🚨 New NBA tool: inspired by @MoDakhil_NBA's rant in a recent Nerder She Wrote podcast, I created an app to track scoring runs during NBA games, going back to the start of the pbp era. This is still an initial version so every feedback is welcome: ramirobentes.shinyapps.io/ga…

Personal news: I'm looking for job opportunities. Resume: MBA (UMia), #rstats, passion for working w/ data (especially "boring" parts - cleaning, manipulation, quality control). Would love something NBA-related but open to anything, incl. contractor (must be remote). DMs open.

Pick 6 leaders for this season. Maxey is on pace to have the highest total pick 6s since 2017 (the previous high for a season is 12)
Ramiro Bentes@NbaInRstats8 Mar 2022
Anthony Edwards ranks 3rd in the NBA in pick-6s (I defined it as a FGM by a player within 3 seconds of a intercepted pass by the same player), behind Rozier and Thybulle. However, he leads the league in pick-6s thrown. The code to find this using #rstats: github.com/ramirobentes/NBA-…

Play-by-play, lineup stints and possession-level data for the 2025-26 NBA season are now available on my repository (link below). Here's every Heat possession in the 2nd qtr of last night's game against the Clippers, where Miami scored on 14 straight possessions, a season record.

It took the Timberwolves 7:04 minutes to score a point in last night's game against the Cavaliers. That's the 5th longest drought to start a game in the play-by-play era, and longest since 2015.

Before December 30th, Julius Randle was on the court for 97.5% of Minnesota's 68.6 clutch minutes over 20 games. Since then, he's been on the court for 41% of the team's 19.1 clutch minutes over 6 games. #rstats

Bad vibes from Julius Randle, who has been increasingly benched during clutch time in Minnesota. Left before the final buzzer on national TV on Wed. On the latest @KevinOConnorNBA Show:

Number of times in NBA history where all the 5 starters of a team made 3+ three-pointers while shooting over 50% from 3 in the same game: 1. The Boston Celtics last night. #rstats code: github.com/ramirobentes/NBA-…

A couple graphs to illustrate this: 1- Before this series against the Wolves, the worst 6-game stretch for the Nuggets starting 5 in total +/- was -20. 2- The lineup was at least +14 in every playoffs series vs other opponents, but -1 and -50 in series vs Minnesota. #rstats

Denver starting 5 is now minus-50 in 110 minutes in this series. Even if you posited some injury issues and weird blowouts, I'm not sure I would have conceived of that as possible in any series.

Excluding the bubble, higher seeded teams down 1-0 at home were 125-32 in game 2s since the 1980-81 season, with an avg margin of victory of 14 pts. Only the 2017 Celtics had a worst loss (44 pts vs Cavs) than last night's Denver 26-pt loss to the Wolves. github.com/ramirobentes/NBA-…

Gobert out or not, the record of higher seeded teams in game 2 at home down 1-0 is ludicrous. Don’t have the data in front of me, but average margin of victory approaches double digits.

Just realized the Lakers and Grizzlies played 13:06 minutes in the 3rd quarter last night. When the shot clock was supposed to be reset at 1:14, the game clock was also accidentally reset to 2:20. No one noticed and they played the rest of the way with the new game clock.
At 2:08, before the clock was reset, LeBron was fouled and shot 3 FTs

After the clock was reset, at 2:08 Anthony Davis was going up for a field goal with LeBron not even on the court.

Nikola Jovic has yet to play in crunch time for the Heat this season, even though he's started 22 games and played 533 minutes. Among 2386 players to reach those marks in a season since 2012-13, he would be the first to play 0 clutch seconds. #rstats: github.com/ramirobentes/NBA-…

.@nbastats for some reason you're only accounting for the first 7 minutes of the 2nd quarter from last night's UTA @ ATL game (0022300835). It is affecting a few stats:

Back again with #NBA block charts: Barnes impresses with 14 of his 93 blocks coming from three-point attempts. NBA leader Wemby dominates inside and mid-range with his length, and of course the rookie Chet Holmgren also makes the list. Pbp data by @NbaInRstats
