During last year’s playoffs I took a statistical look at Charles Barkley’s and most experts’ accusations that the Oklahoma City Thunder only shot “90-foot jumpers”. I also dived into OKC’s chances at winning the title. Let’s just say Sir Charles did a little exaggerating. In short, what my research showed was that the old adage “Defense The post The #1 Stat In Determining the 2012-13 NBA Champion appeared first on No Coast Bias.

Eric Maynor Swishes 55-Foot Halfcourt Buzzer Beater
