Regarding Franchise-by-Franchise HCA. I wonder if opponent's travelling times/distances could be accounted for, along the lines of http://weaksideawareness.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/distance-traveled-by-nba-teams-during-a-season/ Philly, Boston and New York are geographically very close so it doesn't...

Thanks for posting the screenshot. Turns out there are two themes for this board and only subsilver displays those icons (and not prosilver which I was viewing it in by default). I've changed over.

Hello :) Thanks for replying. Your analysis is obviously much deeper than mine but I thought I'd share what I'd tabulated over the past couple of hours. I know these won't display correctly :oops: but the following is a list of times teams finished with regular season records in the Top through bott...

Hello! I'm new. Be nice ;) After reading Evanz post calling for the Warriors to enact a scorched-earth policy (http://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2011/6/25/2243499/where-to-next-an-alternative-vision-of-the-warriors-long-term-future), I was wondering how you guys would measure/rank the relative succes...
