Basketball-Reference rolled out a new Shooting Splits chart? It's fantastic:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/plus/shooting.cgi?player_id=howardw01&year_id=2012

It's a whole host of new data from PBP starting with:

Event Finder
Search through millions of events to find all field goals for a team, all steals for a player, and much, much more.
Lineup Finder
Search through thousands of 5-man lineups to find the best offensive units, the best defensive units, the best overall units, and much, much more.
Shot Finder
Search through millions of shots to find the most prolific dunkers, the best clutch shooters, and much, much more.
Shooting Splits & Shot Charts
Examine a wide variety of shooting splits and shot charts for every player from the 2000-01 season forward.

They also got gobs more boxscore data:

Now before you get too excited, let me explain: the box scores from 1946-47 through 1984-85 are scans of actual box scores. What that means is that we don't have those games in our database, so you can't search for things like the most points scored by a player during the the 1971-72 NBA season. I should also note that almost all of these box scores are abbreviated, i.e., they only contain field goals, free throws, and points for the players.

Lol we are about to start Nocioni tonight.

Someone tell Doug it's too late to tank.

 

[h3ro]

What about going for 100% Spanish, call me, we'll figure it out.

Make him buy you dinner first, Jeff.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

They've been doing well but just gave one away last night against the Nuggets. Williams looks good, but he's playing behind Love so he has very limited minutes. He's also seen as a trade chip by a lot of Wolves fans which is disappointing.

I want to keep Williams and let Beasley go this summer. Tell the Lion to lose 10-15 pounds this summer, come into camp next year in the best shape of his life, and just play him at the 3 full time.

 

[Mothman91]

Williams as a trade chip!?? Fuck that, you guys keep him and trade Beasley. I think Williams has a lot of potential.

 

[tmdorsey]

Just heard on the radio Marvin Williams is demanding a trade.

"Do you have any Spanish inside you? Would you like some?"

 

[charsace]

Udoh gets the starting nod over Beidrins and goes off for 19 points/8 boards and 2 blocks with a +13 +/-. For a coach that emphasizes defense and bringing a defensive culture to the team...it's mind boggling that he still refuses to start his best and most productive defensive player and instead goes with the guy who is worse than Kwame Brown at this point.

I thought Udoh was a bust at the start of the season. Every time I've seen him though he's looked like a guy that should get playing time..

 

[Nori Chan]

"Do you have any Spanish inside you? Would you like some?"

you got a right to do whatever you like to

"and a guy known throughout the organization simply as "Chaz." His name in the media guide is Charles Osborne, and supposedly he's a nice guy."
:jakncoke this made me laugh so hard.

i don't understand why Jimmy is so bitter over the success of Jackson, I don't understand why he is trying to be a penny pincher, and I don't understand why Jeanie isn't in charge.

 

[DY_nasty]

I thought Udoh was a bust at the start of the season. Every time I've seen him though he's looked like a guy that should get playing time..

Udoh had me convinced with the way he was putting in work back at Baylor. I always thought that GS's coaching staff was simply making up excuses not to play him.

 

[giga]

Just heard on the radio Marvin Williams is demanding a trade.

:JNCx1000000

yessss

 

[Raging Spaniard]

"Do you have any Spanish inside you? Would you like some?"

Well, you know, options.

 

[DY_nasty]

Tyrus for Williams. Please? Upside? Length?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

I just want to say that reilo is the

of Nba-GAF. Why? He stole my line about Amare being the cancer. I started that.

*going back to non Best-GAF trollin*

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

DX updated their mock:

http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2012/

1. Davis
2. Drummond
3. Gilchrist
4. Robinson
5. Sullinger
6. Barnes
7. Jones III
8. Henson
9. Tyler Zeller
10. Beal

Barnes should be closer to #2, Jones shouldn't be rated in the top ten...

Just heard on the radio Marvin Williams is demanding a trade.

:JNCx1000000

Al Jefferson and Devin Harris for Marvin Williams, Kirk Hinrich, and a first, you know it would be great.

 

[DY_nasty]

Al Jefferson and Devin Harris for Marvin Williams, Kirk Hinrich, and a first, you know it would be great.

I can still beat that.

DJ and Tyrus for Marvin, Kirk, and a 1st. LET GOOOOOOO

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I can still beat that.

DJ and Tyrus for Marvin, Kirk, and a 1st. LET GOOOOOOO

But ...how would you tank so hard after that trade?

