By the numbers

[Clutch20]

My guesses for the next game-
Offense - advantage- Mavs
Defense - advantage- Spurs
3 pt. shots- advantage- Mavs
Rebounds- advantage- Mavs
Assists- Spurs
Steals/Turnovers - even
Blocks - even

*Intangibles - length-matchups, clogging the paint/lane by def. is a minus for Spurs penetrating,
matching intensities for extensive periods, starts of periods going to agressors, runs made end of 3rd & beginning of 4th,
3pt%'s in favor of agressor, not favoring team falling behind
*(mine)

Since when are the Mavs a good assist team? Every time I watch them I always here about how they don't get many assists.

See, I was right. The Mavericks average 20.1 APG while the Spurs average APG. I don't know where you're getting your numbers from.

[Clutch20]

head to heads, Spurs-Mavs 06-07

Oh so this is averages versus each other? I see. Okay, makes more sense now.

[Clutch20]

rivalry factor impacts seasonal avgs.

[Kori Ellis]

I still don't understand where you are getting the Mavs assist stat.

On the season, they average 20.1.

In the 3 games against the Spurs this year, they have had 15, 23 and 16 for an average of 18.0. :wtf

[Kori Ellis]

Also in the 3 games against the Spurs this season, the Mavs averaged 92 points, not 100.9.

Am I confused where these stats are coming from?

[Trainwreck2100]

Also how can you have intangibles in a "by the numbers thread

[Clutch20]

typo - assists-Mavs - 20.1

header addition - shooting%'s

amendments per notification

[peskypesky]

seems like Clutch20 has some 'splaining to do.

So they aren't the head-to-head games against each other, they are each team's overall season stats? (Contrary to what you said earlier?)

[phyzik]

my head hurts

intangibles self-explanatory isolated by asterisk

Okay, so I actually was right. This is just confusing.

Yes, it's just a comparison over their overall season stats, not a comparison of their 3 head-to-head matchups.
