NBA Teams - Quick February ONLY Analysis

🔥 Lakers - best defense despite Center issues and "fat" Luka
📈 Is Denver heating up for the playoffs?
💪 Detroit's Defense is key for their Regular Season success, their Offense determines how far they can go
❓ Knicks Defense not playoff-ready?

With playoffs kicking off in a few hours, I looked into the teams' performance trends (Week 10-17).
📈 Josh Allen, Philly Defense
📉 Steelers, Texans (One-and-done?)
❓ Bucs a contender or beneficiary of an easy schedule
🔥 Ravens the most complete team?

This time, I added more complexity to my Python code. Removing axis, making quadrants, using arrows and text. Despite not everything is perfect yet ... dashed line does not pass through "zero" ... I am still happy with my progress. I used Offense and Defense EPA to evaluate NFL teams.

While the coordinates in PowerBI are dots, I managed to use team logos as coordinates in my Python chart. As data source, I used Points per 100 Possessions from CleaningTheGlass. (PowerBI on the left, Python on the right) 2/2

This year's fantasy football reminds me of 2021. There are two players, one WR and one RB, who are clearly above the rest. 2024 Chase is the 2021 Kupp. 2024 Barkley is the 2021 Taylor. My fantasy league's final back then: Kupp vs Taylor. This year's final will probably be: Chase vs Barkley.
