Some interesting stats

grun

G-League
i apologise in advance if this has been already posted, i looked pretty thoroughly.

http://www.82games.com/simmons.htm - the uncredited guys at this website have calculated some pretty unique stats in response to something bill simmons said.

i know not every1 buys into stats, but for those that do here is basically what it reveals about our Kings:

* We seem to be ranked in the middle of the range for blowing leads as a % of leads we have going into the 4th qrtr.
* We seem to be fairly lowly ranked in terms of comeback wins as a % of 4th qrtr deficits.

(the site also compares this to last years stats)

* Our crunch time stats on offense are above the NBA average. We have good FT% in the crunch (about time) and naturally our assists are very good compared to the rest of the league.
* The most surprising and interesting stat i found was that our crunch time defense was ranked 5th in the league! Although we are miles behind the Spurs and lead a very tight pack behind us.

i know stats aren't everyone's cup of tea, because they often do not tell the whole story, but still think its good food for thought.

enjoy.
 
very much agreed.... but an optimist would say that the potential is there... i.e. a question of application not skill.
