Well, wouldn’t you know it, right after I published my long piece on NBA.com’s HotZones, they decided to change them. The HotZones page is still functional and linked to from NBA.com, but the latest incarnation is now called NBA Hot Spots. It doesn’t appear to have any new features, but the menus do allow you to access more of the data that the HotZones page didn’t (the 07-08 regular season and preseason, and the 06-07 playoffs). It looks like it’s just a new front-end, so all the tips from my previous post should still work, as the data is still stored in the same place on the NBA.com server. Hat tip to Hoopinion for noticing the move.
