0.38 ppg works out to 31 points per 82 game season.
0.50 ppg works out to 41 points per 82 game season.
THANK YOU
Not sure why he didn't just stick to his
ppg over their careers though.
Less confusing no?
And he did it without explanation.
And then he switched to
ppg per 82 games... when he should have said "
points per 82 games".
(he was attempting to clarify but failed miserably)
(I just now figured out that "
points per 82 games"... is what he must have meant)
But none of this explains the original mix up.
Here's where it started...
I laughed at him for saying "Backlund
blew away Sutter in
ppg over his career".
He responded with "Lol you can’t see
50 points a season is better than
33".
That made ZERO sense... considering he was talking about
ppg over their careers
(did
anyone understand what he meant by the numbers
50 and
33 at that point in time??)
So I assumed he was referring to Backlund/Sutter's career ppg numbers of .50 and .38
... and that he got the last number wrong (hence my correction).
NEAR THE END Blob threw in something about "over a recent three year sample size".
But that was too little too late... the damage to the conversation was already done.
He should have said "over a recent three year sample size"
from the start... if that's what he meant.
He didn't... but he did say
ppg over their careers repeatedly during the convo.
A
sober Blob is capable of communicating better than this...
