Alright, folks, let’s dive into something I’ve been digging into lately – Joel Embiid’s playoff stats. I’m a huge basketball fan, and with the playoffs being such a big deal, I wanted to see how Embiid really stacks up when the pressure’s on.
First thing I did was fire up my browser. No fancy tools here, just good old Google. I typed in something like “Joel Embiid playoff stats” – pretty straightforward, right?
I skipped past all the news articles and went straight for the sites that looked like they had raw numbers. You know, the ones that are just tables and stats, no fluff.
Once I found a good, reliable-looking site, I started to really look at the numbers. I wasn’t just glancing; I was trying to see the story they told.
- I looked at his points per game, of course. That’s the big one everyone talks about.
- Then I checked out his rebounds. How well is he controlling the boards?
- Assists were next. Is he sharing the ball, setting up his teammates?
- I also peeked at his shooting percentages. Field goal percentage, three-point percentage, free throw percentage – the whole shebang. Efficiency matters, especially in the playoffs.
- And, hey, I even looked at turnovers. Everyone makes mistakes, but how many is he averaging?
My Little Analysis process
I didn’t just want to see this year’s stats, though. I wanted to see how he’s done in previous playoffs. Has he improved? Has he struggled in certain matchups? The whole trend over time.
I actually copied and pasted some of the key numbers into a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just a way to keep track of things and compare year-to-year.
It took me a bit of time, going back and forth between different seasons, comparing the numbers. I Started to see patterns, little stories within the data.
See, it’s not just about reading the numbers; it’s about understanding what they mean. It’s like, okay, he scored a lot of points, but was he efficient? Was he taking (and making) tough shots? Was he getting to the free-throw line?
Finally, I felt like I had a decent handle on Embiid’s playoff performance. Not just a bunch of numbers, but a real sense of how he plays when the stakes are highest. That’s the good stuff, and it makes watching the games even more interesting!
