Playoffs are for Fun, Not for Science

Over the years, the writers of 3 Shades of Blue have developed an unique relationship with the renowned author, economist and college professor Dave Berri. His books, Wages of Wins and Stumbling on Wins, helped take statistics from the classroom to the front offices of the NBA.
