I like to look at Sagarin's ratings vs. top 10 and top 16 teams as a measure of how competitive a team is against quality opponents. You'll note...
he and steve novak had a mini 3 point shooting contest. and brooks won.
it was also called "illegal defense" back then ;)
the easy option on the other side will be to take the outside shot, yeah. but if they are committed to abusing that defense, they will have to...
ball moves faster than bodies. plus even if they rotate, their center is out of the paint, so their defense will be distorted as hell....
the solution to fronting i think will be aaron, kyle, and von attacking the basket RELENTLESSLY from the side opposite where yao is being fronted....
Whether its being matched up with Utah (worst matchup possible) two years in a row, our stars getting mysterious long-term injuries every year,...
the solution to the fronting is clear. No team fronts on a regular basis over the course of the regular season because it screws up everything...

i would guess that it has to do with the fact that olajuwon, thorpe, and horry were all really good rebounders. for guards to leak out early you...
i dont think they try to create "summary" stats. going off of what i've heard from morey, he prefers more granular stats and analysis.
whats the correlation between good defensive teams and fast break buckets? i'd assume that most good defensive teams do not break a lot, just...
no, no, no, no, dig UP.
second round? no thanks! i want . . . FIRST ROUND!!!
this thread makes baby jesus cry.
