Advanced Stats Tutorial?


Hey CH, I have been happily reading this blog for the past year and absolutely love the depth of analysis and refusal to fall into chiches or hackneyed narratives to explain the goings-on with this thing we call our professional basketball team. With that said, I feel a bit lost at times with all of the references to advanced stats (eFG, ORTG, DRTG, etc.). Could somebody post an explanation (or link to one) of what these statistical categories mean, how they are calculated, and why they are significant?

Thanks.
