When watching the NBA Finals, don’t forget that the @nyknicks have a bit of 🍊 to them. Former @Cuse_MBB data analyst and @SUFalkCollege alum Eugene Tulyagijja joined the Knicks staff this season and has helped their coaching staff lead New York back to the NBA Finals.
So for what its worth, when I tried a simple expected efg estimate(ie the points per shot you'd expect given how the shooter did with the same contestation level in the regular season), what stood out from this series wasn't Knicks overperforming,it was Cleveland underperforming.
Charles Barkley fires back at critics who have an issue with the lack of analysis on Inside the NBA
“We want people to have fun. We’re trying to entertain people. We’re on television from 7 to 2 in the damn morning. How many people actually know enough about basketball for us to X-and-O them from 7 to 2 in the morning? … Do people really want to see us four dummies sit there and talk about P&Rs, blitzes, over/under, and things like that? I want people to have fun watching basketball. Period.”

If you’ve ever spent endless hours juggling tabs, spreadsheets, and shot charts trying to actually understand NBA Draft prospects, then this is for you.
Welcome to Overthinking the NBA Draft:
https://t.co/zQhiK5CJR3
We wanted to build a customizable workspace for fans, scouts, and content creators to analyze their favorite prospects, all in one place.
Here’s what we’ve built so far:
The War Room — Fully customizable dashboard with player cards, stats, tables, and custom data visualizations.
Shot VZN — Custom shot charts with 13 zones based on ESPN shot coordinates.
Chart Lab — Create custom data visualizations, charts, and tables using over 250 stats in our database
Draft Sim — Simulation with 15+ years of GM tendencies for the most realistic draft sim tool
Draft IQ — AI assistant that can answer any queries on the 2026 NBA Draft using any information in our database.
It's a beta. Things will break. Tell us what's missing and how to improve.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
Game Day… excited to start my 12th year in the WNBA & 36th season in WBB. Big props to my assistant GM’s in a successful unprecedented off season. #WingsUp
@MT_Lazarus@HawksDraftNerd@tmetcalf11 For the majority of the season, Metcalf was the only person who had CMB Top 5. I couldn’t understand why. I think some combine numbers and intel swayed that last board.
