有a ton going on this week. Let's knock down some topics one by one.
康卡斯特
康卡斯特体育西北并不为是的terday's interview。要聆听他们的一面，请按照此链接指向这Oregon Politico'svideo of testimony来自康卡斯特的David Manougian。这part they would like you to focus on...
“ DirecTV是美国第二大电视分销商，还拥有FSN Northwest，已决定不携带Comcast SportsNet。我们一再提供DirectV发行建议，以携带Comcast Sportsnet，以与其他十一分销商接受的那些相当DirectV一直不愿进行有意义的谈判来携带Comcast SportsNet，我们不能强迫他们购买网络。我们只能推测他们对Comcast Sportsnet和我们的西装外套，鸭子和其他编程都不感兴趣。“
Same old, same old. Comcast continues to steadfastly refuse to provide information regarding the financial specifics of their negotiations with DirecTV.John Canzano很好地争论他们应该重新考虑这项政策。
Offers to a legislator and to Comcast to provide their thoughts on Wednesday's hearing here on Blazersedge have been made. Stay tuned. <-- Horrible pun.
Martell Webster
有a great piece在体育画报中Kelli Andersonabout the insane basketball talent pipeline that has developed in the Seattle-area over the last decade or so. The article focuses on some of the most recent Seattle-area products and their relationships with the previous generation of guys like Jamal Crawford. The story reminded me of该帖子从2008年10月开始当布兰登·罗伊（Brandon Roy）出乎意料地进入刘易斯（Lewis）和克拉克学院（Clark College）体育馆时，说出一支充满了阿卜杜勒·加迪（Abdul Gaddy）和托尼·沃罗滕（Tony Wroten）的前景的华盛顿AAU团队。
Anyway, both Roy and Martell Webster are mentioned in the SI piece. There's a great vignette about Webster and his AAU coach Jim Marsh, who was actually a former Portland Trail Blazer.
马什（Marsh）在60年代为南加州大学（USC）效力，然后短暂地为新生的波特兰开拓者队（Portland Trail Blazers）曾在犹他州担任助理教练七年，然后在1981年被聘为Sonics电视评论员。一项名为华盛顿州导师的公司计划，他志愿者是箍之友的教练。他从中得到了什么？他说：“我与球员的关系使我震惊。”
我n 2004, when he had what was probably his best team-it included future NBA draft picks Hawes, Martell Webster and Jon Brockman as well as future McDonald's All-American Micah Downs and Stanford-bound Mitch Johnson, as well as Isaiah Thomas-Marsh learned he had Parkinson's disease. Once he told the team, he says, "Martell wouldn't let me pick up a bag again."
As Marsh tells this story, his eyes fill. "Maybe it's the medication I take," he says, "but sometimes I get a bit snivelly."
肯尼·托马斯（Kenny Thomas）
我wrote on Friday开拓者的目标是在交易期间或在交易截止日期后不久摇晃的人，他们的第15位和今天早上Jason Quick有确认其中一个名字是肯尼·托马斯（Kenny Thomas），他被萨克拉曼多国王队（Sacramento Kings）放松，为在马丁 - 陆地迷你博克斯特（Mini-Blockbuster）中的即将到来的球员腾出空间。
今天早上被要求描述托马斯国王的任期一个词，SACTOWN皇室汤姆·齐勒（Tom Ziller）选择“无限”。的确，托马斯拥有一份难以移动的合同，使他在国王队的过去5年中度过了5年，他几乎看不到任何比赛时间（自2007-2008赛季以来玩了57场比赛）。这是齐勒（Ziller）关于托马斯（Thomas）的侦察报告...
他实际上是一个坚实的后卫。快的。快速的手。相当长。他可以保护四人和小五击。良好的防守篮板。他的防御性举动：在邮政对手的肩blade骨之间贴上前臂。因此，他不会对迪克·巴维塔（Dick Bavetta）和湖人队（The Lakers）有太大帮助，因为他会在45秒内犯规。
But on offense, he's Hasheem Thabeet level bad.
有史以来最伟大的Google运动图表
这我nvisible Ninja整周都在努力工作，生产他的Google Motion Mona Lisa。一探究竟。电子表格跟踪大牌玩家可以追溯到2004年，并允许您比较30多个因素的玩家，包括诸如射击百分比之类的基础知识，以及诸如赢得股票，进攻性评级等的高级统计信息。您可以在四个不同的措施中比较玩家一次通过调整X和Y轴以及气泡的尺寸和颜色。这绝对是疯狂的。吹整个星期五下午那件事。
摇动，基尼和评分效率等级
我花了很多时间回顾本周的摇晃。关于凯文·佩尔顿（Kevin Pelton），我对Gini Coefficient，KP2在几年前在他的一个超级演讲论坛上提出了这一点，以衡量一致性。Gini系数用于衡量各个社会的家庭收入不平等。像Shake一样，Gini沿0到1比例跑，一个完全不一致，0完全一致。您可能想阅读它。非常有趣的东西。
我跑了摇晃和基尼，获得了联盟的前25名得分手和布兰登·罗伊（Brandon Roy）（通过周一晚上的比赛）。
单击此处以获取比较两者的全尺寸图表。As you can see, they produce very similar relative results for the top-end scorers. With that data, I made the following two charts.
