For example, this morning I'm watching (in 720p HD) every one of Rudy Gay's shot attempts In the Paint (non-RA). By the way, an area of the floor in which on the season he has shot 11 for 52!

Not exactly. Synergy does a lot more. This feature was available for quite some time on NBA's Media Central (media.nba.com). They're carrying over some features from Media Central to the public stats website with a more user friendly UI. Which is a great thing. Media Central was buggy and slow. I don't remember when was the last time I used that website instead of just going to stats.nba.com.
I think is a first for an NBA team. We've seen NFL teams doing this for a while now. We know that some positions players and DHs in MLB go to the clubhouse (during home games) between innings to watch their at bats. I've never noticed it on the bench in an NHL game.
If you think you’ve seen the Blazers looking at iPads on the bench during games, your eyes are not deceiving you. Multiple members of the team are indeed viewing game tape on the bench, during games, with an eye towards strategic adjustments.
A quick survey of Portland’s key players on this subject produced some interesting results. Lillard, Matthews, Batum and LaMarcus Aldridge all said that they are using iPads for help during games. Interestingly, they are pursuing individual approaches when it comes to what footage they want to watch, and they also have personal preferences about when and how they view the on-demand footage.
This video feedback comes almost in real time. Starters are able to watch sequences from their first shift when they check out for the first time, minimizing the delay from action to correction. What might once have been a “halftime adjustment” can now take place before a player checks back in during the second quarter.
“I get double-teamed a lot so I just have them put my double teams on there,” Aldridge, who had 18 points (on 7-for-20 shooting) and 14 rebounds, told Blazersedge. “I want to see how they’re double-teaming me, where they are coming from. Of course [it helps]. If I’m getting double-teamed and I can see how they’re doing it, that helps me and all my teammates.”
