Random NBA Observations 2015 - 2016

[ItzDaKiing]

Yeah I posted it yesterday.

35 out of 52 three-pters (from 28 to 50 ft) = 105 points
52 out of 52 two-pters = 104 points

How could one be more efficient on shots taken from that far out, than someone that makes 100% of their shots. Insane right?

shyt is mind boggling.

 

[Nick Barnes]

Kevin Martin buy out coming soon

Two free roster spots, makes me fee like a big trade is coming this offseason Our 1st, one of our young guys and Peks expiring should get us a decent player

Who do you think we could get?

I'm starting to think this dude is Illuminati

im thinking harden or butler if those teams blow it up. Id even part ways with wiggings. tired of losing. I prefer butler

I think Paul George would be perfect if they would move Wiggins for him. fukk Harden, and Butler has the same flaws as Wiggins. They should shop Wiggins and see if IND would bite on George n/h

Aint it kinda misleading though. The efficiency is pure math, it doesn't account for game situation.

If Warriors are down 1 with no time left, shooting a 100% guaranteed 2-pt shot is more efficient than shooting 67% 3-pt shot from 28-50 feet out.

Unless I'm not getting it.

Advanced stats are ruining the way we watch games

I understand what your saying, but technically he is right because 3 point shots are weighted more when calculating "efficient field goal" percentage

eFG% = (FGM + (0.5 x 3PTM)) / FGA

(35 + (0.5 x 35))/52 = 1.009 about 101%

This is why "analytics" can be

I wonder how much math he did to find a distance range + a number of shots to actually get to that 52 number...which is almost the perfect efficiency number for the number of makes...

He is.

You guys are so fukking sensitive. :smhkobe:

He's not implying that Curry should shoot nothing but half court shots. Why does this actually have to be explained? :smhkobe:

 

[Tha Gawd Amen]

People in here really getting in their feelings over a statement that solely shows how great of a shooter Steph is

You're catching feelings over someone being exposed for using analytics in a misleading and inprecise way but we're sensitive?
