NBA Playoffs Win Probability
This is very cool.
Brian Burke, who authors the Advanced NFL Stats webpage, has developed a model for win probability for the NBA playoffs. So, as you watch the Rockets/Blazers playoff game tonight, you can also watch a chart that calculates and constantly updates the probability of victory for each team while the game progresses.
Can you imagine the dynamic that these charts will contribute to the already electric playoff atmosphere at the Las Vegas casino sports books? ;^)

Now that is neat! I was actually at the game on Sunday, and wow - the crowd was roaring and I can only imagine how that came out on ESPN. To close for me, but I'm certainly happy we won.
I find it pretty amazing that Brian was able to create the charts to update dynamically; I'll bookmark and check it during tonight's Rockets game.
