Kevin Durant FT Watch 2013-2014..

[HarlemHeat37]

Durant is averaging 12.8 FTA per game so far, tbh:lol..

#2 in the league is Dwight Howard, and he's 3 fucking attempts per game behind him, a historic discrepancy:wow:wow..

Other notables:

Westbrook is #3, of course, at 9.5 per game..

Paul George is #20 at only 6.4 per..

Lebron James is #24 in the league:wow..

The first Spurs player is Tony at #82:lol..

Should be interesting to watch Durant's rise on the all-time list and reliance on refs for his success, tbh..

[HarlemHeat37]

Durant is currently on pace to shatter the FTA record in a single-season for a perimeter player, tbh..

[HI-FI]

Thunder fans going to avoid this thread like Thunder fans avoiding detox.

[thunderup]

KD's ability to draw calls is the best of all time. It's the refs that blow the whistles, partner, remember that. It ain't KD's fault he teaches when others reach. :)

It's not hard to address a beta poster when he offers his shitty takes on the subject.

Durant looking to bait the defender is beta behavior as getting free throws will work in the regular season, but not in crunch time in the playoffs. We saw it last year, and the year he got assraped by LeBron in the finals. #Beta

:lol Yet we didn't see that vs Houston last year, huh partner?

[AchillesHeel]

KD is one of the biggest betas of all-time, you see this nigga be like 5-13 from the floor but have 23 points...shit is ridiculous.

[Michael Jordan.]

:lol Yet we didn't see that vs Houston last year, huh partner?

Westbrook played the first 2 games didn't he? Beta Durant couldn t even get past a horrible offense in Memphis.

[thunderup]

He still got an underpeforming supporting cast past Houston. In the Memphis series his teammates couldn't make a shot to save their lives and Memphis was able to key their entire defense to stop KD.

:lol you're such a shitty poster that you set yourself up for that.

[AchillesHeel]

Westbrook played the first 2 games didn't he? Beta Durant couldn t even get past a horrible offense in Memphis.

But but...it was Ibaka and Kevin Martin sucking, not KD playing like crap in the clutch for the last 3 games of the series he was 4-22 in close situations in the 4th :lmao

oh hey, here are the stats for the 4 first games in the 4th quarter



Game 1 (W)
6-of-9
67%
12 points


Game 2 (L)
4-of-7
57%
10 points


Game 3 (L)
1-of-4
25%
2 points


Game 4 + OT (L)
2-of-13
15%
5 points

[OKC]

And leading the league in pussbag whining is the originator of this thread. Grow a pair already

[Rogue]

#2 in the league is Dwight Howard, and he's 3 fucking attempts per game behind him, a historic discrepancy:wow:wow..


DH is 3 fucking attempts behind him? I think DH is second to no one in today's NBA when it comes to fucking tbh.

[Rogue]

and it's really hilarious a player whose offensive game is mainly built on jumpshooting averages almost 13 FTA a game tbh. Dirk plays a similar style of game and his freethrow average is just the single digit of that number

[Bynumite]

NBA is trying too hard to fabricate stars to carry the brand nowadays.

[OKC]

People. We are 4 games in. Ya think you might need a bigger sample size before you shit yourselves? His attempts are a bit skewed by the game against Utah. And he was hacked by Utah. Bad.

[Brazil]

:lol @hacking a Durant

[Brazil]

The first Spurs player is Tony at #82:lol..



that's pretty ridiculous tbh... Parker is not a god at drawing fools of course, he doesn't fake a lot and usually initiates contact when he drives to create separation with the Defender but he got no love from ref during his whole carreer. I thought the recent mvp talk would help him a bit to go more to the line but no visible effect. In NY or LA dude would be a top 20 at least on FTAs imho

[OKC]

The Dirk bitching is absurd. before he became one of the slowest players in the NBA, Dirk avg'd about 7 free throws a game. KD averaged..9 and some change I believe last year. Dirk averaged 7 a game while attempting half the number of shots at the rim as KD does. So you're telling me KD making basically what amounts to ONE TRIP more to the FT line, on avg, in an entire game, is bullshit, even when KD attacks the rim at twice the rate that Dirk did even in his prime? Come on guys.

