What metric? I'm biased, but I think getting the margin right is the main goal.

I think we should do it as point margin as a percentage of total points scored...this allows the margin to shrink in the event that a lot of fouling is used to slow the games tempo. For instance...I predicted a 25 point spread at 80 - 55...that would be a 21 point spread at 67 - 46 if we reduced the margin to reflect total scoring. Interestingly, we were at 21 points late in the game when Machine Gun Maggie went off for some quick points and we didn't score. And that's the problem with big margins...you can sit on them and run the clock out.
