Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4118356, member: 9844"] I think you nailed it here. I will just add that once you adjust for number of possessions the seemingly even bigger difference in time of possession can be related to style of play. A team that patiently waits to work it into their bigs like SC will use more time per possession before they shoot. Time per possession isn't necessarily good or bad. If patience gets you a higher percentage shot it is a good thing, but if you are jacking up a hail mary as the shot clock is expiring because nothing developed earlier, it is a bad thing. Number of possessions on the other hand is clearly the more relevant stat. [/QUOTE]