 

[reilo]

Source says next twist in Laker drama will be public support for Kobe from VP Magic Johnson. Column on LA madness: http://bit.ly/wg5x1M

I see @MagicJohnson beat me to the tweet. Check his timeline for the aforementioned public support of Kobe.

Have to admire what Kobe said having @paugasol back.

That being said, I still think the @Lakers are 1 or 2 trades away from being able to win the West.

Fascinating. So much politicking.

 

[charsace]

Williams can produce for someone. Not the best player, but still a solid one that can play the 3/4. I always thought he would be better as a 4 though.

 

[DY_nasty]

Not only that, but having him keeps us from drafting Barnes.

But ...how would you tank so hard after that trade?

We reserve the right to start Diop whenever necessary.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Fascinating. So much politicking.

If the Lakers had Magic Johnson at PG right now instead of Fisher they'd have a better record. Old ass fat Magic Johnson.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

DWill for your pick so we can grab Barnes

 

[Adam Blade]

Clippers suck.

 

[giga]

Time to come home dwight. Horford can move to the 4. <3

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

ESPN gave the Jazz Perry Jones III and Meyers Leonard in their new mock (((((

http://espn.go.com/nba/lottery2012/mockdraft

I would have Tyler Zeller or John Henson than Perry Jones at this point...


edit: Chad Ford's scouting report on Drummond is that he "has a high Basketball IQ and a wide variety of skills" has Ford ever watched him play basketball?

 

[Dominican Power]

Shitty thread title.

 

[DY_nasty]

Tyler Zeller is so fucking soft. He won't even be Haywood good.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Shitty thread title.

Fitting for The Knicks.

 

[reilo]

Shitty thread title.

Can you hear it?

It's a truck-load full of salt driven by Full Metal Jacket.

[Red Blaster]

Shitty thread title.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Tyler Zeller is so fucking soft. He won't even be Haywood good.

Yeah, but he generally knows that moving on defense and raising your arms around the paint is a good idea which makes him instantly better than Perry Jones.

 

[ph33nix]

lol, last year Heat age was the group constantly in defense. now we don't even give a fuck

some of these new LIFELONG SINCE 1970 knicks fans have taken our place

 

[DY_nasty]

lol pheenix says "we" but is a known snitch

Yeah, but he generally knows that moving on defense and raising your arms around the paint is a good idea which makes him instantly better than Perry Jones.

Words cannot describe my disdain for Tyler Zeller.

 

[linsivvi]

They are not Knicks fans. They are Lin fans.

[Justin Timberlake]

WTF, I got a tag!?

What does my tag mean, lol. Brockman!?!?

At a certain point, my taglessness stops being funny and starts being disrespectful.

That point was like, 3 years ago.

;_;

 

[Knux-Future]

I think we've been over this before.

Perry Jones III is a walking draft day cliche.

Jumpottathegymability
Wingspan
potenshul

Plus he looks like T-Mac...and we all know if you have any bit of T-Mac in your game that automatically means you gotta take him. Look at all the other T-Mac clones..all of them were successes..rite.

He's like T-Mac with Garnett's Body.

Can;t miss prospect. His motor concerns me a bit but with NBA coaching his lazyness will go away.

yep.

/Jay Bilas


The above can and will be used in almost every draft for all time.

 

[Gully State]

LOL...what a brilliant image...even Pringles' expression in the background is perfect..

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Charles Oakley was basically knocking over magazine racks on Rome. He called Charles Barkley a coward.

'90s ball is still best ball.

Wait. Today?

Please explain further. Don't make me download that shitty guy's podcasts

Better.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

What do people think of Rambis' analytical skills on ESPN?

I am not a fan. He seems weird on there. I can't put my finger on it.

 

[Syphon Filter]

you guys are obsessed with the word cancer.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

you guys are obsessed with the word cancer.

Hepatitis C will fuck you up too.

 

[exarkun]

being a lin fan is not so bad. if it means I can chill with attractive women who never watched the nba before...

so be it. *hits play on racks on racks*

 

[tmdorsey]

Time to come home dwight. Horford can move to the 4. <3

Only thing bout this trade is with Horford out, Dwight has no incentive to stay after the year is up. :-/

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

That's probably because he's a horrible basketball mind

 

[Branduil]

Just imagine how bad it's going to be next year when Dwight and Deron team up.
