LOL Sure it's a Times article...but frankly most of you guys likely haven't seen this since you only read the sports section

So here it is this article espouses evidence that the best teams are 'touchy' and Garnett is the touchiest in basketball.
And there maybe some correlation between touchy and good.
ps your going to have to read past the first couple paragraphs to get there.

Bill Simmons on Tyreke Evans "The prototypical 0-guard: Someone who handles the ball all the time, looks for his own shot, gets to the rim at will and operates best if his teammates spread the floor to watch him."

-snip-
"To correct for the possibility that the better teams touch more often simply because they are winning, the researchers rated performance based not on points or victories but on a sophisticated measure of how efficiently players and teams managed the ball — their ratio of assists to giveaways, for example. And even after the high expectations surrounding the more talented teams were taken into account, the correlation persisted."

Good winning teams are efficient with the ball and score easy baskets. Player efficiency and ball management is interrelated to points and victories and I dont need formula to know that.

Yeah...nothing to bio-chemistry and cortisol or the other hormone responses either...guessing endorphins don't help your frame of mind or relieve stress in your case either. ;)
