NBA
12 boards for the NBA season, all built around the same idea: a player’s numbers mean more once you know who they are up against.
- SlateEvery NBA game on the date, with the spots where one defense gives up far more than most and the player across from it. Two views: a short list of top matchups per game, or one game read in full.
- 1st PointWho is most likely to score the first point of each game, and the reasons behind the number. A narrow question, answered as a modeling problem rather than a hunch about the tallest center.
- Defense vs PositionWhat each defense gives up to each position, and where that puts it among all 30 teams. A team can defend well overall and still be the place opposing guards go to score.
- PlayersA season leaderboard for every player with a full profile behind each name — game logs, splits, on-off impact, shot profile and matchup history. It is the reference layer the rest of the basketball boards link back to.
- PlaytypesHow each player scores — pick and roll, isolation, spot up, transition — scored against how well tonight’s opponent stops those same plays. It matches a player’s actual habits to a defense’s actual weaknesses.
- RotationsWho was on the floor, when, and with whom — reconstructed from play-by-play into stints and lineup combinations. It turns a minutes total into a picture of how a coach actually uses a rotation.
- TargetsWhich defenses give up production from which spots on the floor, and which players on the slate shoot from exactly those spots. A matchup finder organized by where the shots come from.
- Matchup BoardWho guards who. Pick an offense and a defense, or a game from the slate, and the board lays out the defensive assignments each side is likely to use, built from how those teams have actually matched up and the roles each player fills.
- TeamsTeam-level profiles covering the salary sheet, the cap picture, season efficiency and pace, owned draft picks and recent transactions. It is the front-office view rather than the box-score one.
- LeadersA scatter view for the league: plot any two stats against each other and every qualified player lands somewhere on the grid, split into quadrants at the pool median. It answers questions a sorted column cannot, like who does both of these things at once.
- Front OfficeAn in-depth team profile: offense, rebounding and defense traits plus defensive playtype tendencies, each ranked against the league, and then the players who would realistically fill the gaps that profile exposes.
- Draft BoardThe draft class as a board: every pick with the team that made it, the team the player landed on, measurements, and the accolades earned since. It is a reference for a class rather than a projection of one.
Every board is included with an account, and the numbers behind them refresh through the day — a posted inactive or a late scratch shows up rather than going stale. Create an account to open them.
