05 / Notes
WHAT THE LOG SAYS
RECORD
01
0-30
DCS finished 0-30, 16th in the league by wins.
A 0.0% win rate over 30 games, outscoring opponents by -31.7 points a night. Their net rating of -41.6 ranks 16th, and the point margin says that record was worth 0.3 wins.
CONTEXT
02
-29.2
DCS rate 16th on the Simple Rating System.
Margin alone would put them at -31.7 points a game; the schedule they played rated 1.9, the 1st hardest in the league over the 30 games whose opponent is known. The two together rate them at -29.2, and they disagree with the raw margin by 2.5 points.
EFFICIENCY
03
104.1 / 145.7
DCS scored 104.1 and conceded 145.7 points per 100 possessions.
Offence ranks 16th, defence 16th — and on defence lower is better. Across 2,288 possessions at a pace of 76.3, that is a net rating of -41.6.
MARIUS
04
34.9
DCS scored 34.9 on the MARIUS Score.
Half of that is true shooting (54.2%), 30% is assists per game (21.9 — 16th in the league) and 20% is ball security (8.3 turnovers a game, 10th — where lower is better).
MARIUS
05
10.9%
DCS gave the ball away on 10.9% of their possessions.
Basketball-Reference's definition puts the turnover rate at 10.2% of plays used — 8.3 turnovers per game. Both are shown because they answer slightly different questions: one is per possession, the other per play.
ANOMALY
06
103-108
Their best night was a 103-108 loss against TBS.
Game 5, a net rating of -6.5 on 77.2 possessions. They made 40 of 69 shots and pulled in 29 rebounds. It came on the road.
ANOMALY
07
47-128
Their worst night was a 47-128 loss against OAK.
Game 22, a net rating of -109.6. They turned the ball over 11 times and gave up 24 points in the paint.
RECORD
08
0/30
Their longest winning run was 0 games; the longest losing run 30.
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 1 games decided by five points or fewer (3.3%) and 24 decided by twenty or more (80.0%).
RECORD
09
0-14
At home DCS went 0-14; on the road 0-16.
0.0% of home games won against 0.0% away. Their home net rating was -40.1 and their away net rating -42.8 — the same team, two different levels.
CONTEXT
10
+2.1
DCS's scoring margin was -30.6 a game at home and -32.7 on the road.
That is a home-court edge of 2.1 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
20.5
DCS's performance swung 20.5 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
$160.0M
DCS spent $160.0M to go 0-30.
That is $13.3M a player for a season without a win — every dollar bought the worst record in the league.
