Brooklyn Nets 2021/22 season summary
Revisiting NBA player data - via nba_api
I’m starting to pull together some player data for the NBA 2021/22 season, and have started with the Nets. I didn’t really follow the last season that closely, and thought that plotting a heatmap of minutes played, sorted by total minutes played, might be a handy way to presenting a summary of a season.

Results by electorate for the freedom friendly parties; sneak peak at the Victorian election
Results by Electoral District
Although informative, reviewing the results by polling place (see previous post) is potentially deceptive as the number of votes is not easily interpretable through the size of markers representing the geographic location of the polling places. When the votes are presented by electoral district (Figure 1), the results appear slightly stronger because regional areas are disproportionately emphasised visually due to their geographic coverage, i.e. the lower population density in regional areas is not reflected within the polygons of the choropleth map. Another difference is that the clustering of voting for the FFMPs along coastal areas and towns that we saw when reviewing results at the polling place level is obscured.

Where was the support for the freedom friendly minor parties geographically?
The Disappointment that is Melbourne
The map of Victoria identifies polling places by levels of support for FFMPs: ranging from 0 up to 45%. i.e. 0-5%, 5-10%, 10-15%, 15-20%, 25-35%, and 35-45%. Darker orange shading indicates greater levels of support. Note the deliberately de-emphasized white large circles in inner-city Melbourne, where votes of residents presumably favoured the Greens or the Labour. The size of the markers are scaled according to quantiles of total votes at each polling place.
Support for the FFMPs in Victoria were largely at the outer fringes of Melbourne, predominantly the south-east of Melbourne in Dandenong/Pakenham and the surrounding area (e.g. polling booth Dandenong ISAACS PPVC with ~21%). There was also some support in the north near South Morang/Thomastown (South Morang Lakes 20% & Thomastown West 18%) and in the west near Sunshine and Hoppers Crossing (Derrimut Health and the Grange both had 18% support).
