A running log of updates, fixes, and new features shipped to Count The Bucket.

2.7.0
May 2026

Game Log Range Averages

  • newGame log range selection — click any row in a player's game log to mark a starting game, then click a second row to select everything in between; the highlighted stretch shows exactly which games are included in your range
  • newRange averages calculator — after selecting a game range, a panel appears asking if you want to calculate the averages over those games; confirm and it instantly shows points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and turnovers per game, plus total made-attempt shooting lines and percentages for field goals, two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws across all the games in the range
  • newDate range label — the range averages panel displays the start and end dates of the selected stretch (e.g., 05-20-2026 – 05-09-2026) so it's always clear which portion of the season you're looking at
  • newShare range averages as a poster — a Share Poster button inside the range averages panel lets you build and download a Full Stat poster for that stretch; the poster shows points, rebounds, and assists on one row, steals, blocks, and turnovers on a second row, and the four shooting splits below, with the date range printed at the bottom
  • newPER, BPM, and VORP are now available in the Advanced tab on the Explore Stats page — sort and browse the full league by Player Efficiency Rating, Box Plus/Minus, and Value Over Replacement Player across any season
  • fixEvery player was appearing twice on the Explore Stats page — each player now shows up exactly once
  • fixSwitching to the Playoffs tab on Explore Stats showed zero players for every category — playoff stats now load correctly
2.6.0
May 2026

PER, BPM & VORP, Per-Team Stints, and WNBA Fixes

  • newPlayer Efficiency Rating (PER), Box Plus/Minus (BPM), and Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) are now available in the Advanced tab on every player page — PER measures overall per-minute production on a scale where 15 is league average, BPM estimates how many points per 100 possessions a player contributes above a typical player, and VORP captures total value added over a full season
  • newPer-team breakdowns for traded players — any season where a player suited up for multiple teams now shows a clickable expand arrow on the player detail page; tapping it reveals their stats split out by team so you can see exactly how they performed with each squad
  • fixPER was showing as "—" for players who were traded during the season — this is now fixed and all players show their correct rating regardless of how many teams they played for
  • fixWNBA team pages were displaying 2025 season data instead of the current 2026 season — team stats, standings, and roster information now load the correct year by default
  • fixWNBA player pages were showing duplicate season rows for historical seasons — the extra incorrect entries have been removed and each season now appears exactly once
2.5.0
May 2026

Compare Fixes & WNBA 2026 Updates

  • fixComparing three or more players now works correctly — selecting a third or fourth player loads their stats, the player search dropdown appears as expected, and the Add Player button responds when two players are already loaded
  • fixWNBA game logs now update reliably each night with the previous day's results — game results were previously not being picked up during the nightly data sync
  • fixThe 2026 WNBA season is now available to select in the Game Finder and Season Finder season dropdowns
  • fixStat charts now render correctly on first page load without any flickering or delay
2.4.0
May 2026

Splits Upgrades & Ticker Box Score

  • newLive ticker box score now includes a Team Stats tab — the same shooting splits, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, fast break points, points in paint, fouls, and largest lead panel available in the full scoreboard
  • newShare Poster from the live ticker — completed games in the top ticker now show a Share Poster button, including a player picker to feature any active player from either team
  • newSplits season selector — choose any season a player appeared in (or Career for all-time) from a dropdown at the top of the Splits tab; the splits recalculate instantly for that season's game log
  • newBy Opponent split — new section in the Splits tab showing per-game averages against every opponent the player has faced, sorted by most games played (so division rivals appear first)
  • fixSplits tab tables on mobile were overflowing off the right edge of the screen with no way to scroll — fixed by adding the correct CSS grid constraint so each table scrolls horizontally within its card
2.3.0
May 2026

WNBA 2026 Season, Combined Ticker & Bug Fixes

  • newCombined live ticker — NBA and WNBA scores now scroll together in the top bar with no toggle; WNBA games are labeled with a "W" badge so you can tell them apart at a glance

  • improvementFantasy Basketball WNBA mode now defaults to Min GP = 1 so early-season players appear immediately without having to manually change the filter
  • fixWNBA box scores were returning a 403 error — fixed by routing WNBA game IDs (which start with "10") through the WNBA CDN with the correct Referer and Origin headers instead of the NBA CDN
  • fixFantasy Basketball z-scores showed −1.00 for every player across all counting stats (PTS, REB, AST, etc.) — root cause was PostgreSQL NUMERIC columns being returned as strings by the database driver, causing string concatenation instead of addition when computing the mean; fixed at the database layer and guarded in the z-score calculation
  • fixScoreboard date picker showed the wrong date when switching between NBA and WNBA — UTC midnight dates were being converted to the previous calendar day in Eastern Time; fixed by anchoring date construction to noon UTC throughout
  • fixFantasy Basketball WNBA subtitle was still showing "2025 WNBA Regular Season" after the season rollover
