Best website to access advanced statistics?

[The Goonibomber]

Out of curiosity, where do you guys typically go to retrieve NBA info?

[SideshowBob]

http://www.basketball-reference.com/ - Best overall stat database

http://www.nba.com/advancedstats/ - Easy access On/Off numbers, shooting splits, quarterly breakdowns, clutch numbers, etc.

http://www.hoopdata.com - Player and Team shooting splits, assist location breakdowns

http://stats-for-the-nba.appspot.com/ - RAPM,

http://basketballvalue.com/index.php - APM, PbP database, extensive lineup data, On/Off, player combinations

http://82games.com/ - Misc.

[The Goonibomber]

Whoa. Much appreciated man.

[SideshowBob]

Also:

http://www.nbastuffer.com/

NBAstuffer.com has a whole host of various other data, but what's really helpful is their advanced stats glossary.

And PopcornMachine.net has game flows; somewhat visual representations of box score data over the course of a game.

Recommend this gets stickied, so it can get added to as further sites emerge.

I wrote a fairly detailed advanced stats primer:

And in case anyone's in doubt, Evan Z's The City blog is a great stats site in and of itself.

Great thread. I use mostly bball-ref, 82games and hoopdata. bball-ref is great for comparisons, head-to-heads, stats from farther back in history, ect. 82games gives me a ton of on/off floor stats, along with 5 man lineups. Hoopdata is amazing for comparing shots on the floor by certain players, like which centers make the most shots or highest % from 9-15 ft away? Or other things like that.

I agree that this should be stickied, we will have some great references when this is done.

Anyone know a place with free P&R stats? Just looking for basic ones, like how often does the ball handler score, how often does the picker score, ect. Is there a free place, or would I have to get Synergy?

which one of the site can show how often a player gets double team? Anyone know who the top 5 or 10 players are who get doubled alot?

I don't think that's possible.. It would take a looong time.

Is there a site that allows you to "make" your own stats? Meaning, if I wanted to see a ranking of points + rebounds + assists? Or something like that. Or if I wanted to take rebounds and multiply it by TS%... Basically a site that allows me to customize.

Not exactly what you're after, but I maintain a spreadsheet of stats that you could manipulate by creating formulas pretty easily.

Here's a glossary that gives the definitions:

Was on basketballvalue, and I couldn't access lineup data for the Memphis Grizzlies. Any other sites that can offer this information?

The reason for that is that the site operator (Aaron B.) works for Memphis, so he doesn't make their data public (although you can extract it from the matchup files if you want, but it's not easy).
