Wow, these are even better than last season's. I have been looking forward to them for quite a while now. Great job, Tango.
Interesting stuff... According to the trend, the Rockets will be the 5th seed with a possiblity og being the number 4 seed. ...
looks great Tango. I'm surprised the Rsquare is that high, but why is the Rsquare the same for them all?
Hey guys - thanks for all the compliments. I was hoping there would be more discussion about observations. Maybe everyone is still soaking it in ! I've toyed around with doing this for all NBA teams through the course of the season but alas real life gets in the way since the process is pretty manual! If anyone knows how I can contact a group like Stats Inc. etc. please give me a holler. I've been unsuccessful. It would be nice to get the stats dumped as a flat file or pulled from a database or something instead of copying and pasting from websources like I have to do right now. ---------- arno_ed: Thanks for catching the r-squared values. Silly MS Excel. The graphs are correct but the r-squared values don't change unless you tell Excel to disable the r-squared display and then re-enable it again. Here are the actual r-squared values: Rockets: .9432 Spurs: .9929 Suns: .9825 Sonics: .9874 Mavericks: .9743 Kings: .9596 Grizzlies: .9602 Lakers: .6653 The Lakers r-squared puzzles me since their W/L line is relatively flat. That's about the highest r-squared I could get using Excel.
Man, If you study this closely enough it give ahigh degree of truth to JVG's claim that we have the toughest remaining schedule. Our moving average is below .5. That is even after our latest road swing. The trend also shows how well we play against above .500 teams, whic, barring the Howard injury, bodes well for us to finish strong. Nice Work.
Tango, I remember these charts from last year but did not really know that was what I was clicking on to by your thread title. What with the JH injury even I almost missed this thread. I imagine there are quite a few who are missing your excellent post. Thanks, I love this stuff .
Yeah, I understand. It's gonna make the graph messy and probably very hard to read. I was thinking may be apply different weights for teams. but that would be highly subjective.
