So I decided to dig into Divincenzo’s last 10 games stats this morning. Started simple – just opened the NBA stats page on my laptop while sipping coffee. Figured I’d grab numbers across points, rebounds, assists, the usual stuff.
First Roadblock Hit
NBA’s website was acting crazy slow, freezing every time I clicked his player profile. Waited like 15 minutes just to see his basic season averages. Finally said screw it and pulled out my phone – the mobile site loaded faster somehow.
Here’s how I tracked each game manually:
- Opened notes app on phone
- Scrolled game logs one-by-one
- Typed numbers straight into spreadsheet later
- Noticed 3-point % was jumping like crazy
Hand-copying stats took forever. Twice I fat-fingered the rebounds column and had to recheck. My cat jumped on the keyboard halfway through and almost wiped everything – little jerk. Almost threw my phone.
Patterns Popped Up
When I finally plotted the numbers, wild swings showed up. Like last Tuesday against Boston – dude dropped 22 points with 6 threes! Then next game? Bricked everything. Zero threes on eight tries.
Key takeaways from the mess:
- His minutes got cut hard in blowout losses
- Assist numbers tanked when playing with second unit
- Rebounds stayed steady surprisingly
My laptop battery died during the graph-making part. Had to scramble for charger while muttering bad words. Plugged back in, finished the charts looking like kindergarten art. Good enough.
Final Reality Check
Truth? Stats don’t tell the full story. Saw one game where his defense saved their butts twice in overtime – box score showed nothing. Should’ve just watched highlights instead of crunching numbers all morning. Next time maybe I’ll sleep in.
