In Blink, Malcolm Gladwell writes about how “the screen” revolutionized the music world. Long-held beliefs about what was necessary to be an orchestral musician crumbled when they began keeping candidates for open positions out of view.
The idea for today was to evaluate the Wizards game against the Hornets from behind a screen — to not watch or read the impression of others, but to evaluate the game’s statistical information and see what can be learned.
Unfortunately, this is the Wizards and even early-season intellectual exercises are rendered largely moot. There just isn’t much meaningful analysis to be extracted from a game in which a bad team gets stomped by a mediocre one.
