SEASON COUNTDOWN BEGINS/NBA

Starting today its 11 days till Opening Day.Thats a National Holiday in my book as it means we have some round all to observe.

- What I have always done over the years is evaluate the team and players in clusters of THREE GAMES.... Followed by a FIVE GAME cluster.

-Stats and trends as they envolve in groups of 3..... Total and review in the 5 game total.

- Did any stat or player maintain the 3 game trend ( improve or slip) after a total,of 5 games.

This gives a me a mini series of game groupings to better chart team/player progress.

- also wins and losses are broken up into 3 game series...what's the win/loss total every 3 gamesYou of course want to win as many 3 game series as you can.( 3-0,2-1 etc)

This system works very well with a young team as they will be subject to ups and downs and also provides me with a clear picture of their growth.

It allows a player to start with a clean slate every 3 games. I can then tally the stats I need accordingly.

That sounds like a good system to use. I am never that organized and just go off of my (poor) memory from prior games. I mainly look to decision making on players as well as consistency from their shots. I do not have enough basketball smarts to really judge anything else with confidence.

Just enjoy the games as you always do! We're all wired into how we watch games differently ....do,what's best for you.. Just make sure you have some good snacks.

I tend to do the exact same thing. I watch for things like confidence, consistency, IQ, and passion. If I see a player than exhibits those things I'm in love. Lol. I'm typically not a huge stat guy, but they can be important to evaluate as well.


Stats are for losers. :P

This guy agrees....

I'll be quite interested to read your early evaluations. I also agree that opening night always has a holiday feel, Halloween or not. :cool:
