2013-14 NBA Stats: Totals. After watching the Blazers employ a bit of the. Advanced NFL Stats: Play-by-Play Data. I've recently completed a project to compile publicly-available NFL play-by-play data. It took a while, but now it's ready. The resulting database comprises nearly all non-preseason games from the 2002 through [edit: 2012] seasons.
I have not performed any analysis on the data, so what you'll get are the only basics--time, down, distance, yard line, play description, and score. It's almost exactly what I started with. I'll leave any analysis up to you. I can see where this might become a community effort, where one person might add a column for yardage gained or lost. I'll share a little trick right now. I hope this data is put to good use. Advanced NFL Stats: Play-by-Play Data. NBA & ABA Basketball Statistics & History | Basketball-Reference.com.

A Tale of Two Cities « You’re underrating the Denver Broncos’ offense. Yes, you. I don’t care who you are. You might be someone who considers orange to be a primary color, invited Steve Atwater to your wedding, and has been stuck with dogs named Cutler and Tebow for years now. You, die-hard Broncos fan, are probably underestimating just how good Denver’s offense really is. The only problem, Denver fans, is that you might also be watching them play one of the best defenses in NFL history, too. First, let’s start with these Broncos. The problem with those raw numbers is that we’re playing in an era of particularly high scoring. Oh My Golly As mentioned earlier, the Broncos scored more points than anybody else in football this year. That’s not quite the case with the 2013 Broncos, who are just a tiny bit further ahead of the pack. 1. 2. 3. 4.
It’s not really accurate to say the Broncos led the NFL in scoring. This is a much more representative list of great offenses. Schedule D Some non-Seahawks thoughts: NBA Champs Team Age | Data Dork. For a while now I’ve wanted to start mucking with the free open source software (FOSS) stats and graphing program R. I needed a dataset to mess around, so I scraped the season box scores for every NBA regular season from 1950 to 2010 from basketball-reference.com. I used Python to calculate an average age for each team by weighting each player’s age by the proportion of minutes played compared to the team’s total minutes for the regular season.
For calculation purposes I use the player’s integer age on February 1st of the season. The interesting thing about this data is to isolate the championship teams and see the age trends for the different dynasties. The Celtics Dynasty of the 1950s and 1960s starts in 1957 and goes to 1969, a stretch of 13 seasons where they won 11 championships, beating the Lakers in the Finals seven times. The Larry Bird Celtics won the championship three times between 1981 and 1986, a period where they aged from 27.0 to 29.3. Like this: Like Loading... World Cup Draw seed analysis.

The Toronto Raptors, SportVU cameras, and the NBA's analytical revolution. New technology and statistics will change the way we understand basketball, even if they also create friction between coaches and front-office personnel trying to integrate new concepts into on-court play. The most important innovation in the NBA in recent years is a camera-tracking system, known as SportVU, that records every movement on the floor and spits it back at its front-office keepers as a byzantine series of geometric coordinates. Fifteen NBA teams have purchased the cameras, which cost about $100,000 per year, from STATS LLC; turning those X-Y coordinates into useful data is the main challenge those teams face. Some teams are just starting with the cameras, while others that bought them right away are far ahead and asking very interesting questions. Those 15 teams have been very secretive in revealing how they’ve used the data, but one team that has made serious progress — the Toronto Raptors — opened up the black box in a series of meetings this month with Grantland. 1. 2.
Zlatan et les 259 buteurs: que nous apprend l'analyse des 967 buts de la L1 2012-2013? Si Ibrahimovic a marqué les esprits en marquant 30 buts en L1 cette saison (une première depuis 1990), le buteur suédois n'est sans doute pas le plus décisif de L1, et le championnat français reste encore à la traîne en nombre de buts par rapport à ses voisins. Zlatan Ibrahimovic a marqué de son empreinte la Ligue 1 dès sa première année en France en étant élu meilleur joueur du championnat et en terminant de très loin meilleur buteur de l’exercice 2012-2013 avec 30 buts, une première depuis Jean-Pierre Papin en 1989-1990. Depuis les exploits de «JPP», le football a beaucoup évolué, autant sur qu’en dehors des terrains. Faut-il voir dans les performances du géant du PSG le signe d’un championnat redevenu plus offensif après de nombreuses années de disette, ou simplement le résultat éphémère de l’arrivée d’un joueur de classe mondiale en pleine possession de ses moyens, comme le pays n’en avait plus connu depuis longtemps?

