This subject has been touched on to some extent but not explicitly addressed. I was wondering whether or to what extent these underclassmen hurt their...
Does anyone have the BAA/NBA's all-time complete, player by player stats loaded as an excel, possibly access file? I'm looking to do some math, possibly some...
I have updated my statistics base thru 2001, and for fun I have Lakers careers (and sub-careers) ranked in the same manner as my infamous all-time list. I...
David Aldridge of ESPN is very good. He tells it straight and occasionally makes a very keen observation. He definitely did with the Clippers trade for Elton...
At the risk of losing any semblance of an sanity or objective analysis, I must say that I have no idea what the Nets are doing. Trading Marbury for Kidd makes...
And my take on the Suns' side of the trade - 1. The Suns' biggest problem this year was scoring points, and Kidd never has developed a dependable outside shot...
THis will be more of an emotional posting than an analytical one. As a nets fan, I do not understand any reason for this trade. I know the nets need depth...
A chart showing players who played in 2 consecutive seasons, listing the year, number of players qualifying, minutes from previous season, minutes from year...
I really don't use player rankings for anything other than the most coarse look at players out there. When I do struggle with the numbers out there, I...
Having referred to both methods for calculating Net Pts per 48 minutes, here are the #'s along with the average used before. I will discuss at the bottom my...
A couple of weeks back, in the APBR room, a comment I made about the year 1977, (with the ABA merger, perhaps talent concentration reached a peak then) evolved...
It occurred to me a few weeks ago that perhaps flexibility -- the ability to do a lot of different things -- may be the hallmark of a good defender. It seems...
I found an error in the Laker defensive compilation for the 5/21 game. The attached file overwrites the previous one.... There was no way that Tyronn Lue had 7...
I know this was a while ago, but I've been traveling. I actually missed the end of this series and, given the scores, I'm glad I did. This game and the...
Some notes - Ervin Johnson was hailed as the hero in my local paper for his defense. That doesn't happen much. I do generally consider him decent defensively,...
There are reports that Derek Anderson is demanding a huge pay raise from the Spurs. This, apparently, that could dictate that David Robinson would have to...
Thanks, yahoo. I correct an earlier post; McKie is having his 2nd great playoffs. His numbers for his 3 Philadelphia seasons: Pct. Sco. Reb. Ast. Total 1999...
(Quick G 1 notes before G 2) The Lakers did force the Spurs to shoot a lot from the outside, despite the supposed improvement out there this year. Robinson...
(It took me a while. I've been traveling and will be doing so a lot in the next 3 weeks.) Several obvious things in this game: - Dallas had a hard time...
I looked at the closeout game and felt like Christie got scorched. Bryant just killed him, unlike in Game 3, when it was Jackson who got beat by Bryant. The...
I scored the defense of this game extensively tonight to point out some of the difficulty in evaluating defense and to get some opinions on how to best handle...
Is there anything beyond my selective memory that suggests that Lenny Wilkens teams give up some big scoring games to people? Last night was AI getting 54....
Payton won election to the first team All-D for the 8th straight year. Does he deserve it? Some numbers. Below are shown several stats SteeleRank: Doug...
