Some Interesting NBA Stats
Here are some league statistics that I found interesting going into the NBA playoffs. These are teams ranked in order offesnively and defensively by points per shot. The adjusted FG percentage is weighted for 3 pt. shoots.
I also included some of the top individual players ranked by this category.
I don’t think that the Mavericks are going to do it this year. I don’t think you can win with a defense that is as poor as theirs is. Certainly the Spurs and the Kings look like strong contenders at least. These teams have got to match Shaq and Kobe output. In the East how about a battle between Detroit and New Jersey?
