Spurs vs. Knicks in Playoffs:

Breakdown of the shooting percentages by zone. Efficiency closer at the rim is elite for both squads, but NY taking the edge from beyond the arc. Should be a great Finals! #NBAFinals #NYKvsSAS

Wemby with a FIRST HALF DOUBLE DOUBLE (14/10, +15) while the Spurs hold SGA, Holmgren & Mitchell to a combined 9 points.

OKC can’t score in the halfcourt but San Antonio’s 8 TOs are keeping them alive- 12 free points off Spurs turnovers!

With Round 2 of the NBA Playoffs here & Game 7 of Cavs/Raptors tonight, I wanted to share a NBA PPG Predictor!
Uses the NBA's official API to predict a player's score based on:
- Scoring share of their team's offense

Built a Tableau dashboard to predict NBA playoff outcomes using Player Impact Estimate (PIE) and Net Rating!

What’s Pie? PIE Measures how much a team contributes to a game across all statistical categories. Higher PIE = greater overall impact of game

UMICH leading but the story is HOW they’re doing it.

22 pts in the paint. 11-12 from the FT line. 0-8 from 3.

UConn playing great halfcourt D and keeping them out of transition but if Michigan keeps getting to line and attacking the paint, this is their game to win.

National Championship Preview!

UConn vs Michigan through Dean Oliver's Four Factors!

Michigan leads 3 of 4. But UConn's ORB% (8.6%) is half of Michigan's (15.1%). The glass can decide this game!

A class project on the MLB has me thinking.

Does money buy rings?

11 of 15 World Series champs ranked top 9 in payroll. The MLB has no salary cap, just a luxury tax big market teams can pay. Should the league add a hard cap + floor, or is the system fine as is?

Hey X Community! I’m trying something new!

Breaking down the 2025-26 Celtics through @DeanO_Lytics’s Four Factors:

- FG% drove wins in December
- OREB rose in February to compensate for poor shooting, and it worked!
