Comments on: Win Probability of Utah Jazz Comebacks http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=8129 NBA & ABA Basketball Statistics & History Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:56:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6 By: dsong http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=8129&cpage=1#comment-33008 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 20:25:15 +0000 http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=8129#comment-33008 Cool graphs.

Utah has had some really cool comebacks lately! With that said, I think it raises a red flag and they might want to avoid the slow starts in the future. It's much easier to win games from the lead!

As for the actual probabilities - I think in-game betting odds is probably the best metric, but that's hard to find. In any case the comeback against Miami was absolutely ridiculous - as Millsap did his best Larry Bird imitation! Who would've thought?

I'd like to see more infographics like Flip Flop Fly Ball, which would add a cool dimension to the site, and things like this are gold. I noticed that about the 0.0% to beat Miami, too; I'm glad you wrote a disclaimer for that. Possessions are huge in basketball, especially late in games.
