Interesting NBA Stats

As you know all know I quite like my NBA facts and figures. I was wondering if anyone has some interesting stats about teams and players this year in the NBA.

For instance, I remember last year that the Mavs had an awesome record when Howard scored 20+

Denver are also 17-1 when Iverson has 10 or more assists (and the loss was in Iverson's first game as a Nugget)

New Orleans were 0-12 last year against Dallas, San Antonio and Phoenix. So far they are 2-2 this year.

Anyone got any more interesting NBA stuff?

Just found another interesting one on NBA.com. Apparently LeBron James is the only player in the league whose average field-goal percentage increases each quarter (minimum 50 FGA each period). He currently shoots at 46.5 % in the first quarter, 47.4% in the second, 50% in the third, and 51.8% in the last. Bizzare!

Read something once about Dwight Howard's dunk numbers - it was about how he averages more dunks than 30 other teams (e.g., none of them combine to throw down more dunks, not all of them together).

Around 37% of his made field goals are dunks (Amare's percentage is 17% or so, from memory).

Wow 37% dunks! Probably hasn't been done before other than on NBA Jam (although I'm sure ELG would probably disagree). I wonder what Shaq's best for this would be?

Run TMC - C'mon just wait till ELG and Wilt (pre-death) love child grows up, he will average 150% of FG's made as dunks - just ask ELG.

TMC, you want some good stats have a look at 82games.com

They have some crazy categories like 'Post Timeout Performance Offence-Defence' and 'Players Pairs'

Statistically the beat duo in the NBA is Pierce and Garnett followed by Billups and Prince (surprise there). A surprisingly good due is Farmer and VladRad from the Lakers.

They also look at individuals. They have a current article titled 'Can Varejao Play Big Minutes?' which makes an interesting read about his foul troubles etc .

Wilt scored with a variety of finesse moves... finger rolls, fadeaways, hook shots... i'd be surprised if more than 20% of his points were dunks.

Wilt scored way more on the road , 7.6 Broads per road trip compared to 4.7 LAssies post home games .
