I was sitting in my basement watching Moneyball on FX last Saturday.
Though I've probably seen the film at least five times, it's one of those movies I simply can't turn off when it comes on TV. Sports, analytics, and a strong cast of actors led by Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. I love it every single time.
So, tonight at Target Center, I sat there and watched two of the league's five worst teams go head-to-head and started thinking about Moneyball. Nothing from an analytics standpoint, but rather a certain scene at the end of the film that came to mind.
