This is actually better then a team's offensive ability. It shows a teams point contribution. If a team is consistently penalized, they will have a lower OPR then a team that scores the same points per match but does so without penalties. You would obviously want the latter on your alliance.

Another interesting thing is that a team that constantly gets in the way of it's alliance parters would have a lower OPR then one that scores the same number of points but allows it's alliance partners to live to their full potential.
