Examples:
The query:
50 < Kobe Bryant : points
and
site = away
The explain:

If no player is given then results for the team are checked. E.g.
The query:
120 < Bulls : points
and
site = home
returns games in which the Bulls scored more than 120 points at home
points < 60
returns games when the team scored fewer than 60 points
Multiple conditions can be imposed using a comma delimited format.
points < 90,100,110

You can comma-group on both sides of the inequality as per:
70,80,90,100 < points < 90,100,110
