05 / Notes

WHAT THE LOG SAYS

  • RECORD

    01

    14-16

    PIT finished 14-16, 10th in the league by wins.

    A 46.7% win rate over 30 games, outscoring opponents by 1.3 points a night. Their net rating of 1.6 ranks 9th, and the point margin says that record was worth 16.3 wins.

  • CONTEXT

    02

    +1.7

    PIT rate 9th on the Simple Rating System.

    Margin alone would put them at 1.3 points a game; the schedule they played rated -0.1, the 7th hardest in the league over the 30 games whose opponent is known. The two together rate them at 1.7, and they disagree with the raw margin by 0.4 points.

  • EFFICIENCY

    03

    130.6 / 129.0

    PIT scored 130.6 and conceded 129.0 points per 100 possessions.

    Offence ranks 10th, defence 9th — and on defence lower is better. Across 2,357 possessions at a pace of 78.6, that is a net rating of 1.6.

  • MARIUS

    04

    65.6

    PIT scored 65.6 on the MARIUS Score.

    Half of that is true shooting (67.8%), 30% is assists per game (27.6 — 6th in the league) and 20% is ball security (7.9 turnovers a game, 9th — where lower is better).

  • MARIUS

    05

    10.1%

    PIT gave the ball away on 10.1% of their possessions.

    Basketball-Reference's definition puts the turnover rate at 9.5% of plays used — 7.9 turnovers per game. Both are shown because they answer slightly different questions: one is per possession, the other per play.

  • ANOMALY

    06

    121-88

    Their best night was a 121-88 win against MIN.

    Game 2, a net rating of 42.8 on 77.2 possessions. They made 50 of 72 shots and pulled in 38 rebounds. It came on the road.

    → MIN

  • ANOMALY

    07

    70-108

    Their worst night was a 70-108 loss against DAL.

    Game 8, a net rating of -49.3. They turned the ball over 12 times and gave up 48 points in the paint.

    → DAL

  • RECORD

    08

    3/4

    Their longest winning run was 3 games; the longest losing run 4.

    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 7 decided by twenty or more (23.3%).

  • RECORD

    09

    7-8

    At home PIT went 7-8; on the road 7-8.

    46.7% of home games won against 46.7% away. Their home net rating was -2.7 and their away net rating 5.9 — the same team, two different levels.

  • CONTEXT

    10

    -6.8

    PIT's scoring margin was -2.1 a game at home and 4.7 on the road.

    That is a home-court edge of -6.8 points a game. Across the league the host outscores the visitor by -1.4, so the venue is doing less for them than it does for the average team.

  • STYLE

    11

    23.6

    PIT's performance swung 23.6 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

    $20.0M

    PIT pays Yaroslav Campbell $20.0M — 14.1% of its payroll.

    A roster of 13 on $142.0M, comfortably under the cap. The spending is spread fairly evenly across the squad.
