What is PIE, PITP, FPB, and PFD?

i saw these stats on nba.com, and im just trying to figure it out wat it all means, and how its calculated.

PIE = Player impact estimate
PITP = Points in the paint
FPB = ??
PFD = Personal fouls drawn

PITB and PFD are straight forward. If you click the "play icon" next to abbreviation on the link above it gives you a description of the stat. This is what it says about PIE

PIE measures a player's overall statistical contribution against the total statistics in games they play in. PIE yields results which are comparable to other advanced statistics (e.g. PER) using a simple formula.(PTS + FGM + FTM - FGA - FTA + DREB + (.5 * OREB) + AST + STL + (.5 * BLK) - PF - TO) / (GmPTS + GmFGM + GmFTM - GmFGA - GmFTA + GmDREB + (.5 * GmOREB) + GmAST + GmSTL + (.5 * GmBLK) - GmPF - GmTO)

I couldn't find the FPB stat.

I couldn't find the FPB stat.

  My guess on FPB is a dyslexic FBP (fast break points).

Ahh, good thinking.

I didn't realize NBA.com had such interesting stats on their websites. They have really upgraded their stat pages over the last few years. Some very interesting info on there now.

They've got some interesting numbers on NBA.COM's new stats page, but I find it extremely difficult and tedious to navigate.  Maybe some day I'll put in the time to start to learn how to use it, but, for now, it just irritates me.

Same. I liked the old system.
