Comments on: BBR Rankings: Schedule-Adjusted Offensive and Defensive Ratings (February 4, 2011) http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=8745 NBA & ABA Basketball Statistics & History Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:56:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6 By: DSMok1 http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=8745&cpage=1#comment-42433 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 20:40:22 +0000 http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=8745#comment-42433 I just updated my rest-adjusted team ratings; I also moved to using an exponent of 2 after doing research on that. (Basically, these ratings should now match Neil's above, except for the rest adjustment). I also added all data points back to December 1st for margin, offensive rating, defensive rating, and pace, and put them in a spreadsheet. The associated Google Motion Chart helps us see... that Utah's defense has fallen off a cliff.

Also, I'll look into the feedback system issue.

I've been getting an internal server error for about a week now. I'll post my suggestion here for the time being:

I noticed that you have Landry Fields listed as a forward only. He's started nearly every game for the knicks at SG this year, and is routinely listed as a G or G-F on other sites. See here:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=4274

I thought it'd make sense to make the change as he's routinely touted as leading all guards in rebounding. Thanks.

In fact, he and Moses are the only guys to average 20 & 15 in the 3-point era, period. It was so much easier to put up those kinds of numbers in earlier seasons because the pace was so fast and FG% was so low. Love plays in an extremely fast-paced environment by 2011 standards, but the T-Wolves' league-leading 86.1 FGA/G would rank last in the league in 1961 -- by 18.7 FGA/G! Let that sink in for a second: the slowest team in 1961 took almost 20 more shots per game than the fastest team in 2011.

#7 - Because these are based on points scored/allowed per 100 possessions, and those are based on points scored/allowed per game. These are pace-neutral and therefore more accurate, but we can't calculate them for seasons prior to 1987, so using per-game averages is more useful for all of pro basketball history.

Also interesting to see the Spurs and Heat as such balanced teams, my perception was the Spurs were better on offense and the Heat on D.

#4 - Utah's been pretty fortunate to be 29-21. They've played more like a 25-25 team.
