The NBA thread.

Anyone know what "BA" stands for in the Boxscore?

I know what all the others mean but I've never seen the "BA" column until this season.

From wiki answers googled: "A BA in basketball is a blocked attempt. In other words, it is a shot that the player attempts that is subsequently blocked." I'm surprised that it actually meant that. I thought of it but I didn't think they would actually keep that statistic.

Now that I can actually not double post:
Pretty interesting game with Magic @ Lakers. I winced at how ugly some of Kobe's shots ended up in the 4th quarter, but I guess even he can't be clutch all the time. Kudos to Nelson for taking that clutch role and winning the game.

Man, the Mavericks keep digging themselves in deep deficits lately. It's pretty impressive how they can keep rallying in the 2nd half to make most of the games close, but they're losing and it's not a healthy method even when they win.
