"Average margin in the NBA this year was 10.31 points per game"

??? but this:

... says Spurs are best in PPG diff with +7.8, and ATL is worst -9.70, meaning everybody else is in between.

Where do you get 10.31 PPG diff for whole fricking league?

Hey, T_Porc, go kiss Musselman's ass. He's your kinda guy.

10 PPG isn't a close game, it isn't a blowout, it says .

What's the Spurs' record in close games, say 5 PPG diff? ... which is probably the kind of game the playoffs will be.

10.31 is the average point differential for every NBA game played this season, not the average of each team's individual point differential.

If every game was decided at the average point differential, and every team went 41-41, then every's teams point differential would be 0 but the average game in the NBA obviously would be some other number.

The difference is that mixed in to the Spur's data series for point differential are losses - my analysis didn't care who wins or loses... it is just the # of points that the average game is decided by.

Spurs have the most wins in the league by 10 pts or more 40-5

Spurs have the most wins in the league by 10 pts or more 40-5

Is there an echo in here?
