It's been such a fun season. Sabonis and Fox made the all star game and deserved it. We are 13 games above 0.500, are in the second seed in the west, and have a beam. Plus, they don't have unlikable guys and everything just seems so positive around the team. Light the beam!

I wonder how much of these stats genuinely reflects their matches performance though.

Assuming that as long that a team's rating is consistently moving upward/rightward over time, that would also mean that they're "winning" more matches / having a strong, explosive performance over time?

(vs. just staying in one spot, which means stagnant performance)

We got it to almost 9am in the Netherlands. Indeed, it is hell. People say they want daylight after work, but the thing is, having lived on the eastern side of a timezone in the tropics, evening light is of no importance. It's the late sunrise that keeps people cling in bed for long, that creates melatonin when having to start the workday, that actually makes people depressed. Part of the dread is how up to the middle of February, the sun only rises after 8 because of the same reason why midday is rather late too in February. Once March has arrived you just see how people look more rested, even on days with horrible weather like last Friday.
