Sample size is something always worth adjusting for. I’m not speaking of the Thanksgiving pies that you sampled, or the Christmas snacks you may be sampling soon. The adjustment for them tends to be miles logged running with a guilty conscience and the knowledge that putting two cookies together isn’t really a sandwich. No, I’m in reference to sample size in sports. After only seven games of the basketball season, the statistical depth is such that a couple of good trips down the floor can still skew the numbers pretty drastically.
This is generally more of an issue with baseball, where announcers toss out statistics about runners in scoring position and ignore the fact a hitter has only 20 at bats in that situation.
