@MrBearBets Life and kids happen man. Want success for you, but long term trends are a thing.

@Millar_Colin That’s literally the case for my parents. We got very close with our cousins that we’d see on both sides 😂

@SmartPlaysDaily Clicked Tennessee by 1-10 instead of Florida for first time riding 😭

@owenlhjphillips Much appreciated. Finding that there such complexity in player transactions that such tidy data is probs near impossible. & I was hoping nba packages had meta player info so I could pull dob but it’s been tricky to find. Finding I’ll def have to harmonize from a few diff places.

[Owen Thompson @OTStats]

Same plot concept but looking at the NBA. For some reason player transactions are so messy, so getting the start dates that players joined teams is so ugly. @owenlhjphillips Curious if you have suggestions for getting (clean) player 1) transaction data and 2) birthdays

A look at Real Madrid's age profile so far this season. Ancelotti forced to rely on 8 players who have stayed healthy... especially Valverde and Rüdiger who have beared the defensive weight given so many injuries.

Ancelotti has always had his favorite core to play most games, but it's wild seeing the amount of minutes the (healthy) core 8 have played so far. Anything else jump out?

What sticks out Madridistas? Aside from the fact that we need a (young) right back

Had a lot of fun creating this. A lot of people have created similar, but the look and feel is motivated by @OptaAnalyst

@MrBearBets How'd you use a $50 bonus bet when that ticket says $125?

[Owen Thompson @OTStats]

@owenlhjphillips Ah, I was only plotting the individual player's shots. So zones where the player didn't shoot as often didn't have enough volume to display in the "less than average" zones. Also assuming the "sqrt(z)" may refer to z-score as opposed to my using percent diff... wheels are turning

[Owen Thompson @OTStats]

@owenlhjphillips Is there a reason you plot the above and below league average densities separately? Prob easier to set the colors, but curious if there’s another purpose (ie better for density levels or something)

[Owen Thompson @OTStats]

@owenlhjphillips @todd_schneider Had to shoot my shot... I’m hardwired to figure it out

[Owen Thompson @OTStats]

Tried to replicate this but just for LeBron, this is as far as I got in an hour or two and need to go to bed.

Mainly had to get caught up with getting the data in, ended up using @todd_schneider's {ballr}.

@owenlhjphillips Your contours are so clean, any geom tips?

[Owen Phillips @owenlhjphillips]

On The F5 this week:

Where each team's leading scorer likes/dislikes shooting from (relative to league average)

[Owen Thompson @OTStats]

@owenlhjphillips @vshufinskiy Thanks!

[Owen Thompson @OTStats]

@owenlhjphillips If you want to really have fun, you should compare the delay in start times between general MLS games vs EPL/La Liga/etc… MLS is awful. I hypothesize MLS is +20min vs <3min elsewhere in the world.

[Owen Thompson @OTStats]

@SegundaSpanish @LaLiga2 Valencia dropping to La Segunda would be devastating 😩

@inpredict Plot the FT% as the y-axis and what shape do we get?
