and the Winner of the Shaq Jersey is!

Remember 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
between the 1st 15 games and the last 15 ?
I'm guessing our defense in particular looks a lot more respectable during the latter.

Miami Heat?
I didn't ask to be traded.

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.

Mmmmm ... Guinness

whoa...didn't win one stat category, but I'll take it.

Now that would be a nice prize!!!!

Voting
You didn't carry any states, but you took the popular vote.  Good thing we don't use the electoral college!

2nd place prize!
Given how close the final score was, I think a 2nd place prize is in order. Maybe Suns hat or T-shirt for Hawk?

But you HAVE to promise to wear it to a game!
