We discuss the Four Factors metrics for the 2001 NBA season and some notable discrepancies from Elo. Take care of the basketball!

Talking about PLAYOFFS?! We're definitely doing it. Plus some unusual regular season results and a surprise overachieving team. Hint: the team is in California, but it's not the California team you're thinking.

We break down the actual and Elo simulated playoff seedings for the 2001 NBA season. Simulation was surprisingly accurate. We also note extremely strong correlation in the Atlantic Division between simulated and actual performance.

We acknowledge the basketball and analytics contributions of Dikembe Mutombo and regrettably announce his passing. RIP, Dikembe.

Thank you to all who listened to this podcast. Join me for this episode as we chronicle NBA Retrospective's genesis, its peaks, and ultimately, its conclusion.

We discuss Four Factors performances by the Celtics, Lakers, Suns, and Heat and discuss the question of when to fire first year head coaches given success of Heat's Eric Spoelstra.

We discuss the Four Factors model for the 2007-08 season, the surprising number of significant predictors, and the future of NBA Retrospective.

We discuss the 2007-08 playoffs and assess how teams fared compared with their Elo simulation. We also provide deeper statistical analysis for the Celtics, Lakers, Suns, and Heat. Finally, we note some interesting parallels between the 2007-08 season and the 2023-24 season.

We simulate the 2007-08 season using Elo and report on the strength of the simulation and anomalous teams. We also discuss a blockbuster trade and striking conference disparity.

We compare the 2018 Rockets and Warriors using the Four Factors model and reveal how the Warriors got it done.