I'm a Baltimore guy, and aside from an affinity for steamed crabs and a regrettable taste for National Bohemian beer, the mid-Atlantic has given me an appreciation for the sport of lacrosse.
To most North American sports fans, lacrosse must seem like some strange niche sport, like "jousting" or "baseball. " But it's very entertaining and fun to watch. It's growing fast, particularly in the super-zips around DC where the ANS headquarters is. For those not familiar with lacrosse, imagine hockey played on a football field but, you know, with cleats instead of skates. And instead of a flat puck and flat sticks, there's a round ball and the sticks have small netted pocket to carry said ball. Because players carry the ball in their sticks rather than push it around on ice, possession tends to be more permanent than hockey. So with lacrosse season underway, I thought I'd take a detour from football work and make my contribution to lacrosse analytics. N'est pas accessible. Notification : stratégie - filtrage des URL. Pass Atlas: A Map of Where NFL Quarterbacks Throw the Ball. It’s very rare for an NFL quarterback to complete a pass in which the intended receiver is standing more than 45 yards from the line of scrimmage.
In fact, NFL quarterbacks only attempted 175 such throws during the entire regular season last year, and only 48 resulted in completions. Joe Flacco was responsible for six of them. Until recently, this kind of factoid was hard to uncover, but like every other sport, football’s analytics are evolving quickly. Thanks to new forms of data and emerging kinds of analyses, teams, media, and fans are gaining new insights into on-field performances. I have been exploring one such data set, a giant collection of highly detailed passing data created and maintained by ESPN’s Stats & Information group. During the 2012 regular season, NFL quarterbacks attempted more than 19,000 passes and completed more than 11,500; the chart above shows the location of nearly every pass. If we look only at completed passes, we see similar patterns. Brian Kenny and my grandmother. Lackey's W-L record belies his season's value, and merits pre-game explanation. - Jim McIsaac It's not enough to kill the win, now Kenny wants to kill your grandmother's love of baseball.
Every time Brian Kenny speaks nowadays, I picture my grandmother. She's 95 years old, lives in the same house she's owned since 1946 and watches every single Twins game on the TV in her sun room. She loves Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven like they're family, and when I managed to convince Bert to talk to her on the phone at TwinsFest three years ago, she didn't stop bragging about it for months to her friends. My grandmother is a baseball fan, and always has been. Then, on Friday morning, Kenny launched a few bombs on Twitter: When I hear a play by play guy give the "w-l" record in his intro,I do have to laugh. Average fan cares, @CJNitkowski because you, they, we, have told them to..have conditioned them. Man, that's when I want to say, "Dude, get off my side.

Football Freakonomics Nominated for a Sports Emmy. I had a blast working with the NFL Network/NFL.com on our Football Freakonomics series this season, and now we’ve been nominated for a Sports Emmy in “Outstanding New Approaches, Sports Programming.” I know it’s a cliché to say that it’s a thrill just to be nominated but holy cow, it really is! Especially when you see the other nominees in our category: CBS Sports, ESPN, NBC Sports, and another NFL Network entry.

Le classement ATP, qui fête son quarantième anniversaire en grande pompe à New York, vendredi 23 août, n’a pas d’équivalent dans le sport, si ce n’est son homologue féminin de la WTA, venu au monde informatique seulement en 1975. En effet, d’autres hiérarchies ont été inventées, comme les très contestables indices UEFA ou FIFA, mais elles n’ont jamais eu la même crédibilité, le même impact ou la même résonance que ce «bottin» des meilleurs joueurs de tennis de la planète, réactualisé tous les lundis matins par un ordinateur localisé en Floride dans les quartiers généraux de l'Association of Tennis Professionals. publicité Actuellement, plus de 2.000 joueurs, parmi lesquels quelque 130 Français, sont ainsi répertoriés, le Serbe Novak Djokovic dominant la pyramide en cet été 2013.
