Hope all goes well, Keith!
The Bucks and the Cavs have gotten big contributions from their bench, not so much for Denver and New York
Pretty jarring contrast between Brunson and Cade in regards to turning the ball over this series
Anthony Edwards hasn't just been scoring at an elite level these playoffs, his playmaking has been elite as well.
Ant averaged 7.8 potential assists per bad pass turnover in the regular season, the 13th-worst ratio for any player with 500 total potential assists (68 players).
Elevating his game.
I had the same thought. Unfortunately the data can’t be sorted by defender distance and shot clock time at the same time but I’m currently pulling it so I can organize it in percentage buckets which will at least provide an idea
It is important to note that tracking data isn't available for all games, which is why you will notice some players total 3PA are slightly lower than what they should be
Here are the players with the greatest drops in 3P% when their threes have been contested this season
85 players have taken 50+ threes off 2+ dribbles and 100+ threes off 0 dribbles this season
I defined on-ball possessions as all isos, post ups, handoffs, and P&R as the ball handler. Off-ball possessions were cuts, putbacks, coming off of screens, spot ups, and P&R as the roller. Transition possessions were not included.

If the season ended today and you had a vote, are you writing down SGA's name for MVP?
Changes in rim finishing from last season⤵️
If the season ended today and you had a vote, are you writing the Joker's name down for MVP?
Good luck stopping these guys in transition
Contested rebounding by distance thus far
Since no one is sick of talking about this yet, who would you swap on here?
Aggregated a bunch of shooting data by count of dribbles, here's Jalen Green trending in a nice direction for Houston
Let me know if there are any specific players you're interested in seeing
Points + Assist Points Created Leaders so far this season
Here is who has scored their team's first basket of the game most often this year
And now all teams with a CPOE score of -1 or lower
Here are all the teams who have a play type with a Created Points Over Expectation score greater than 1, along with how often the team uses that play type
Team Created Points Over Expectation, derived from Play Type data.
CPOE is PPG scored +/- what a league average team would score if they took the same shots
Here are the leaders in heavily contested shots within 10 feet of the basket, sorted by FG%
They don’t generate many steals and most of their points come via threes so not really their graphic if we’re being fair
