Wages of Wins: Love ROY over "average" Rose

[Jonathan Watters]

In our book we discuss voting for the All-Rookie teams, which is done by the coaches. We report that a simple model — with points scored as the sole measure of performance — explained 76% of the variation in the coaches’ voting. Adding all the other box score statistics to the model only boosted explanatory power to 77%.

Yeah, I guess you are right. Deciding the award based on defensive rebounding is much better than deciding it on scoring...

what happened to the thread of transcripts of the IM chats between casey and mnwi, that was so hawt, I was forever printing those out and hiding them under my mattress so my mom wouldn't find them. Which would be an incredible feat considering she lives in nyc and I live in mpls, but better safe than sorry.

You should join us this weekend for Bulls vs Celtics and you can write your random thoughts too...
