Okay, folks, let’s dive into how I got those Celtics vs. Lakers player stats. It wasn’t rocket science, but it did take a bit of doing.
First, I needed a place to get the data. you know, a good, reliable source.
Then, I started poking around. The interface was pretty straightforward, which was nice. I found the game I wanted – Celtics vs. Lakers, obviously – pretty easily.
Digging into the Stats
Once I had the game loaded up, boom, there were all the stats. Player names, points, rebounds, assists… the whole nine yards. It was all laid out in a big table.
Now, I wanted to grab all of this. So, I carefully to selected all the info on the website and copy it.
Clean Up Time
The data was a little messy when I first pasted it. There was some extra stuff I didn’t need.
I spent a few minutes cleaning things up. You know, deleting extra columns, fixing any weird formatting. Just making it look presentable.
Here’s a peek at what the final, cleaned-up data looked like:
- It’s just a basic table, nothing fancy.
- I’ve got columns for Player, Points, Rebounds, Assists.
- Each row is a different player from the game.
And that’s pretty much it! It wasn’t a super complicated project, but it was satisfying to get those stats all organized. Now I can easily compare players, see who had a great game, and, you know, fuel my basketball debates with my buddies.