[UZER]

NBA is trying too hard to fabricate stars to carry the brand nowadays.

True. Durant is a jump shooter that gets to the line way too much.

Ginobili flops, but Harden takes that shit to a whole notha level. Its ridiculous to watch. Harden is a beast though.

[Bill_Brasky]

there's no defending this. Durant gets such pussy ass calls. I've never seen more fouls called on jump shots than when I watch the FThunder tbh...

[hater]

good thread. :lol NBA

[Buddy Mignon]

Would have tnought Harden was up there.

[KaiRMD1]

DH is 3 fucking attempts behind him? I think DH is second to no one in today's NBA when it comes to fucking tbh.

Considering the number of baby momma's the ol' sport has, I agree

[spurraider21]

:lmao 19 attempts

[HarlemHeat37]

God, another 19 tonight..

[spurraider21]

:lol you
:lol reach
:lol i
:lol teach

:lmao thunderfaggot

[HarlemHeat37]

Westbrook with 10 to keep him in the top 3, let's not sell him short, tbh..

[thunderup]

Singler, Datome and Smith or the rest of the entire young athletic and feisty Pistons couldn't stop KD at all. They tried just about everything and were unsuccessful. Thus, the fouls. The rest of the NBA should know there is no way to stop KD. Man on a mission. Yall are witnesses.

[Shaolin-Style]

Another 19 tonight goodness gracious. I hope someone makes a compilation/analysis video eventually of how he draws all these fouls.

[OKC]

No one here watched the Detroit game. KD was THAT dominant over every pistons defender and they fouled the shit out of him all night. Fact. The level of ignorance on this board is alarming.

[OKC]

At this point you guys should be worried that OKC now has a solid 7 footer center. Steven Adams is legit.

[Rogue]

The current pistons ain't any better than a D-League team imho. They're going full tank-mode and they didn't even try to stop anyone

[CitizenDwayne]

You don't find it odd that it happens that often?

[OKC]

That's ignorant as hell. Pistons are far from great but they have some legit players on that roster. Like I said, noone watched this game. They just make dumbass comments and assumptions

[spurraider21]

You don't find it odd that it happens that often?
:cry he's THAT good
:cry you reach I teach

[OKC]

You don't find it odd that it happens that often?
Oh I know he gets the BS superstar calls and I know there have been games where people might have a legit complaint, but the thing is, people here assume that everytime KD has a high FT game, it's all BS. Well, it's really not. KD truly gets fouled a lot. LIke I said, I realize there have been games where he's gotten too many BS calls, but honestly there's a lot of games he's just flat out getting hammered.

[spurraider21]

Durant only got 17 FTA today compared to 18 FGA. He's probably disappointed that he took more shots from the field than from the stripe





disclaimer: i actually watched the full game today and he did get hacked quite a bit. but he did get a couple of trademark bail out fouls from jump shots :lol

[ElNono]

Durant is averaging 12.8 FTA per game so far, tbh:lol..

#2 in the league is Dwight Howard, and he's 3 fucking attempts per game behind him, a historic discrepancy:wow:wow..

After tonight's game... Durantula and DHo are neck and neck for the top spot with 96 FTA both....

[AchillesHeel]

After tonight's game... Durantula and DHo are neck and neck for the top spot with 96 FTA both....

Houston has played 9 games, OKC 7.

[spurraider21]

Houston has played 9 games, OKC 7.
yeah but Dwight is literally running away from people to avoid free throws, and he's still that close to Durant?

[Calispursfan11]

Frogbrook pretty high up there it seems as well, minus the acne problem.

