When calculating basketball pace, do I use the average of the 2 teams, or do I take the league average as a base and compare those 2 teams to the league average?
Example 1:
New York Knicks Pace: 90.4
Washington Wizards Pace: 92.2
Expected pace of the game: (92.2 + 90.4)/2 = 91.3
Example 2:
New York Knicks Pace: 90.4 (98.4% of LgAvg)
Washington Wizards Pace: 92.2 (100.3% of LgAvg)
League Average Pace: 91.9
Expected pace of the game: (0.984 x 1.003) x 91.9 = 90.7
