Good stuff, bro...

You should try to get it to DiLeo (if you haven't already).

Seeing as you mentioned it as a mitigating factor, is there anyway to see what percentage of Iggy's drives end "successfully" (made shot, trip to the line, kickout or alleyoop to an open teammate who makes the basket)?  Even if it's just seeing what % end with FTs would be nice.  Thanks a ton for the writeup and any future info your provide.

I think the thread title says it all.

This analysis is very depressing.  It suggests the Sixers are no where near close to contending as they are currently constructed.  If there was a way to parse out the data from just the win streak, I'd like to see those numbers and consider how the Sixers played during that time and now.  The team has lost the identity that it had or was developing, and they now have to relocate it.

The team is floundering now, because the coaches aren't doing anything to mix things up.  The rotation has become stale and there is no flow.  The only big who comes out consistently to set a screen is Speights. All is all I see less set plays and more one on one effort which is inevitably loosing basketball for a poor outside shooting team.

The defense is very inconsistent as well, too much switching is leaving the Sixers in easy mismatches.  The players should know before hand if they're going to switch or not depending on the resultant matchups.

It also suggests that if you get rid of Miller, you scuttle the season.