[ambchang]

I remember a few years ago, I did a FTA prediction model depending on number of shots taken from outside and inside using stats from 82games.com (e.g. http://www.82games.com/1314/13OKC7.HTM)

Perhaps I will do something similar at the end of this year if I have time ....

Or maybe someone else can take it on. Just do the following:

1) Take all the stats from the players (total FGA x by the percentages outlined in 82games.com)
2) Do a correlation model with FTA, then do a prediction model using the stats
3) Compare prediction with actual
4) Rank the players based on the difference per FTA.

The analysis itself takes a few minutes, but the data gathering takes forever. I wish 82games.com has a database like basketball-reference.com.

[ElNono]

After tonight's games...

Durant: 105 FTA (8 GP)
Howard: 104 FTA (10 GP)

[Jodelo]

:depressedBut he gets hacked:depressed

That number :lmao

[Clipper Nation]

After tonight's games...

Durant: 105 FTA (8 GP)
Howard: 104 FTA (10 GP)
:cry "You reach, I teach" :cry

:lol More like "the ref pretends you reached, I shoot more free throws than Dwight"

[noob cake]

After tonight's games...

Durant: 105 FTA (8 GP)
Howard: 104 FTA (10 GP)

Damn son. Hack-a-Dwight, now starting in 2nd quarter, plus 2 more games played. Dwight still can't catch Durant.

[spurraider21]

i watched the Clipper-OKC game a couple of nights ago and the OKC-GSW game last night. tbqh he was actually getting hacked on most of those FT attempt, though he did get about 3-4 BS jump shot foul calls against the Clips

[Venti Quattro]

I also did and your observations are valid. However, if that's the case he should be averaging 8-10 and not 15 a game.

[Kobe_5_Duncan_4]

"Free throw watch" is beta male activity.

[spurraider21]

Absolutely. We've all seen evidence of his gift FT's. I was careful to specifically mention the last 2 games only. His FT numbers are definitely inflated though he probably should be among FT leaders even if we took out all the bogus ones

[spurraider21]

"Free throw watch" is beta male activity.
And a laker fan spending his free time unsuccessfully trolling a spurs message board is alpha? :lol

[Kobe_5_Duncan_4]

No, responding to trolls is :lol

No
Got it

[Kobe_5_Duncan_4]

Let me continue with my beta activity in peace

[ElNono]

:lol shit bombs
:lol return servers

[fevertrees]

They need an over/under bet on this in Vegas...absolutely disgraceful a jumpshooting stringbean gets "hacked" so much. :lol

[spurraider21]

Durant only 6 free throws at the half for a pace of a lowly 12 and OKC finds themselves trailing at home. i'm expecting radical changes in the 2nd half

[Jodelo]

I can see around 10 coming up...

[Michael Jordan.]

He'll end up with 22

[Robz4000]

The Nuggets have actually shot 9 more FTs than OKC? Yeah, that won't last...

[resistanze]

Lemme guess....Durant is getting hacked this game as well?...

[spurraider21]

Durant only at 12 free throws and OKC still losing. Refs need to step their game up

[spurraider21]

Lemme guess....Durant is getting hacked this game as well?...
they reach, he teaches :lol

[resistanze]

they reach, he teaches :lol

Should be 'they breathe, he screams'

[spurraider21]

:lmao the goods

[LakerHater]

Dudes developin a Dirk!!

[ace3g]

Lol, they get the ball back, and he tries to miss on purpose

[Jodelo]

What happened?

[ace3g]

isn't that suppose to be a 2 shots and the ball foul?

[spurraider21]

the stupidity in these closing seconds...

[spurraider21]

isn't that suppose to be a 2 shots and the ball foul?
yeah i'm pretty confused right here. i think its 1 and the ball back but still. it happened to us against the Clips last year

[Robz4000]

Really? Hickson?

[lefty]

:lol black coaches

[Splits]

11 through 2.5 quarters, will probably sit out the 4th

[Fabbs]

[TDMVPDPOY]
