Alright, folks, let’s dive into some data. Today, I was curious about how Austin Reaves has been performing against the Suns, so I decided to dig into the stats myself. No fancy tools, just good old-fashioned elbow grease and a few websites.
Step 1: Finding the Right Source
First, I needed to find a reliable place to get game logs. I’ve used a couple of sites before, but it really started to be just hunting down the “Game Log” or “Splits” section. You know how it is, every site has its own layout.
Step 2: Season Selection
I focused on 2023-2024 regular-season stats, I wanted to get a sense of his recent performance, not ancient history, you know?
Step 3: Filtering the Data
Once I had the game logs in front of me, it was time to filter. I went to the Opponent list and find the games he played against the Suns.
Step 4: Crunching the Numbers (Manually!)
Okay, here’s where I just rolled up my sleeves. I looked at each game Reaves played against the Suns and jotted down the key stats:
- Points: How many points did he score in each game?
- Rebounds: How many boards did he grab?
- Assists: How many dimes did he dish out?
- Shooting Percentages: What were his Field Goal, 3-Point, and Free Throw percentages?
- Minutes Played: I want to make sure it is not a game with a small sample.
I didn’t get too fancy with advanced stats. I just wanted the core performance indicators.
Step 5: Putting It All Together
After I checked all the records, I started to see some patterns.I wanted to see if there was a big difference at home versus on the road, so I paid attention to that, too.
So, that’s it! That’s how I went about checking Austin Reaves’ stats against the Suns. It’s not rocket science, but it gets the job done. I like doing this kind of stuff myself because it helps me really understand the numbers, not just read some summary someone else wrote.
