Wake Me Up When September Ends

I'm bein completely honest.... Wake me up when September ends. I'd put a YouTube clip of that song by Green Day, but it's lyrics really stray from my point. All I know is one thing: when ESPN's main NBA news is about Delonte West missing a practice and how it could relate to his depression, well, there just isn't much to talk about. All the newsworthy Free Agents are signed and I believe every team is in training camp. We can talk about possibilities for each team. Or we could just wait till the games begun.

Wake me up on October 30th so I have a day to regroup.

Statistics:

Statistics Explained:

PER : Stat that takes into account positive accomplishments, such as field goals, free throws, 3-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals, and negative ones, such as missed shots, turnovers and personal fouls. The formula adds positive stats and subtracts negative ones through a statistical point value system. The rating for each player is then adjusted to a per-minute basis so that, for example, substitutes can be compared with starters in playing time debates. It is also adjusted for the team's pace. In the end, one number sums up the players' statistical accomplishments for that season. PER strives to measure a player's per-minute performance, while adjusting for pace. A league-average PER is always 15.00, which permits comparisons of player performance across seasons.

Per36: A stat that simply adjusts a players production to 36 minutes per game. It's a great way to compare players in a much more objective fashion. Simply put: it's going to show a players production as a starter getting starter minutes(36). When most analysts compare two players they will adjust each player to Per36 to get a more precise look. Comparing two starters per game stats while one plays 40mpg and the other plays 30mpg is not a very precise look into their actual production on the court; thus Per36 comes into play.
