Got to join the Wharton Moneyball podcast yesterday to talk about the state of the NBA and why @deanolytics.bsky.social belongs in the basketball hall of fame. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...
We are so close to our goal!!! Help us get there now!!
Overwhelmed by the support.
Syracuse plays UNC tonight and you can get a statistical preview from our Net Pts metrics.
For example, here are the ACC's top transition players
- Cuse has Donnie Freeman in the top 10
- UNC has Trimble and Wilson

Interesting to compare the NFL not being at all concerned about this to the constant hand wringing about the NBA all-star game.
My older son is a 49ers fan. My younger son is a Seahawks fan. The family chat is a little tense today.
They spent 50 years of playoff success to win this one: youtu.be/Y06M_BxQBDE?...
The Harbaugh v McDaniel vibes would be epic
Just a reminder that luck/randomness is a big factor in who actually wins in the NFL
The way this is going, that FG might have just put this game out of reach for the Chargers
in baseball, we call this a wheeeeeeeee!
I’m old enough to remember when Republicans didn’t want the government to get between a patient and their doctor.
Another disaster. This one has actual harmful consequences for trans kids and their families.
This is great!

Great work here by @mikevorkunov.bsky.social @johnhollinger.bsky.social @amirarose.bsky.social @fredkatz.bsky.social and @davidaldridgedc.bsky.social
Proud to see my first 2 NBA hires (Jesse Gould (OKC) and Jon Nichols (CLE)) rise to VPs and mentioned as impactful.

Exactly how I feel
Any chance the CFP Committee moved Miami over Notre Dame because they were threatened by the Secretary of State?

Wrote today about how novel research from @benalamar.bsky.social and @deanolytics.bsky.social on the impact of teammate chemistry helps explain why Desmond Bane and other high-profile newcomers got off to slow starts, as well as the implications going forward: www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...
Teams above avg on both run and pass blocking are DEN, SEA, LAR, CHI, JAX, BUF and PIT.
How important is it to have a strong offensive line in the NFL? 7 Teams have lines that are above average in pass and run blocking according to ESPN Block Win Rate stats. None of those teams has a losing record and they have an avgwin% of 70%. The remaining 25 teams have an avg win% of 44%.
Top 10 Net Points/100 Possessions according to ESPN Analytics & @deanolytics.bsky.social
Interesting to see Victor 10th overall, but dominating on the defensive end.

Went to see Evita with a friend. 20 minutes in he leaned over and asked “when are they going to start talking?”
Seemed like an odd decision for sure
Spurs rushed that possession and it cost them
Curry was incredible, but the Spurs gave the game away by not using more of the Shot Clock in their 2nd to last possession. Didn’t need to shoot with that much time left.
Hi! I wrote a thing about swimming and trans athletes and [*checks notes*] Santana for @defector.com, would mean a lot if you give it a read
