Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 226098, member: 767"] Really? I have to admit I am kind of surprised about that. Would it to be too much to ask to see maybe the correlation between steals and/or blocks and offensive efficiency? (Using just steals would filter out the dead ball TO that don't result in a fastbreak). One thing i would like to do is figure out, is assuming I'm right (and if I',m not, forget this) to tie that kind of stuff into offensive efficiency. Like, say you have 2 teams with identical defensive efficiency rating; but one team forces steals say 15% of the time and the other half that. Theoretically, you'd rather have the first defense, because that one should feed your fastbreak offense more. (The idea would of course be to figure out where you draw the line; is 3% more steals worth 3% worse defensively? Etc) [/QUOTE]
