2014-15 Around the League Thread

MHSL82 · Oct 28, 2014

As promised, a new Around the League Thread has been started. Pop the champagne and give your sweetie a kiss, as this is s huge day for this board.

The old thread can be found here: http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/utah-jazz/87896-2013-14-around-league-thread.html

By-the-way, I have closed the thread and plan to leave it closed until a sufficient time to get this thread going. Then, posts legitimately referencing/pertaining the 2013-14 year and 2014 off-season will be placed there.

Interesting commentary at the end of Grizzlies-Bucks. Right before the inbounds with 1.2 left in the game, the broadcasters said that some places don't have much room on the sidelines to inbound the ball. Some places have courtside seats right up to the edge.

"Try inbounding the ball in Utah, there's no room there."

Bonus points! Anyone who can tell me what I learned about this article that is interesting to me, gets bonus points.

Hint: It's not about Kobe Bryant but it is numerically based.

Umm. During 2009-2009, I posted how Brandon Roy had an ORTG of 123 or something, and Bryant's highest ORTG in any season was 116. Based on his ORTG, I saw that Roy had a top 30 offensive season for a guard all-time.
