05 / Notes
WHAT THE LOG SAYS
RECORD
01
21-9
CHI finished 21-9, 4th in the league by wins.
A 70.0% win rate over 30 games, outscoring opponents by 11.5 points a night. Their net rating of 14.6 ranks 3rd, and the point margin says that record was worth 24.8 wins.
CONTEXT
02
+11.3
CHI rate 3rd on the Simple Rating System.
Margin alone would put them at 11.5 points a game; the schedule they played rated -0.8, the 13th hardest in the league over the 30 games whose opponent is known. The two together rate them at 11.3, and they disagree with the raw margin by -0.2 points.
EFFICIENCY
03
137.9 / 123.3
CHI scored 137.9 and conceded 123.3 points per 100 possessions.
Offence ranks 5th, defence 1st — and on defence lower is better. Across 2,366 possessions at a pace of 78.9, that is a net rating of 14.6.
MARIUS
04
71.4
CHI scored 71.4 on the MARIUS Score.
Half of that is true shooting (70.0%), 30% is assists per game (27.6 — 5th in the league) and 20% is ball security (7.3 turnovers a game, 5th — where lower is better).
MARIUS
05
9.3%
CHI gave the ball away on 9.3% of their possessions.
Basketball-Reference's definition puts the turnover rate at 8.6% of plays used — 7.3 turnovers per game. Both are shown because they answer slightly different questions: one is per possession, the other per play.
ANOMALY
06
115-73
Their best night was a 115-73 win against HOU.
Game 20, a net rating of 51.9 on 80.9 possessions. They made 48 of 69 shots and pulled in 45 rebounds. It came at home.
ANOMALY
07
103-116
Their worst night was a 103-116 loss against NYE.
Game 23, a net rating of -16.4. They turned the ball over 9 times and gave up 58 points in the paint.
RECORD
08
4/2
Their longest winning run was 4 games; the longest losing run 2.
Read off the game log in order, so a streak is a real sequence of results rather than a count of wins. They also played 6 games decided by five points or fewer (20.0%) and 10 decided by twenty or more (33.3%).
RECORD
09
12-3
At home CHI went 12-3; on the road 9-6.
80.0% of home games won against 60.0% away. Their home net rating was 18.6 and their away net rating 10.6 — the same team, two different levels.
CONTEXT
10
+6.4
CHI's scoring margin was 14.7 a game at home and 8.3 on the road.
That is a home-court edge of 6.4 points a game. Across the league the host outscores the visitor by -1.4, so their own building is worth more to them than the average one.
STYLE
11
21.3
CHI's performance swung 21.3 net rating points between games.
The standard deviation of their per-game net rating, across 30 games with a box score. The league's steadiest side sits near 18.8; the wildest near 33.6.
CONTRACT
12
$40.0M
CHI pays Zay Russell $40.0M — 26.3% of its payroll.
A roster of 11 on $152.0M, comfortably under the cap. The spending is spread fairly evenly across the squad.
