STAT CHECK – Best offensive season’s ever via Locke Offensive Rating
We had a fun discussion today via twitter @lockedonsports using my Locke Offensive Rating and trying to find the best offensive season ever. The Locke Offensive Rating (LOR) looks at the efficiency by which a player uses a possessions and then rewards or punishes a player on their ability to use numerous efficient or inefficient possessions.
Here are the best seasons we discovered. If you have any suggestions let me know. This is a work in progress

BREAKDOWN – Were Jazz amazingly consistent this season?
I will do more research on this but I broke down the Jazz opponents into three categories, title contenders (5 in the west 3 in the east), playoff contenders (playoff teams plus Dallas) and lottery teams.
This season the Jazz did the following
Against Title Contenders – 6-19
Against Playoff Contenders – 10-13
Against Lottery teams – 27-7
This is probably exactly what they should have been. If they could have flipped the 10-13 to 13-10 they would have been in the playoffs. The below .500 records against similar teams is the difference between making the playoffs and missing.
What I am really interested in is what our offensive rating was against these three level of opponents and I will work on that in the near future.
