Shameless plug

but have y’all checked my NBA player and NFL QB websites?

Would love to hear any feedback on how I can make them better cause I have a ton of ideas, but want some real feedback (good and bad)

before working on new features.

[Sports and Math @SportsandMath1]

The NBA Player Ranking Website is Live rn: https://t.co/pa4s0RpSWG

Also the NFL QB Ranking one: https://t.co/qnEqY7Kvvu

lmk if you have any feedback,

they have a ton of features (I think the https://t.co/Qr13ZAu5mM page is pretty cool), but still need to add polish / fix bugs

[Sports and Math @SportsandMath1]

Should I make my version of 82-0?

I was working on a BITW page to track player rankings on a day by day basis for the last 80 years and also have 1962 Wilt (and Oscar) way greater than everyone else relative to era for some reason

The ECF MVP controversial for the 3rd straight year

2025: Siakam over Hali
2024: Brown over Tatum
2023: Jimmy over Caleb

[Sports and Math @SportsandMath1]

Did KAT deserve ECF MVP?

Top Players in the series:
1a. KAT
1b. Brunson

T-3. Mikal
T-3. OG

5. Hart
6. Shamet
7. Mitchell

[Sports and Math @SportsandMath1]

Seems like they give this award to the wrong player every year…

2025: Pascal > Hali
2024: Brown > Tatum
2023: Jimmy > Caleb

[Sports and Math @SportsandMath1]

Not as bad at the end of the quarter

9+ mins into game 4

- Hartenstein at a star level (25%), every other Thunder very negative (McCain -40%, JWill -32%)

- Wemby 117%, Castle 73%, Vassell 62%

(of the average teams production)

[Sports and Math @SportsandMath1]

Conference Finals

This currently has Cavs favored over Knicks because they beat a 1 seed vs 7 seed in the 2nd round,

so next step is accounting for how close the series was when updating team strengths (4 game sweep vs 7 game series, down 2-0)

[Sports and Math @SportsandMath1]

How some series

update the relative strengths of teams

Sixers > Celtics
Wolves > Nuggets (the spike on the right is cause of the '95 Rockets)
Lakers > Rockets (right side is flat since no 4 or 5 seed ever won the title)
Cavs > Pistons

Something random I was looking into:

ranking playoff teams after the playoffs based on series wins and seed

here's what it says about the previous 4 playoffs, mildly interesting I guess how in 2023

PHI/PHX/NYK (3-5, R2) > LAL (7, R3) > MIL (1, R1)> GSW (6, R2)
