Excerpt:

Allan Houston, Larry Johnson, Patrick Ewing and even 1993 Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward were members of the New York Knicks the last time they opened a season with back-to-back wins. The Knicks haven't won two straight to start a season since 1999-00 and will open a home-and-home series versus the Atlantic Division-rival Philadelphia 76ers this afternoon from Madison Square Garden. New York, which started the 1999-00 campaign with three straight wins, got the new campaign off to a good start with a 104-84 beating of the defending champion Miami Heat Friday night. Carmelo Anthony scored 16 of his game-high 30 points in the first quarter and made 10-of-28 shots, including 4-of-8 from 3-point territory. He also pulled down a team-best 10 rebounds. Anthony lifted the city's spirits for the time being following the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
