Default ? for Slam Dunk

Hi Slam,

Nice to see you around again, I'm sure you're getting pretty fired up for the season. I have little feel for how the home team Sixers will be this year. But I just can't see them having much success vs any teams with a strong inside presence. Around my area though everyone is focusing on the draft pick Salmons, as he's the first guy from the local HS to ever be drafted

Anyway, just one question, have you or anyone you know ever looked at minutes played by starters as a predictive stat. for either subsequent game's totals or sides.

No I don't. My guess is that most teams have a fairly standard rotation so the minutes played will be fairly close game to game. I do not use stats in my capping(nor my database) at all. I certainly look at game stats to assess why a game I did not watch or listen too had the outcome it did(thus helping me guage my power ratings), other than that stats play little role in my capping. I can tell you that back to back off overtime is very tough(certainly no secret) on teams so if that extra 5 minutes(or 10 ...) makes a difference chances are you may find something. Obviously depth will have to be factored into your research as well.
