A few stats I would like to see us among the league leaders at are:
-rebounding
-FG%
-Opponents' FG%
-Assists
These categories are usually vital signs of a good team. Of course good teams rebound the ball--it just makes sense. The less second chance opportunities you give an opponent, the better it is for you; and the more second chance opportunities we can get, the more we will score. And when you are rebounding, that means you are making teams take bad shots.
When our FG% is up there, we know that we are playing efficiently. Contending teams can't afford to be missing a lot of shots. Also, if we are taking good shots, its usually because we are passing the ball around the court well, which should equate to a lot of assists.
Contending teams also defend well, and this shows up in the opponent's FG%. If teams are being forced to take bad shots, they score less. In '02, we made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, and our opponent's FG% was among the tops.
Lets monitor these categories to see if there's a correlation between our record and these specific stats.
