so cool how there are clear trends. lots of teams switch directions in the same way, at the exact same time, at around the same rate. wonder what factors are causing this

Makes me wonder if it might be worth watching the Kings again - I haven’t seen a full season since the one immediately after Adleman left. I’ve bought into the hype of a few brief sparks of upswing like Tyreke Evans before.

It is 100% worth it. Even if you have a semblance of Kings fandom in you, you should catch their games this season since they have been the most exciting team to watch IMO. The crowd is electric, their offense is fun as hell… I would kill for my team to be as good as them right now.

Possible to scale the size and/or give gradient color of red-yellow-green of the logos to winning percentage or cardinal rank maybe? If so, maybe give a sliding weight from best to worst to further differentiate.

I like these types of team visualizations, though I typically prefer naming each quadrant (awesome, fun, terrible, boring, or the like) rather than have a single bad->good axis.

I'm pretty sure that is mostly the best/worst team changing rather than most teams changing.

The axis are scaled based on the best and worst team for offensive defensive rating. If the best defensive team starts doing worse, every other team will move up.

I wonder how much of these stats genuinely reflects their matches performance though.

Assuming that as long that a team's rating is consistently moving upward/rightward over time, that would also mean that they're "winning" more matches / having a strong, explosive performance over time?

(vs. just staying in one spot, which means stagnant performance)

As a Bucks fan, the hardest stretch of the season was late November into almost all of December; long road trip against mostly great teams. Never lost a game in February and had the franchise’s 4th longest win streak at 16 games.

Because NBA season is 82 games, the net rating is better correlated with their performance than say NFL which is only 17(mostly 16 in prev season), so in NFL it's entirely possible for a team to win 60%/10 games and still have negative net rating but once you pass like halfpoint/42 games in NBA team that win 60%/26 games out of 42 will have positive net rating (not always though, the better benchmark is somewhere around 60 games, this is when team starts blatantly tanking as they can get clear picture of their position in the draft)

Yeah the scaling is relative to the best/worst teams offensively/defensively. I think the movement of the axes is to represent the scaling of the mean/median values since this appears to be based on actual ORTG/DRTG rather than rank, but I’m also too drunk presently to determine whether that actually makes sense.

Regardless, an excellent visualization.
