Okay, folks, let’s dive into how I got those Pacers vs. Celtics player stats. It wasn’t rocket science, but it took a little bit of doing.
First, I needed to find a place to pull the stats from. I mean, I’m not sitting courtside with a pen and paper, right? So, off to the internet I went!
I started by searching for “Pacers vs Celtics box score”. I wanted something up-to-date and, more importantly, complete. You know, not just the points, but rebounds, assists, the whole shebang.
I figured out the official websites could be good, but sometimes they’re a pain to navigate. And sometimes they bury the stats behind a bunch of other stuff.
After a bit of clicking around, I found a few sites that seemed promising. They had tables laid out nicely, easy to read, and had all the players listed, even the benchwarmers.
Data Collection Time!
Now came the fun part, and by fun, I mean slightly tedious. I could do It manually. I opened up a new spreadsheet. Google Sheets is my go-to for this kind of stuff. It’s free, easy, and I can access it anywhere.
Then, I just started copying and pasting. Player names in one column, points in another, rebounds, assists, and so on. I made sure to double-check everything because nobody wants messed-up stats!
- Column 1: Player Name
- Column 2: Points (PTS)
- Column 3: Rebounds (REB)
- Column 4: Assists (AST)
- and so on for steals, blocks, turnovers, etc.
It took a little while to get everyone in there, but I was pretty happy with it. Clean data, all in one place, ready for whatever I needed it for. That’s how I grab my Pacers vs. Celtics player stats. No magic, just a bit of elbow grease and the good old internet!
