Looking at the team splits from December (14 games), January (16 games), and February (6 games):
http://www.basketball-reference.com/tea ... 13/splits/FG/FGA and FG% followed by 3P/3PA and 3P%
===========================================
December: 33.6/82.4 --
40.8% -- 6.0/18.6 -- 32.2%
January: 36.9/81.8 -- 45.1% -- 6.9/17.2 -- 40.1%
February: 37.8/81.3 --
46.5% -- 6.7/17.0 -- 39.4%
--Three straight months the team has shot better from 2PT.
--The TEAM hits nearly 40% of threes--an excellent number.
The Wizards are shooting the ball significantly better than two months ago. The Wizards are shooting .465 this month.
There are only 6 NBA teams shooting better overall. (MIA, SA, OKC, DEN, LAC, HOU)
http://www.basketball-reference.com/lea ... _2013.htmlThe offensive FG% is better than 75% of the league right now this month and better than 50% the last two months.
Points scored / Points allowed / Differential
=======================================
December: 88.1 / 95.4 /
-7.3January: 95.6 / 95.3/ 0.3
February: 92.8 / 88.5 /
4.3If the Wizards were to maintain a +4.3 point differential, that would rank 6th behind OKC, SA, MIA, LAC, and NYK.
I think this team is playing great and people are selling them a little short … until they hit their next slump. When that happens I will probably tart generating John Wall trade ideas.
Bye bye Beal.
