I was wondering if you'd be willing to prove your special powers to everyone at ST. I mean, if you can really do that while watching the Spurs, I'd be really impressed. Maybe a videotape of you predicting shots during a live Spurs game as witnessed by another ST member(s)??
I'd like to be able to do this myself...so maybe you could teach me?? I think my friends would be amazed if I could predict shots going in or not with 100% accuracy...
Lemme know...

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
You generally can tell by the shooters body language.

but I'm not 100% sure... :lol

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
it's easier to tell when you're on the court actually playing. a shooter knows if his shot is going in or not most times. the defender, manytimes, can tell by the trajectory of the shot if it's going in. many times you'll hear someone yell "short" or "off" on shots during the game that miss. as for being able to tell by television, i would say is a bit more challenging...but you have a 50/50 shot of being right :lol :lol

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
I can somehow predict the shots when they fall down, NBA players are great shooters.

That's not what Aggie Hoopsfan is saying...
He can get it right every time apparently... :clap
-
Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
I don't know about getting it right every time, but when I'm at games, I can frequently tell immediately after a shot is taken whether it will be short or long. Whether it's left or right is more difficult, but I don't miss too many when I call short or long.
-
Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
I can get it right about 90% of the time... but that's only because I've watched this group of Suns for about 200 straight games and I know their body language/release points.
Every once-in-a-while I'll say one is off and it swishes, but that even happens when you're shooting the ball. I've had shots I thought were perfect bank off the board and in and others I thought were way short drop right through the net.
100% prediction is impossible, but you can modify it to a Lysol commercial and say like 99.9%
-
Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
:lol, it would be amazing if anyone got it right 70-75% of the time watching a game on TV.
Best I can do is tell if a guy got it off in good form. At the NBA level, that's a good shot, whether it goes in or not.

In the words of the guy from anchorman "it works everytime, 60% of the time."

Bill Russell claims that he had most of his rebounds as soon as the ball left the shooter's hand

I don't think he meant he knew whether or not it was going to go in, but that he knew that if it did miss he was in the right position.
Dennis Rodman was the same way. For all his weirdness, the Worm actually spent hours studying how his teammates and some opposing players tended to miss their shots.

It is made from real panther, that is how you know it is good.

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
I can usually tell if a shot is going to miss, like most of Finleys. But it's hard to tell if a shot is going in for sure, but you can tell by the form and rhythm. so I'd say you can sort of tell

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
I can predict(in or out) when manu or barry are shooting a Free throw about 85 to 90 % of the times.
So I´d say its true.

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
I wouldn't say it's 100 percent accurate, but you can get the jist of it if you study it enough, I'd say you could tell for some shots. But the variables such as lucky or unlucky bounces can always interfere with the accuracy, plus you can't really tell just how much power is going into a shot unless you release it yourself.
For example: did anybody "KNOW" Brent's shot against the Kings last year was actually going to go on? I don't really think so, same with Fisher's .4, or Duncan's shot before that one.

I knew there was no focking way any of those shots were going in.
Actually, I take that back. The only one that I thought had a chance was Fisher's, unfortunately.

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
I think the main thing we're overlooking is how freaking irritating it'd be to watch a game with somebody who keeps calling the shot every time it leaves the hand.

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
are we talking about forced shots or open confortable shots.?they´re not the same.

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
So in conclusion, he's full of $hit? :spin

Doesn't matter...nobody could do it during pre-game shoot-around...

Why would you take such a comment so literally? I can see Aggie Hoopsfan's point.
Please find something better to do than waste a thread on something so pointless.

Re: Calling Out "Aggie Hoopsfan"...
I can see aggie´s point too,´we all know that´s imposible to predict or just to know about it.but if you take in consideration
1st.Body langueage
2nd.Player´s Fg%
3rd.if its forced or an easy shot
4th.how far it is.
5th.the ball going to the hoop(to the left/right , too slow/too high,too low)
You can actually be at about 50/50 chances.or more
