As I've finally gotten a chance to compile some numbers from this past season, these are some of the interesting questions I haven't had a chance to follow up...
I hope this doesn't come off as a "whom is better than who" type thread, because that's not what I'm really shooting for. The hypothetical (and please bear...
I don't suppose any of us are really so naive as to believe a team's performance reflects equally on every member of that team. For the Spurs, between their...
Matchup probabilities have been discussed here before, but I haven't seen a study on their accuracy. So, in order to avoid finishing my study on how various...

Anyone want to tackle this one from ESPN: EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- MIT could break down the data and provide an insightful statistical analysis, but you don't...
And here's another one to study. What is consistency? And was Amare more consistent (presumably consistently good)? ... Maybe it's just me, but Amare was...
Watching the Laker game last night, a lot of people left the bar with 2 minutes to go and the Lakers down 6. Shaq had just fouled out and they considered it...

As before, this poll is to get a sense for how smart we are as a group. There isn't much individuality to be taken out of this. There's no money on it. I'm...
Something I'm not hearing about a lot in the national media is Seattle's resurgence. They were left for dead at the time of the Payton-Allen trade, but since...
I bring this up, not as yet another new thread in the never-ending mega-thread of the existence of hot hands, but rather as a follow-up to our discussion last...
