Okay, so I wanted to really get into the Knicks vs. Houston Rockets games, like, really get into them. I’m not talking about just watching the highlights. I wanted the full experience.
Getting Started
First thing I did was pull up the schedule. I needed to know when these teams were facing off. I looked for past games, future games, anything I could find. I wanted dates, times, the whole nine yards.
Deep Dive into Past Matches
Then, the real work began. I started digging into the past matches. I scoured the internet for any information of previous games.
- I checked scores. Obvious, right? But I needed the baseline.
- I looked for any game summaries I could find. Articles, blog posts, anything that gave a play-by-play.
- I even tried to find some full game replays, If I get those ,I can watch the full game.
The Data
Once I had a good chunk of info, I started organizing it. Wins, losses, scores, I put it all together. It’s tough work, because the data is always changing, with new information comes up everyday!
The Payoff
It sounds a little crazy, all this work for basketball games, but it’s satisfying. I felt like I was way more than I expected, and this made me feel accomplished.
