First thing you do is you perform a search of Michael Jordan in 1996.
After the results come up, on the bottom right of the display box you will see buttons marked TMM (teammates) and OPP (opponents). You want TMM, but in order for this button to work you first need to enter a number in the box at the right for a limit of games (which is used to speed up searches, which isn't needed for TMM over 1 season). Just type in 1 and press TMM.
When the team mate games come up, you need to first sort a statistic by left clicking on its header (click once so it is descending order). So here you left click assists because you want to see the relationship between Pippens assists and Jordan's productivity. You will get a warning about how the algorithms depend on the sorting method and how the numbers on the SPLITS tab will cease to be updated as a result. Just okay through that.
In the pyramid of 3 boxes to the left of the min/max range boxes, which read -1 (top), 0 (bottom left) and 0 (bottom right) type in 1 in the bottom left box. This will split the selected sorted statistic (assists) into groups of 1, so say a player had a top of 15 assists it will create custom splits of: 15, 13 (if there is no 14 it is skipped), 12, 10, 9, etc. If you type in 2 instead, it will cluster 14-15, 12-13, 10-12, etc.
Now you need to perform a filter search of Scottie Pippen. In order to do this, you need to find his entry in the SPLITS tab and right click it.
Once you have done this, you need to click on the box at the top right of the screen marked either RA or R/S (it alternates due to the fact that I previously didn't have a split operation on TMM/OPP searches but now I do I need to fix that back to always read R/S).
Once you have pressed that button, you should see the results in the CUSTOM tab.
Because the results are going to be a bit unclear, you can try the + method (click the slim button to the left of the top box on the triangle). The plus method adds up all results above, so rather than 15, 13, 12, 10, 9, etc. it becomes 15, 13-15, 12-15, 10-15, 9-15 etc. The bottom most split is the season average of the player across all games. This will show greater trends.
Another thing you can do is group the results in a cluster of 3 splits (above average, average and below average splits). This is based on difference from the medium average. For example, if the middle assist game for Pippen in 1996 was 7, then entering a value of -2 in the bottom left of the pyramid of boxes will generate a difference from the medium range of 2, making the middle average range 5-9, the above average 10 or more and the below average 4 and under (previously you couldn't do these kinds of splits with a -1 value; it was an oversight from a variable I had used when I had these splits set to the right box and has now been fixed).
Shows that when Scottie Pippen was getting less than 5 assists that season (for an average of 3.0), Jordan was scoring 29.0 PPG at an efficiency of 1.143 (+.041 over rest of team).
When he was getting 5-7 assists (for an average of 5.6) Jordan's efficiency declined to 1.102 although remained stable relative the rest of the team at +0.048. Despite a decrease in efficiency, his scoring rose to 30.5 PPG suggesting he was a benefactor of the assists.
When Pippen was getting over 7 assists (for an average of 9.3) Jordan's efficiency increased 1.211 and +1.24 over the rest of the team! His scoring went up to 31.0 PPG.
It also shows the teams were winning by bigger margins when Pippen was above average (+15.5) and below average (+14.5) in assists than when he was average (+8.4). So why is this? Notice both players were playing around 80% of the game compared with 76% in the other brackets. Players play longer minutes in closer games, creating a negative correlation. This may also be clouding the effect on scoring efficiency as everyone on the team is playing worse in those games. An ideal would be to sort it by assists per minute instead and then split those. While it can sort by assists per minute instead, I don't know how the splits respond to those sorts. My guess is not very kindly. I'll have to look into that.
At some point, I'll also look into flipping the splits so that it is Jordan stats that are sorted.
EDIT: Fixed the display of per minute stats and splits regarding per minute stats (which would trigger a crash previously). There are still issues with the custom splits of per minute stats (such as the perculiar fact that it won't sort another column after sorting the first column after applying a split and the labeling has issues). But if the output is correct, per minute doesn't do much to change this pattern after all. I also fixed a critical crash that was occurring in yesterdays release.
EDIT2: No, the splits weren't working properly over per minute stats. That should be fixed now. I've also added in the ability (triggered by left click of the text next to each range) to switch the ranges from standard statistics, to the custom and per minute statistics. I have also changed the on and off statistics to show per x minutes set in the settings.ini (36 by default) which makes it easier to understand.
