Are you guys looking to begin doing shot profile data? I know nba.com already exposes that data, and you link yo it, but I don’t know if they provide an API to integrate it to your site. It’d be nice to see how people shoot on pull-ups vs. catches, or with certain defender spacing when looking at the other stats you provide. It’s just the tiniest bit frustrating to have to go cross reference with their site, and I find navigation of their site much less user-friendly than yours.
It’s already a great game
Fuck I’ve missed this sport
Let’s get it Nuggets!!
We as NBA fans should lay siege to Nike’s home office until they bring back the Kobe era gold, these banana ass jerseys suck
Start the damn game already I’m fucking gassed up to watch Jokic passes again
The NBA is back 😭
Mind altering cope. The literal only things a basketball player can do on a court that Booker was better than Tatum at last season was passing and dribbling, and only marginally better in those. Outside of that, Tatum completely blows him away. Purely in scoring, Tatum scored 2.3 ppg more on .6% better TS without playing next to one of the greatest pure point guards ever setting his table. Tatum pulled down double his rebounds a game. It only gets worse if you look to advanced or defensive stats. Tatum nearly doubled him up in all 3 of WS, WS/48, and VORP. DBPM puts Booker at -.6 and Tatum at .7 and DWS puts Booker at 1.9 to Tatum’s 4.3. There isn’t a single compelling argument for Booker over Tatum, there’s barely even an argument at all. You can’t point to stats, advanced stats, or team success.
Tatum points and fg% in the ECSF
G1: 39 on 56%
G2: 7 on 14%
G3: 27 on 50%
G4: 24 on 45%
G5: 36 on 40%
G6: 19 on 24%
67: 51 on 60%
Averages: 29ppg on 45%. Games that were bad, game 2, game 6, objectively not the bulk of the series.
Tatum points and fg% in the ECF:
G1: 30 on 53%
G2: 34 on 50%
G3: 14 on 33%
G4: 33 on 64%
G5: 21 on 50%
G6: 31 on 38%
G7: 14 on 38% (injured in the first play of the game)
Averages: 25 on 47%, and again, your memory of which games were bad is wrong.
You wanna really see what “team carried you through garbage games, but your reputation makes people think you had a great playoff run” lools like, let’s go play this exact game with Jimmy Butler.
Generational hater. He’s gonna be a demon as an assistant coach
Kinda stunned no one’s said Dwight Howard. By 26, he had racked up 8xAll Star, 8xAll NBA including 5 straight first teams, 3x DPOY, 5x Rebounding champ, 2x block champ, and a finals appearance. By 28, he was essentially a washed-up big body to throw at other centers, bouncing around team to team barely clinging to the league.
If refs don’t protect players they’ll protect themselves
