PrintRemember our little contest to guess the statistical impact of Shaq?
Here's the numbers at the time of the trade and for the entire season (remember that there were 52 games played pre-trade and 30 after).
The "final stat" is for the entire season:
| Pre-trade Stat: | Final Stat: | Differential: | Category Winner: | Comment: | |
| PPG | 109.4 | 110.1 | +.7 | AZSEAfan | Offense got even better.. |
| OPG | 103.3 | 105 | +1.7 | calphxfan | Defense got even worse.. |
| FG% | 49.2% | 50.1% | +.9% | JSun | 50.1 FG%! Wow! |
| OFG% | 45% | 45.7% | +.7% | Mazzou and Brian13 | 45.7 Opp FG% is 13th in the league |
| TREB Diff | -6 | -2.4 | +3.6 | Turumbar | This is a HUGE improvement |
| Win% | 70.8% | 66.1% | -3.7% | calphxfan | At this point its all about the next 40 games... |
And the Winner with a mere .15 variance in all his guesses versus the actual results is... KidZero!
Runner up with a .2 variance is Hawk42 and in third place is your's truly at .3. That's some pretty darn good estimating if I do say so myself!
Oh, and playing the role of Miami Heat was JSun at 4.9
Thanks everyone for playing and congrats to KidZero on winning the Shaq Jersey!

what is the difference in stats
I'm guessing our defense in particular looks a lot more respectable during the latter.

oh man
Miami Heat?
I was just being optimistic and now I'm on the Heat?
4.9 isn't bad -- at the first check-in, I was in double digits.
thanks
now, didn't i also have a tie breaker that said that the Suns will win the Championship?
Now that would be a nice prize!!!!
Congrats!
