So I went and made a web app that lets you do some cool stuff:

"Tutorial"

Cool stuff Evan.

I find myself immediately trying with a given player On, and then that same player Off, so I guess I'd request/suggest trying to add stuff in that shows differentials.

The logic isn't set up for that yet, because you can theoretically do any arbitrary combination. For example, if you enter 2 players "on", and 1 "off", what should it do? Swap? Iterate over all combinations of those players?

To handle this I will probably build in a way to "chain" multiple queries together and let you do the operation you want. But, um, that may take some time.

At any rate, it's maybe a few extra minutes now...vs not having anything? Not a bad tradeoff.

Woah this looks interesting!

Oh dude I'm sorry if my comment came off as mostly negative. Totally not my intention. What you're doing is infinitely more than I'm doing along these lines and I think it's awesome. I just can't help myself sometimes.

No worries. I was being a bit too defensive.

I am going to address the issue of differentials, it's just a matter of time. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that.

Sweet, good stuff. Definitely going to use this, and can't wait for the team stats to come out.

That's terrific. How far back do the stats go? Just this year?

Yeah. The only site with play-by-play for previous seasons online right now is ESPN, and there are too many errors to deal with (and keep my sanity). So it looks like it will be this season and going forward.

basketball-reference? It's pretty solid PBP, too
