Heard him say it, during that gay roundtable halftime show Wednesday.

Is this true?

[HoulihansTX]

No info, huh?

[brad89]

Is this true?

Yes, it's correct for the current season.

554-266 / 67.56%

37 games tied at the end of the first quarter removed.

Where do you get stats like that?

[HoulihansTX]

Thanks

Where do you get stats like that?

I have my own data but I don't think it would be too hard for someone with the right skills (that I don't have) to have a script work it out automatically using the NBA site.

Thanks

No problem

Here are the results for the 2010/11 regular season games if they mean anything to you...

757-416 / 64.5%

57 games removed.

@brad89-Anyway you could remove the clippers from that statset?

So only 2% below the mean. I'm sure its not significant enough to alter the data too much but I know theyre +6.8 1st Q AVG differential this season and theyre only 5th in the West at the moment so taking them out of games at home would make it a little stronger.

These numbers don't include the games from April 11 and all clippers games are still included.

I think you only wanted their home record of leading and then winning (17-5) but wasn't sure so hopefully that covers it, if not just let me know.
