Subject: TSNP/game by opponent


  Posted by: Guru - [330592710] Tue, Dec 02, 2008, 12:05

I worked up some quick averages showing total TSNP by game for each opponent. For example, teams facing Golden State average a total of 223 TSNP per game, while teams facing the Cavs manage to produce only 171 TSNP/game.

Here's the complete list, sorted in descending order:

1 GSW 223
2 NYK 220
3 Was 210
4 OKC 209
5 Sac 206
6 LAC 206
7 Chi 202
8 NJN 200
9 Tor 199
10 Ind 198
11 Den 197
12 Min 197
13 Mem 196
14 Phi 196
15 Mil 193
16 LAL 193
17 Atl 193
18 Pho 191
19 Mia 191
20 Dal 190
21 Det 188
22 Cha 187
23 Hou 187
24 SAS 185
25 Orl 183
26 Nor 180
27 Uta 180
28 Por 174
29 Bos 172
30 Cle 171

I wonder how closely this correlates with actual points scored per game.

I just ran a quick correlation of the above TSNP/G vs opponent's (real) points scored. It is rather similar. Correlation coefficient is 90%.
