Hi! I'm also looking to download the rest of the 2011-2012 season data, and the 2012 playoffs. Could you please update me on whether you were able to get the data? And if so, how? Thanks a lot! Box Score Data, shot data, or play by play data.? I'm not sure how people like it formatted, but I can do...

Story Tellers is the easiest source of salary information online, and to me the most reliable of all the sources that claim to have it.

It shouldn't be too hard to download if you really wanted it, well laid out with equal spacing

Question

Did you think about breaking it down on home/away numbers, I'd just be curious to see any variation.

Darn, I have the data to do that, but not the statistical ability - sadness

Scraping ESPN.com for their NBA box score, play by play, and shot files really doesn't hammer their servers too much if you're doing it every day, takes very little time to get a days worth of games, and I'm assuming if you add the gameflow it won't take much more as it's a small xml file For me - I...

NBA STuffer has box score information at a relatively reasonable rate (player by player) that allows you to determine quarter by quarter scoring. I have the data parsed into databases for the 06/07 through 10/11 seasons I did not obtain the 10/11 or 11/12 seasons ESPN has a 'gameflow' XML file that ...

Well, I don't struggle with analysis because I am blinded by data, I struggle with analysis because while teaching my self databases and ruby (but not perl) comes easy to me, teaching myself statistical analysis comes harder for me. The reason one might need SQL for a job like advertised (as the ori...

Interesting little toy - not exactly what i looked at when i was looking at my data, but interesting none the less

I"m a bit late - but if you want to do data anlaysis of any significance, I would think SQL would be vital and important - and it's not just the concept of creating the databases. When you know your database (or create it) you can get the data you want when you want it how you want it. I have b...

THere's a lot of raw data out there if you want to take the time to parse it. There's no real clean easy data to find. I've looked

I tried to delete this post because upon more research, I realize the problem is mine, not the file, i mis interpreted the file and discovered that i was causing the data to be converted improperly and thus throwing my database insertion values off...(unsigned got me). Please feel free to delete and...

Not sure anyone here will know the answer to this question, but in parsing shot charts from ESPN I've run into an issue of 'identifying' three pointers. I thought at first that I could just rely on the description containing 3-pointer, but the shot description only contains 3-pointer on a made shot ...

There was a presentation at the SLoan Analytics about blocks that seemed to be about something I always 'argued' that not all blocks were created equal. I have not yet been able to find that presentation paper. Has anyone seen it?

I'm still in the process of building out, but I can provide ruby code that will download box scores and PBP (html) and shot charts (XML) from the WWL for any date range of games you desire. The box score parsing exists, but because it's HTML it's wibbly wobley - and because the WWL rounds off - minu...

I don't know where you can get betting lines - but i know where you can get half time scores nba stuffer provides team box scores for every game including quarter by quarter scoring - i did not buy it yet for this past shortened season but i did create a database to track a bunch of things and kept ...
