Apology and comments

[Alex Goldblatt]

Guys, box score and the actual game is not the same. We've had <mostly> the
easy ones so far, and have quite a few problems to fix whether you like it
or not.

If Paul will not be able to adjust - we will lose games where every single
mistake counts. As to his scoring - could not care less. Also, this
breakdown of his vs opponent scoring does not make sense at all, this works
only if NBA would ban switching and screening...
