Player Review Part Two: Point Guards
Ah, the point guard position. The Hornets' best position historically (Bogues, Davis) was taken to new heights this year by MVP-runner up Chris Paul. Bobby Jackson started the year in a back-up platoon with Pargo, only to be replaced with Mike James midway through the year. Pargo's shooting came...
Player Review Part Two: Shooting Guards
A rookie and a veteran were called upon to man the shooting guard position. They did it well. A game-by-game look at Mo-Pete and JuJu, using Hollinger Game score. Yellow line's 5 game moving average, and there's some other cool numbers on top. Click for larger: Best Game: November 14th vs....

Player Review Part Two: Centers
The Hornets weren't too deep in the frontcourt, but they definitely had good size in their centers. A quick game-by-game look at how Tyson Chandler and Hilton Armstrong did this year using John Hollinger's Game Score (essentially an individual game version of PER). Included on top are Chandler and...
Staturday: And Then There Were Three ...
Blez seems to find himself scraping the bottom of the barrel, but here I am, front and center. I have neither song to sing nor any stories of alien invaders, bent on imposing rationality on the statistical world to amuse you. I merely offer some numbers – simple numbers – that will hopefully paint...
