Excerpt:

The Boston Celtics will try to get back into the win column and exact revenge of an earlier loss to the Milwaukee Bucks when the two teams collide Saturday at the Bradley Center. The Bucks posted a 99-88 triumph at Boston on Nov. 2, ending a six-game losing streak in the series. However, Boston still has won 14 of the past 18 meetings between the Eastern Conference inhabitants and is unbeaten in three consecutive trips to Brew City. Boston had a modest two-game winning streak stopped in Friday's 106-100 decision to the Atlantic Division-rival Philadelphia 76ers. Paul Pierce scored a team-high 24 points to go with five assists and Kevin Garnett contributed 19 points and 10 rebounds. "Well, they beat us in transition. I think it's pretty simple," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.

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.
