aren't you interested to see that the winning team won 100% of the games it won?

Not a single case of the team with fewer points winning in a walkover? For shame.

There is a strong correlation between having more points than the other team and winning, but the chart alone is not enough to establish a causality link.

It's supposed to be a graph of the distribution of final scores for games, but it's lacking in that it needs some sort of heatmap or z axis to show commonality of particular score pairings where it turns into an amorphous blob.

Yeah, that or very small semi-transparent dots jittered within their boxes. Red and the blue are unnecessary/distracting, too. It's not awful, though, it's just not very good. It shows the outliers at least.

I think the people objecting to it may be expecting it to do something other than what it claims to do, which is represent every final SCORE (not game) achieved in the NBA. See also, as mentioned above, Scorigami Occultatio has a new favorite as of 18:56 on Nov 4, 2017 |

I think the problem with a bad graph thread is you can post an okay graph and a bunch of people will race to come up with reasons why it's actually a bad graph because it must be bad if it's in the bad graph thread

What the gently caress happened in that one 1983 game? How do two teams score more than 350 points combined?

The second one is just hiding the unfeasible area. In that graph the winning team having 25 points implies maximum margin of victory of 25, so there's a lot of impossible white space on that graph too. Still more useful overall though.

Highest scoring ever? Nope! Watch this, even if you aren't into sportsball at all https://youtu.be/T4afzQyGo5Q E: and if you're not used to the style, just give it a couple minutes to get past the opening clips, they like to be a bit artsy Sentient Data has a new favorite as of 20:26 on Nov 6, 2017 |

Stealing this from a friend's facebook wall, he was grading papers when he found this innovative graph. It shows the ratio of root/plant weight (in g  ) depending on wether the plant underwent a low density treatment (BD) or high density treatment (HD).The bars on the left show the mean. The bars on the right show the standard deviation.

Or at least a bar graph with the standard deviation presented on the corresponding bars, so as to represent the variation of the sample.

It's not great, but control charts often include a chart of the deviations because even though it's encoded in stuff like control limits or error bars, sometimes seeing a deviation in graphical form next to process values can give some extra oomph to your ahas. Makes more sense for control charting than a couple individual statistics. But that kids got a future in management.
