Is it sad or pathetic or sadthetic that I knew the Rodman game was against the Bucks even before clicking the link to double-check?

Jason Caffey had a nice two-handed reverse dunk in that game and I'm ... I'm just going to stop now.

GameScore is one of Hollinger's models (http://www.basketball-reference.com/about/glossary.html). You can see that Hollinger likes to rate rebounds at .7 and .3 x the value of point for offensive and defensive respectively. So like PER it does tend to rate points pretty highly.

very nice feature and quite useful as right away i was intrigued by seeing P.Ewing rank #1 in GameSc while D.Rodman was tied for 5th with a rating 4.6pts lower while having and incredible stat line that produced 10 more possessions than Ewing tho Rodman drew less fouls and scored less over more minutes but in general i'd prefer my team have Rodman's line than Ewing's as his efficiency was so high and created more attempts to score. is GameScore in general more favored towards points? and is this a normal criticism others have had. i'd love some further perspective her in the comments. thankyou
