10 out of 15 games on the road to start is brutal.

Well I'm 6-9 despite playing 9 of 15 games at home. Really discouraging start.

12 of 15 on the road for me.

What is the homecourt advantage?

It's worth a couple percentage points of shooting on either side I believe.

I'm not savvy enough to have a data scraper, and there'd be noise in single-season size samples - but I'd think you could reverse engineer the precise home court effect by comparing home/road splits against the same team and averaging it across maybe 5-10 seasons.

There might be a few niche uses for that kind of info, but in general I just go off the same rule of thumb robusk mentioned.

I've done a lot of data aggregating on other WiS stuff and let's just say the object modified by the variable is almost always modified by 2%.

Michael Jordan has already fouled out 4 times.

"Fair Jordan? More like Foul Jordan as MJ begins season with an avalanche of hacks."

Spreadsheet officially updated to be per 100 stats instead of per game stats.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We've got the same birthday!

(now both of us will go 2-3 or 1-4)

Either Jordan is going to keep averaging 22% more towels than RL and I am going to suck *** all season or........ things will stabilize? Probably the former.

Also, fun little stat: 6 cycles in and every one of my teams has played an overtime game.
