Hello everyone,
a few weeks ago MrJ made a nice suggestion
(327532.52) to start tracking buzzer beaters of individual players and jokeru suggested
(327532.53) tracking buzzer beaters of individual teams. It would be nice if BB implements these suggestions.
Until then, here are are some command-line utilities,
BB-events, based on bbinsider
(318389.1), that help you to track these events fairly easily for your team. Most of the heavy lifting is done by bbinsider, so the credits really belong there.
Here is the link:
BB-Events
https://github.com/bb-analyst-xr7/bb-eventsHere is how to use (happy to help if any of these steps are unclear - AI can help too):
1. Follow the first-time installation steps as outlined in the project's overview page on Github.
2. Run `uv run bb-team-buzzerbeaters --teamid <your-teams-id> --from-first-active --auto-first-season --season-to 71` to fetch all the buzzerbeaters until the current season. Your team's ID is the number that appears in the URL when you navigate to your team's Overview page.
3. Run `uv run bb-buzzerbeater-descriptions --teamid <your-teams-id> --summary` to see historical information about your team's buzzer-beaters and some aggregated statistics. Add `--only-outcome-change` if you only care about buzzer beaters that change the outcome of the game (end of Q4 or OTs).
There are more command line options to modify the behavior of these commands - see details on the project's home page. I have intentionally given a generic name to the repo, because it is quite easy to extend this analysis to track other types of game events. Submit code changes on Github (or make suggestions here) if you would like the more features to be added. And of course feel free to bring up any bugs you find!
