Monthly splits are inherently arbitrary. The players and the sport don’t suddenly change because the calendar turns from one month to the next, and that makes drawing conclusions based on them risky.
One positive trait of monthly splits, however, is they can help us spot a turning point for a player or team. There may not be much of an explanation for that turning point, but that doesn’t make it nonexistent. Two-thirds of June is in our collective rear-view mirror, which makes it perfectly appropriate to look back at what has transpired this month. Down in Arizona, a certain hyped player who had struggled for the first two months of the season has passed through a turning point.
