Shot Count Visualization



I saw some of you saying our shot differential has been way better with Roy and I couldn’t sleep so I decided to play around with some statistical software to test that theory. Here are my results.

Graph 1 shows both the shots for and the shots against in every game with a local trend line applied through a process called lowess smoothing.

Graph 2 is pretty much the same thing but I just calculated the per game shot differential and plotted it the same way.

The vertical line between game 45 and 46 is when Lambert was fired.

As you can see, a few games into Roy’s tenure, we finally began to trend positive for the first time this season and it appears we are truly playing better under him.

  1. Ignore the bad quality I didn’t feel like screenshotting the graph on my laptop and emailing it to myself so I can post this from my phone so I just took a picture of the screen 💀
