• I didn't watch the game, did Luka take a lot of contested 3s?

  Not sure if you know, but it would be faster for you to just go to nba.com boxscore and click on number 14 for this 3PA and watch all 14 of them in like a minute. Source: 5 months ago

• [request] Gradey Dick's cross-court pass to Scottie

  If you go to nba.com box score you can download every play. Source: 6 months ago

• Things I see Wemby needs to work on

  I went through and watched all of Wemby's field goal attempts and turnovers against the Clippers on nba.com (I don't have league pass so I can't actually watch the game, sorry if I'm a box score casual 🙄), and here's a few key things I noticed him doing wrong. Source: 7 months ago

• In the first 3 games of the season, the Phoenix Suns have the #1 defensive rating in the league

  The Timberwolves are #1, Pelicans are #2, Magic #3 and Phoenix #4 on Cleaning the Glass. On nba.com (doesn't filter out garbage time & heaves), it's the same order except Pelicans are #1. Source: 7 months ago

• What do I do if I am missing data?

  I am working on a project using NBA statistics and I have come across a problem. I am looking for screen assists in the 2015-2016 season for every NBA Team in the Regular Season and on nba.com, there is there is limited data. It shows values like 0.1 or 0.0 instead of larger values like 7.6 which can be seen in following years. The playoffs have good data that I can use, but only for 16 teams. I'm wondering if I...

• Match the offer, then treat him like he's worth it.

  You're saying the data is wrong on nba.com? Okie dokie. later. Source: 10 months ago

• Why does NBA.ca still re-direct to the sporting news and who are these guys?

  There's a little link up at the top left which will take you to the legit nba.com site. Which is 10x better than the Canadian "we have nba.com at home" sporting news site. Source: 10 months ago

• Scoot & JB connection is the future

  For a while on the nba.com website, when you searched for Anfernee Simons, it showed John Butler's face. I could not stop laughing. Source: 10 months ago

• Hey NBA.com. Your website still sucks. I might try again in another 5 years.

  It's fine after you click the extra nba.com button in the top of the page, but it's just bizarre to try to go to the nba website and to get redirected with an offbrand sports news website. Source: 11 months ago

• In the newest episode of #thisLeague UNCUT, Chris Haynes mentions that the Celtics, Clippers, Twolves, and Pelicans called the Blazers after Dame’s trade request.

  They had a 0.6 net rating in 529 minutes together last according to nba.com so it really doesn't work that well. Source: 11 months ago

• LF for an alternative to cable TV where I can watch NBA games live with a large inventory of on-demand movies and shows

  Go to nba.com and sign up for the app and pay for the nba league pass. Source: 11 months ago

• r/TorontoRaptors has hit 400k subscribers

  Newer to reddit but cool story I was one of the first 1000 Raptors Insiders signed up via email on nba.com in 1997. They sent me a replica ring in 2020. This franchise means everything to me. Source: 11 months ago

• [RbPhillyTake] Tobias Harris on trade rumors: “Casual Sixers fans, they’ll trade me for a Crumbl Cookie… you’re not getting a 6’9 forward back who can, you know, damn near shoot 40% from three, guard other teams best player, shoot close up, drive, play 70-plus games a year” 😳 via @MrUram

  Interestingly enough, by nba.com's measurements, Tatum ended up shooting almost 52% on the series when guarded by Tobias. Source: 11 months ago

• Potential Young Options

  Don't sleep on Drew Eubanks from Portland. I believe he's available - not on the roster @ nba.com. Source: 11 months ago

• Why do fans always add extra inches to a nba players height?

  Players used to be measured in shoes, which would make them about 2 inches taller than their real height. iirc, the nba made a rule a few years ago where teams had to take accurate measurements of players heights w/o shoes...so now the official heights listed on nba.com are the real heights.

• Who are the real "Max Players"

  Can you share where you get this data? The data I see from nba.com for 22-23 5 ft range stats shows Luka at 71.2% from within 5 ft while Tatum is 66%. From 5-9 ft, Luka is at 55 while Tatum is 40%, similar numbers from 10-14 ft. Meanwhile, this season, their 3pt% is 35% for Tatum while Luka is 34.2%. Also, Tatum's 3pt% has decreased significantly over 3 years which makes you wonder if he can ever shoot 37% at... Source: 11 months ago

• The Celtics Don't Just Chuck Threes

  According to nba.com, the Celtics isolated 9.6% of the time in the playoffs, the 6th most frequent out of 16 teams. Isolating one tenth of the time isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. Source: 11 months ago

• [Barry Jackson] Package discussed by Heat would be built around Lowry, with either Robinson OR Vic and another cap facilitating piece (Jovic and Highsmith would work). Number of draft picks is a question.

  Nba.com has him at 6'5. He has like a 7 foot wingspan though which is why it seems like he is taller than he is and why he can guard 4s. Source: 11 months ago

• Why has the discussion around Miami's win last night been about limiting Jokic's passing, and playing zone - when Denver put up a 124.1 Offensive Rating?

  It's right on the nba.com 's box scores if you click on 'range filter'. Source: 11 months ago

• I Created an Advanced AI Basketball Referee. How would this change the NBA?

  This is definitely a cool project - currently all the tracking data you'll find on nba.com also uses a machine learning model to differentiate playtypes etc. (facilitated by Second Spectrum). Source: 12 months ago

• Caleb Martin deserves ECF MVP

  Go back and watch the film cuts that nba.com gives us. There are so many times when Strus, Duncan and Martin float out to the three point line when the paint get's clogged for Butler. He then passes it out to them for a wide open or lightly contested three. Go find me all the film of Bam doing that. Source: 12 months ago
