I found a twitter thread that appeared to be discussing this problem. It said the solution was to set a Referer header value of stats.nba.com. A while back I had to add a Host header value to fix a similar issue where my requests hung indefinitely. So I just changed the header parameter from Host t...

I agree. Even once a month, I think would be reasonable.

When you say "pure RAPM", can we take this to mean single-year, no-prior (zero prior)? Also, could you clarify what is meant by "Total RAPM"? :) Yes, it's single-year, zero prior. I guess the term most people used in the past was 'vanilla RAPM'. Total RAPM is just ORAPM - DRAPM ...

Crow wrote:"Total RAPM" is ORAPM - DRAPM by formula it appears; but I don't know what that means.

Thanks!

Yes, that is what I figured but I am unsure why that needs to be represented.

Do we have an idea of how often shadow is updating this file?

Here's pure RAPM for 2017-18 so far: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSzp3G5rwP9xgCgluVGmR3Qj4-BMoGSYiuTKM6o_pzES6s95oQE1nQvB2CXed-4fRc_MMGgpULtDaJ_/pubhtml?gid=1825430955&single=true LeBron is 4th in ORAPM and 435th (3rd worst) in DRAPM. I'll update it periodically throughout t...

Was just about to tweet him

We're shameless

7. The most-used lineup for the Cavaliers must be Irving-Smith-Shumpert-James-Frye. Due primarily to being incredibly quick at all five positions and capable of shooting spot-up three pointers at all four positions around James, this is the optimum lineup for the Cavaliers. Both James and Frye have...

Congratulations Seth!

Warriors have turned into a defensive juggernaut with Curry out. In 5 Games (not looking at his two half played games): +11.60 SRS, 115.0 ORTG, 101.7 DRTG (not including team TOs) That's a 101.7 against a 108.1 weighted average ORTG for 3 games/2 games vs. Houston/Portland, so 6.8 points below their...

Miami with a crazy 136.9 ORTG (~135 w/team TOs) on Charlotte through two games. Currently the highest ORTG in any series ever since 1984 (record is 127.3 by Phoenix in 1st round of 95 playoffs).

Miami put up the highest ORTG of this season of any team in game 1 at 147.4.

mystic!

What are your qualitative/quantitative thoughts on Curry this year? Lot of talk of him playing at GOAT level, would you say you'd agree given what you've seen?

JE/SI's RPM (single-year) is up on ESPN. http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/rpm Spread seems pretty tight. Also from JE's Twitter: Single year RAPM rankings (in order): Draymond Green, Iguodala, Curry, Ginobili, LeBron James, Marcus Morris, Dellavedova, Lavoy Allen Multiyear RAPM top 10: LeBron, Curr...

So after last night's game, he's at the highest scoring rate of all time AND the highest TS% of all time among qualified players.
