April 24, 2004 - Saturday
After posting the first game-o-graph, I had some feedback regarding an automatic version of the graph.
Ryan Brown was able to pull play-by-play data from the espn website, load it into Excel, and have Excel plot a game-o-graph. Dan Finkelstein wrote an executable program that creates the graph, also using data from espn.com.
Matt Bridges also gave automation a try, with his neat automatic game-o-graphing applet. Paste a URL of ESPN's play-by-play into his gamechart form field, such as:
| Denver vs. Minnesota (Saturday, April 24,2004) | http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/gamelog?gameId=240424007 |
| Dallas vs. Sacramento (Saturday, April 24,2004) | http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/gamelog?gameId=240424002 |
| New Orleans vs. Miami (Saturday, April 24,2004) | http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/gamelog?gameId=240424003 |
| Detroit vs. Milwaukee (Saturday, April 24,2004) | http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/gamelog?gameId=240424015 |
| Indiana vs. Boston (Sunday, April 25, 2004) | http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/gamelog?gameId=240425002 |
Below is a dressed up re-print of his game chart from Saturday's Kings / Mavs Off-the-chart crush-fest. To see the rest, copy an espn URL into Matt's field at http://stdev.net/gamechart.

| The Mavericks led the entire game. If you want
to see the graph from the Dallas Maverick's perspective, flop
the graph upside-down.
For help deciphering the graph, see Game-o-Graph introduction. Game 1 Game 2 A blank graph to fill out yourself here. Send me a message if you want the illustrator file or a .pdf |
