Fun With Box Scores
In the NBA these days, it seems like there is a stat for everything. We’ve got PER, offensive efficiency ratings, defensive efficiency rating, and so on and so on.
It seems like every team in the league now employs their own stat guru. And while I’m not one to question the use of all these new statistics to evaluate NBA players (I actually kinda like them), I’m old school.
To me, all the new stats in the world can’t tell the story of an NBA game as well as the good, old fashioned box score.
Therefore, I’m starting a new feature today called “Fun With Box Scores”.
Every Monday, I’ll be posting some of the more interesting things that jumped out at me from the previous week’s box scores.
