Cool gameflow stat site to track Rox

I may be more stupid then the average fan but it looks quite complicated to understand...

 

NewRoxFan -

Thanks. This is the kind of stuff I find extremely interesting. The owner of the site is tracking +/- per player and that's a great stat. Plus they have something called "hv"...."help value" which (because it is always a positive number) appears to be connected to assists and attempted assists. IOW, if a Rocket makes a pass to a cutting player but the teammate misses the shot but is fouled, there is no assist recorded. It seems like the site owner is trying to track this aspect.

For any one interested, the graph between the teams is tracking the margin of point differential (who's ahead) for the entire game and if you follow the timeline up or down you can see who was on the court!

Excellent Thanks again.

 

It looks interesting ... only if I can understand it a little more ...

 

"hv=REB+ASST+BLK+STL-TO"

 

It's pretty cool for individual games, but you would need a computer program to look for trends in it.

 

is anyone willing to do some dirty work and look through our games and come up with each players avrage +/-?

 

I should have looked at the bottom of the page!

It's a lot like an efficiency rating minus the FGA's and FGM's.

 

Hello,

I saw that you all were checking out my site, so I thought I'd come to say hello.

I glad you like my GameFlows. The idea is to create a "visual box score" so that you can get a feel for how the game went and be able to pick out turning points.

I track points and HelpValue for each player's stint in the game. I felt I had to combine all the other values into one number so the chart wouldn't be so busy. Hence the HelpValue.

I'm going to add a help page to hopefully clear up any confusion. My goal is to do every game this season, for the whole league. So keep checking back. I appreciate any comments or questions.

Thanks.

 

A help page would be great.
There are many good things with your charts ...

I think you are tracking how well a team play with different line-ups in a game ... I wonder if some kind of total could be made season-long. Something along the line of a score assigned to a player depends on not just how well he does but also whether the team is gaining or losing when he is the game.

Thanks.

 

I really like the different perspective.

Unfortunately, I had about 10 pop-ups come up.

 

I have a help page up at http://www.popcornmachine.net/help.html.

Let me know what you think.

I don't know where the popups are comming from. Is anyone else seeing those?

Thanks.

 

no popups for me..must have been a problem with his machine.

btw, nice site...keep the good work up.


and welcome to our padded board.

 

I was thinking about exactly this! I was wondering how well we do with Moochie in the game.

 

The page is awesome. It’s very cool to see the patterns of the game and see who is playing when the team is on a run or losing. I’m wondering if the help value is skewed? Maybe a scale of assists being 1.5, blocks, steals, and turnovers 2 pts? But you can pick all sorts of different values for the help value. What script are you using to create the charts?

 

Thanks.

I don't skew the data for the HelpValue. I guess you could argue that. The main idea was to present a players contribution in as few numbers a possible.

I get data from several sources and use a Perl script I wrote to generate the pages. The actual flow images are created with Perl and ImageMagick.
