05 / Notes

WHAT THE LOG SAYS

  • RECORD

    01

    10-20

    VAN finished 10-20, 14th in the league by wins.

    A 33.3% win rate over 30 games, outscoring opponents by -7.6 points a night. Their net rating of -9.8 ranks 13th, and the point margin says that record was worth 7.8 wins.

  • CONTEXT

    02

    -6.7

    VAN rate 13th on the Simple Rating System.

    Margin alone would put them at -7.6 points a game; the schedule they played rated 0.4, the 5th hardest in the league over the 29 games whose opponent is known. The two together rate them at -6.7, and they disagree with the raw margin by 0.9 points.

  • EFFICIENCY

    03

    126.9 / 136.7

    VAN scored 126.9 and conceded 136.7 points per 100 possessions.

    Offence ranks 12th, defence 11th — and on defence lower is better. Across 2,316 possessions at a pace of 77.2, that is a net rating of -9.8.

  • MARIUS

    04

    52.0

    VAN scored 52.0 on the MARIUS Score.

    Half of that is true shooting (64.2%), 30% is assists per game (24.0 — 15th in the league) and 20% is ball security (9.3 turnovers a game, 13th — where lower is better).

  • MARIUS

    05

    12.1%

    VAN gave the ball away on 12.1% of their possessions.

    Basketball-Reference's definition puts the turnover rate at 10.9% of plays used — 9.3 turnovers per game. Both are shown because they answer slightly different questions: one is per possession, the other per play.

  • ANOMALY

    06

    107-78

    Their best night was a 107-78 win against DCS.

    Game 19, a net rating of 38.3 on 75.8 possessions. They made 50 of 76 shots and pulled in 42 rebounds. It came at home.

  • ANOMALY

    07

    74-117

    Their worst night was a 74-117 loss against LAR.

    Game 17, a net rating of -56.0. They turned the ball over 9 times and gave up 46 points in the paint.

  • RECORD

    08

    3/8

    Their longest winning run was 3 games; the longest losing run 8.

    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 5 games decided by five points or fewer (16.7%) and 11 decided by twenty or more (36.7%).

  • RECORD

    09

    7-11

    At home VAN went 7-11; on the road 3-9.

    38.9% of home games won against 25.0% away. Their home net rating was -9.8 and their away net rating -10.0 — the same team, two different levels.

  • CONTEXT

    10

    +0.5

    VAN's scoring margin was -7.4 a game at home and -7.9 on the road.

    That is a home-court edge of 0.5 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

    25.7

    VAN's performance swung 25.7 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

    $15.0M

    VAN pays Anthony Campbell $15.0M — 13.3% of its payroll.

    A roster of 10 on $112.4M, comfortably under the cap. The spending is spread fairly evenly across the squad.
