In all, the OKC franchise has made three previous NBA finals appearances while winning one NBA title during the 1978-79 season. With home court advantage in the Finals, Oklahoma City dropped their first home playoff contest of the 2012 postseason during Game 2 vs. the Heat after opening the playoffs a perfect 9-0 at home (one win shy of tying NBA record for most consecutive home playoff wins). The Thunder will look to become the first team in NBA Finals history to win a title after trailing 3-1 in the series. The NBA Finals represents the first postseason meeting between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder in the history of the two franchises. Finals Berth: Just three years after finishing the 2008-09 season with a record of 23-59, the Oklahoma City Thunder punched a ticket to this year’s NBA Finals after recording a total of three losses during the first three rounds of the postseason. The Miami Heat were the last team to reach the NBA Finals within three season of winning 25 or fewer games (Reached 2011 Finals after posting 15-67 record during the 2007-08 season). 2011-12 Rewind: Oklahoma City entered the 2012 postseason having wrapped-up the second best regular season record in the Western Conference (47-19) and the highest year-end winning percentage by the franchise since the 1997-98 season (.744). The Thunder’s .712 winning percentage this past season ranks fourth best all-time for the franchise. Oklahoma City has now captured playoff berths during each of the three subsequent seasons for the first time since 1996-1998. Stat-Worthy Debut: Kevin Durant (36 points) and Russell Westbrook (27 points), both making their NBA Finals debuts in Game 1, combined for 63 points in the Thunder's win over the Heat last Tuesday night. That matches the most combined points in a game by teammates who were both making their NBA Finals debuts in league history {Julius Erving (33) and Doug Collins (30) combined for 63 points for Philadelphia in their NBA Finals debuts in 1977 against Portland}. The 36 points scored by Kevin Durant are the second most recorded by a player making their NBA Finals debut (Allen Iverson scored 48 points during his NBA Finals debut in 2001).

Schönen Dunk: Beim Thema „Saison­ vorschau“ geht es natürlich gleich um die Frage, wer für dich der Favorit auf den Meisterschaftstitel ist? Jan-Hendrik Jagla: Naja, ich denke ganz kl­ar Bamberg und ALBA. Die haben beide eigentl­ich gute Saisons gespiel­t und haben auch auf dem Transfermarkt gut eingkauft.

  • Dynamic Player Significance (DPS): a New Comprehensive Basketball Statistic

    Dynamic Player Significance (DPS): a New Comprehensive Basketball Statistic

    Dynamic Player Significance (DPS): A new comprehensive basketball statistic David Hill Media Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA [email protected] 15.071 (The Analytics Edge) Final Project May 13, 2013 Abstract Dynamic player significance is a new basketball metric designed to measure each NBA player's importance, or significance, to his franchise. This metric attempts to clearly define each player's role on the team and how it fits with the team's identity. Its key aspect is that it is influenced by the on-court identity of each franchise, which is defined as the collection of factors that contribute most to a win by a given team. These factors differ for every NBA team. Therefore, two players with completely identical stats/skillsets, but different teams, will most likely have different significance values. Alternatively, if a player is traded from one team to another, his significance will differ on the new team even if his production remains constant. Hence, dynamic player significance. Here, I have broken down the components of the model and explored three case studies that clearly show how teams’ identities deviate. Additionally, player evaluations have been explored to show tendencies in the model across multiple conditions. The proposed statistic could help inform team personnel decisions and coaching strategies, in addition to gauging player effectiveness. Motivation In the NBA, one of the most important things for any team to establish is an identity. These are the traits that define a team. Often, identity is the major factor that governs all transactions, whether the team is looking for players, hiring a coach, or filling front office positions.
