Game 1?
Game 1?
hold up lemme calculate
And that you initially tried to quote their overall FG% knowing I was talking about 15+ foot jump shooters.
And I'll need to verify your numbers since you are prone to lying
You're a good dude tho...just ty at real life hoops and telling da truf
Hi Stretch!
in game 1 they shot 11/31 from 15+ which comes out to .354
your assessment was just flat wrong.
DPG wrong bout us Heat & bron tbh
right, we're on the same page now talking about ONLY 15+ foot jumpers
you were still wrong
btw, i'm using the shot chart on espn and counting the X's and O's (makes and misses)
if you want to verify the results, feel free to do so. just don't fudge and count any of the 12 and 14 foot jumpers in your calculations. it'll tell you the exact distance.
How so? They have hit some really tough ones. If your number is correct (which I doubt), then it makes sense as to why they are down 2-1. I've said numerous times they are a jump shooting team that if they aren't hitting at an above normal clip will struggle to win.
I'll even show you the quote.
What happened to Ibaka? did he get hurt or did Brooks just sit him?
That quote pretty much clears things up, MS
Are you new to this forum? DPG, is NEVER wrong ...![]()
My numbers are right and you can verify them. Be careful because sometimes 2 shots are hidden one under the other, it's easy to miss one.
From 15+ feet, the thunder shot 11/31 in game 1, 16-39 in game 2, and 10/23 in game 3.
That comes out to .398 from that range.
That is exactly the difference between the spurs series and this one vs miami. Miami is taking away those shots that the spurs were giving up as part of their strategy.
I was wrong about the Mavs and the only one man enough to actually pay for it.
but what about the long list i quoted where you were whining about fluke mid range shooting that flat doesn't exist? I think it looks something like this:
you were wrong man, the heat have really taken that shot away and it's the reason they're up. the thunder aren't shooting fluky at all, they're in fact shooting below their season averages from outside.
I never disagreed with that entirely. Okc has hit tough ones, but they are being game planned against similar to the Spurs did. Okc is missing some wide open ones though and Mia doesn't get credit for all of that.
That's the point vs the spurs I was making. Okc hit at a great clip and won. They aren't vs Mia (partly due to great d & partly regression to the mean)
The Thunder lost because they played scared, ed about the refs, and missed a lot of free throws. They should know that the refs aren't going to give them the benefit of the doubt going up against Stern's sons. The Mavs proved last year that if you play through that and just play well and keep making shots and your free throws then Stern cannot beat you. Plain and simple.
Game 4 will probably decide the 3/4 championship or whatever the correct in' fraction is.
they've actually regressed to well BELOW the mean, such a drastic change can only be explained by miami's D and totally different game plan. i'm not sure why you think the game plans are similar. miami is playing them straight up rather than packing the paint to stop the drive.
