Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, following all your instructions, about the 2018 Miami Heat roster:
So, I wanted to mess around with some NBA data, and I figured the 2018 Miami Heat roster would be a good place to start. I mean, it wasn’t their best year, but it’s a solid team to look at. I remember watching some of those games!
Getting Started
First thing I did was just, you know, googled “roster miami heat 2018”. I just needed a basic list to work from. There were tons of sites, but I wanted something simple and clean, I don’t like the popup hell and ads everywhere!
Organize The Data
Once I had the names, I decided to use a note tool to organize them. The data looks more pretty and I love it.
- Goran Dragić
- Josh Richardson
- Tyler Johnson
- Wayne Ellington
- Dwyane Wade
- Justise Winslow
- James Johnson
- Rodney McGruder
- Kelly Olynyk
- Bam Adebayo
- Hassan Whiteside
I also jotted down their positions next to their names, just for my own reference. I felt like I was back in school, taking notes during a game. Only this time, I was the one making the playbook, kind of.
Digging Deeper (Maybe Later)
For future use, I plan to expand this. I added more detailed info to the data, things like points per game, rebounds, assists – all that good stuff. I thought about maybe even making a little program to calculate some basic stats, but, let’s be real, that’s probably a project for another day. My brain was already starting to hurt.
Feeling Accomplished
Even though it was a simple task, it felt good to actually do something with the data. It wasn’t just staring at a webpage; I was, like, interacting with it. I’m no data scientist, but hey, everyone starts somewhere, right? And it brought back some good memories of watching those Heat games.
I closed my note tool, and felt well, finish a small and good job.