第一的，a comparison of scoring and consistencyfor the top 25 scorers. Points per game is on the X axis; Shake is on the Y axis. A nice visualization to see how the alpha dogs of the league compare. Helpful to notice an outlier like Monta Ellis and to appreciate guys like Chris Bosh and Dirk Nowitzki, who might get overlooked in the grand scheme of things.
第二，评分效率和一致性的比较。Points Per Possession, my favorite measure of offensive efficiency, is on the X axis; Shake is on the Y axis. I really like this one because it starts to pull out who the real scoring robots are in the NBA. The guys who deliver points play after play and do it similarly game after game. A ton of interesting things to note in this chart including the nearly identical location of Chris Bosh and LeBron James, the surprising locations of David Lee and Amar'e Stoudemire and Brandon Roy's location within the league's elite. His Shake has obviously taken a hit due to playing through the hamstring injury. We should expect it to improve as the rest of the season plays out.
这两个散点图让我思考：是什么使联盟最好的得分手？在与KP2进行了简短的头脑风暴之后，我们确定了效率，用法和一致性（以重要性的降序）。要成为联盟最好的得分手，您必须能够有效地做到这一点（每次获得球时提供最大的积分数），您必须能够做很多事情（您必须是首选选项，并且您必须取得足够的成功才能继续成为首选），并且您必须自动（无论防守方案或对决如何，都要提高相似的积分）。
我们决定使用这三个因素来创建评分效率的综合度量：PPP来判断效率，Hollinger's Usageand Shake to judge consistency. I turned the heavy math lifting over to KP2 at this point. After some thought, he decided efficiency deserved to be weighted (45%), usage (40%) and consistency (15%). Because he likes to stick his finger in my eye, KP2 switched to Gini instead of Shake for consistency. He then did some nifty math tricks so that the composite scores would fit on a traditional 1 to 100 scale. Here's how the每场比赛得分手最高in the league shake out using this new rating.
注意：在我的原始摇摆帖子中，令人尴尬的印刷错误使科比·布莱恩特（Kobe Bryant）当时的摇动要高得多。That has been corrected。
我njury Numbers
John Hollinger笔记开拓者队在整个联盟中排名前6名（162）的比赛错过了最多的比赛。下一个最接近的球队是108的金州，目前联盟中位数为31。这些只是疯狂的数字。他还指出，俄克拉荷马城只有2个！
到目前为止，OKC错过比赛的唯一顶级球员是中锋Nenad Krstic，他错过了两场比赛。在如此幸运的健康状况的帮助下，俄克拉荷马城已经成为西方最受欢迎的惊喜之一，似乎在赢得比任何人预期的十二场比赛的步伐。
Might be a good idea to sell OKC stock when everyone predicts a deep playoff run next fall.
Camby Trade Reaction
我missed linking乍得·福特我nsider take on the Marcus Camby trade earlierthis week. he ranked the Blazers 4th for teams that are "going for it" this year (behind Cleveland, Dallas and Houston) and wrote...
正旋：鉴于格雷格·奥登（Greg Oden）和乔尔·普尔齐比拉（Joel Przybilla）的赛季末受伤，球队迫切希望获得帮助。马库斯·坎比（Marcus Camby）非常适合老将射击，篮板的存在，他有一份到期的合同。假设奥登（Oden）和普兹比拉（Przybilla）明年秋天很健康，开拓者可以走开，而无需继续付钱，与此同时，与之相关的坎比（Camby）应将西装外套作为第四或第五种子中的季后赛确保。
Negative spin:开拓者必须放弃两个关键资产。布雷克（Blake）是球队的后备控球后卫，杰里德·贝勒斯（Jerryd Bayless）是否可以懈怠还有待观察。特拉维斯·奥特尔（Travis Outlaw）本赛季受伤，但他有很多上行空间，这是一项艰难的资产。
我'm not as optimistic about Camby moving the Blazers up the Western Conference chart as Ford but his overall analysis is solid. In terms of deadline winners, I would go Houston and Cleveland then a big gap then Dallas and Portland and then everyone else. A lot more trade deadline talk, including some excellent analysis from KP2, can be heard onthis week's Wingcast。
