Basketball-Reference.com Blog: Adjusted Efficiency

Neil Paine has updated the schedule-adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency numbers and, from the Hawks fan's perspective, let's hope that Marvin Williams returns to action soon and does so in full, good health. The Hawks have fallen to 28th in the league in defensive efficiency by this measure, ahead of only Cleveland and Sacramento.

It's not all bad news (beyond the fact that these rankings cover a six- to nine-game sample) as the Hawks still rank 5th in the league in offensive efficiency by this measure and in the black efficiency-wise despite losing three games in a row at less than full strength.
