Why Mason can't take more shots?

[Solid D]

Pop, Whottt and Solid D are still living in the 2004 Olympics. Manu is overrated and a waste of time and money. Time to move on...

Here is a quote from Sequ earlier this year, when he actually watched the game and sat close to the action.

Dude, I sat 4th row courtside kind've caddy corner to Vinny Del Whino.

Man.. ****** George Hill is bad ass. So is Ginobili... Also, really like Ben Gordon. Dude is a wizard...

It's weird watching a game that close, totally different experience...

George Hill is Real.

Parker and Ginobili are shooting with a higher FG% than Mason and Finley and Parker and Ginobili are playmakers who can get to the FT line with more regularity. Mason has decent handle but is better as a catch and shoot guy. Finley is one of the worst ball-handlers in the NBA.

Shots per game__FG%:
Parker 16.6 ____.498
Duncan 15.4____.514
Ginobili 11.0____.463
Mason 9.7_____.445
Finley 8.8______.432

You make absolutely no sense. Finley is not a ball handler. So why bring it up? Do you watch the games or read stats? Finley is fukin nails when needed. Time and time again dude has hit clutch shots. Where the fuk are you?

Also, Ginobili is a great shooter but he can't handle the ball either. Did u watch the game last night? Probably not, because you had your calculator out with your nbastats.com site in full view trying to figure out something that doesn't matter.

Mason brings the ball up just fine. He also doesn't make mistake such as turnobili. And dude has won 5 games this year by himself. He also was the key reason the spurs didn't go into tank mode when ginobili and parker were out.

Also Finley was there also.

I am so sick and tired of the ing homerism here. This is not 2007 anymore. It's time to move the on. And please don't go get some +/- stats that try to sway my opinion. I tune into the game, watch it with my own eyes and formulate an opinion. The only thing that matters is the scoreboard.

Ginobili turned the ball over at least 10 times yesterday and got credit for probably 4. Mason, Finley, and Parker were Solid. Solid D as a matter of fact.

if he was the key reason then what was Duncan?

Self-indictment.

The OP was asking why Mason and Finley can't take more shots, and why Parker and Ginobili have to take so many, even when they aren't playing well.

I simply pointed out that 1) Parker and Ginobili shoot for a higher percentage than Mason & Finley and 2) Parker and Ginobili are better at getting to the FT line, which was actually key for the Spurs last night. The first half was when the stats were fairly even, except the Spurs only had 4 FT attempts. The Nets were ahead by basically FTs at the half. Mason and Finley aren't creators like Parker and Gino have been. Besides, I showed the # of shots per game revealing that Gino only takes 1 or 2 shots per game more than Mason and Fin respectively. timvp just goes ahead and says what most already know, and so that you can understand....Parker and Ginobili are just better players.

You seem to have gone back to watching games from the Pop-a-shot area near the concessions. Give yourself a chance and don't just wait for 4th row seats to get into the action.

Ginobili was a better player.
