P16 Layout 1 MONDAY, MARCH 24, 2014 SPORTS Bulls charge past 76ers CHICAGO: The Philadelphia 76ers suffered their 24th straight loss as Joakim Noah finished with 20 points and Jimmy Butler scored 17 in the Chicago Bulls 91-81 victory Saturday. The Sixers moved ahead of the Vancouver Grizzlies (1995-96), Denver Nuggets (1997-98) and Charlotte Bobcats (2011-12) for the second- longest, single-season losing streak. The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped 26 during the 2010-11 season, and Philadelphia would have to pull off an upset to avoid equaling that. The next two games are at San Antonio and Houston. Drop them, and the Sixers could set the record at home against Detroit on March 29, particularly if they continue to shoot like this from the outside. They missed their first 18 3- pointers before Byron Mullens made one early in the fourth and were 1 of 20 in the game.

  • Adjusting for Scorekeeper Bias in NBA Box Scores
    Adjusting for Scorekeeper Bias in NBA Box Scores Matthew van Bommel Luke Bornn Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, Simon Fraser University Abstract Box score statistics in the National Basketball Association are used to measure and evaluate player performance. Some of these statistics are subjective in nature and since box score statistics are recorded by scorekeepers hired by the home team for each game, there exists potential for inconsistency and bias. These inconsistencies can have far reaching consequences, particularly with the rise in popularity of daily fantasy sports. Using box score data, we estimate models able to quantify both the bias and the generosity of each scorekeeper for two of the most subjective statistics: assists and blocks. We then use optical player tracking data for the 2015-2016 season to improve the assist model by including other contextual spatio-temporal variables such as time of possession, player locations, and distance traveled. From this model, we present results measuring the impact of the scorekeeper and of the other contextual variables on the probability of a pass being recorded as an assist. Results for adjusting season assist totals to remove scorekeeper influence are also presented. Keywords: Basketball, Optical tracking, Scorekeeper bias, Fantasy sports, Adjusted box score 1 Introduction Box score statistics are the baseline measures of performance in the National Basketball Association (NBA). These metrics, either in their raw form or as components of advanced metrics such as player efficiency rating (PER) (Hollinger, 2004) or win shares (WS) (Basketball Reference, 2015), are used by both fans and team officials to help measure and understand player performance.
