Does anybody know where to get data (specifically offensive rating, defensive rating, Strength of Schedule, TS%, etc) for each team, for the first ten games of the past 10+ seasons?

I don't think Strength of Schedule is easy to get (if you're only looking at the first 10 games, you still don't know how strong teams are with any certainty), but for most of the data, you can use the play index (here's a preliminary query):

You can get most of that from NBA.com. Just do a query on the splits page for the first 10 games.

When you go to the stats page and use splits isn't it only the last N games, where N<=20?

While we're on this topic, does anyone have any espn play-by-play data for any seasons after 2009/10?
I came across this scraper that should be able to pull the data, but I don't have the first clue on how to use it.

I guess I could figure it out, but if anyone has this data could you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks guys.
