    Couch potato coaches and fantasy folks, hold onto your hats. A new agreement between Synergy Sports Technology and the NBA will provide the average fan the ability to break down game footage like never before. Synergy employees log standard broadcasts of every NBA play creating a catalogued database that’s searchable by every conceivable basketball statistic or description. At least 24 teams pay between $50,000-$75,000 annually for the service but this season the public will have access to the same technology on NBA.com.

    For NBA teams, clips are on Synergy’s website 40 minutes after the buzzer so that teams can break down what went wrong or scout what’s upcoming. The continuous log means every Kobe Bryant isolation, turnover or post-up, in any quarter, against any team, with any specific lineup, for the entire year, is four clicks and four seconds away. The options are endless, almost overwhelming, and nearly instantaneous. Games or clips can be downloaded to laptops for offline editing before posting highlights to the site for coaches in different cities.

    The fan content might be scaled down slightly, but more importantly made user-friendly for the average user including some specific tailoring for fantasy folks. Synergy says the “sky is the limit” on content and how many ways they can slice and analyze the data. Specifics on access are still being worked out but most content should be free with some premium data requiring a subscription.

    On a related note, the same company that logs all this information and stores it is also going to be updating NBA LIVE '09 for the PS3 DAILY with updated stats and such.

    an excerpt from Popular Science: http://www.popsci.com/brett-zarda/ar...ong-tecmo-bowl

    Tendencies that are logged by Synergy Sports Technology for more than 20 real NBA teams will adjust the performance of your fake players. A player’s tendency to cut a certain direction or his accuracy from the elbow or the top of the key will be updated nightly. If Kobe goes eight for eight from behind the arc on a certain night, be sure to launch shots from deep in your game the next day. Team tendencies and streaks will also be adjusted on the fly, so check the paper before you pick your squad.
    pretty cool.
