A fantastic read from two of the sites friends, Arsine Khayoyan and David Dickey . Basketball fans often groan when they open the NBA page to find that a sports writer’s ad hoc statistical gymnastics have the Jazz favored for the championship, or the Bucks with a higher power ranking than the Spurs. It’s been said that “an unsophisticated forecaster uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts - for support rather than for illumination.” So as avid followers of the NBA, we decided
