Interesting, but obvious

Was looking at the Gamecast on ESPN.com and something on the scoring graph really stood out that I think we already knew. If you look at almost all of our games, our scoring graph is usually a staircase, whereas our opponents are typically a slope. We all know we are offensively challenged, but when you look at the graph and see the long periods of time we typically get stuck on a number, it's nuts. Curious where we'd rank in average minutes between points.

Look at last column. It shows the average lead or deficit throughout our games. A pretty good metric to see if our games were close or not.

never seen that before. Quite interesting graph. would love to see more data on the y axis though. looks like we went sideways for 20 mins from 5 left to 5 left.
but as you said, we all knew that.

Thanks for posting that link. That’s a lot of information!

FT% is pathetic.
