TrueHoop reader Jonathan e-mails: Honestly, it’s getting really obnoxious with you referring to to the people who study analyze basketball statistics as “geeks” or “dorks.” Whether intentional or not, you bring a stigma to the people who study it and just make it sound like these people are above us and very snooty.
