win any more than slow paced teams. Yards/completion, on the other hand, does correlate...
Also ... Scoring your points faster does not give you an extra edge in winning. Pace does not really correlate to offensive efficiency or winning%...
No, its getting to the crux of what matters -- outscoring your opponent. Let's say you have Marvin who averages 1.25 points per used possessions,...
I get it. Less shot clock usage, means more "teamwork", more players are involved. That may or may not help team efficiency, given the makeup of the...
LeBron? I'll go with LeBron. The question stands. Assuming same scoring efficiency and shots taken, why might it be better to use less shot clock...
Which one ... the guy who uses more time at the end of the shot clock, or the guy who dribbles the ball down more than others? Seriously, am I the...
"Kobe had 27+ PER against the Rockets, 30 Per against the Nuggets and shut down Melo after he torched Ariza Game 1, and 27.5 PER against the Magic...
I assume you mean LeBron instead of Kobe. Again, I'll ask. Why do you think that matters? This is basic stuff, and its a simple question. Maybe you,...
I don't know what that means.
The point I was making wasn't that Jordan had a better PER than Kobe. You selected Kobe's best statistical season, in his prime, and one of Jordan's...
Kobe's been an elite player for a long time, yes. But unlike Jordan, he was not a clear #1 player over that span. You could certainly make the case...
Alright, maybe someone else can answer the question. What does it matter if you score 2 points with 2 seconds left on the clock versus 14 seconds...
What does that mean?
I'm sorry .. is it just me or is Don Nelson a big, freaking joke of a coach? I see no discipline, no structure, no organization. And he seems to get...
What separated Jordan from pretty much anyone else, in terms of media and fan perception, was the duration over which he was considered the best...
You may also want to add: - that Jordan was accused of hogging the ball a TON in his early years (particularly 86-87) - Kobe actually got a higher...

Curry looked good to me. My first extended look at him.
Rockets hold on for the victory, winning 108 to 107. Rockets hit 12 threes, and get 14 steals. Difference maker was Brooks asserting himself on the...
