Sir, thanks for the reply, but I don't see one. …

Could be wrong about this but I just have a quick question: seems as if Basketball Reference and the official NBA website both track defensive win shares but have different ways of calculating it. Now Basketball Reference explains theirs but the NBA, insofar as I can tell, does not. Does anyone know...

Hi, thank you, I did mean the current one playing, but either way it's just an example, so any player will do. I was hoping someone would be willing to get into the nitty-gritty of the math. Or at least start me in the right direction. Ty.

Hi, is anyone here familiar with predicting the total points scored in a game? I am having trouble with this sample problem I was given: "All things being equal, how would a total be affected by whether, say, Isiah Thomas plays or sits out?" I don't want to lead anyone as I don't want to i...

This is from another since-disappeared user in some long-ago post: "The 'pace' that a team records in a season is actually the average of league avg pace and that team's innate pace. The Clippers are an avg pace team at 95.8 poss/48. The Jazz are slowest at 91.0. "When they meet, the Clipp...

and apparently they are trying to play at a pace = 91.0 - (95.8-91.0) = 86.2 So the Jazz are tying to play slower but basically the Clippers won't let them? So if the Jazz were to play a team with an average identical pace of 91, you can instead expect a pace of 86.2 (assuming 95.2 is the average p...

Thanks. Makes more sense now. But I'm guessing those numbers only apply to those three specific years of WNBA data? Whereas I happen to be looking for NBA data. Ty.

Sir, thank you. I appreciate it.

Hi, I'm confused as all heck and thought I'd try asking for help here. I'm reading a book called "Conquering Risk" in which the author details a regression formula for calculating expected pace. I feel as though he's skipping over some perhaps valuable information, likely some basic math s...

Hi, this may or may not be comparatively simpler math than a lot of you are used to. Hopefully it is? I'm looking into NBA standings on a given date, for which the only available source is apparently Basketball Reference. I just want to double-check on something: Are standings ordered by Win % or by...
