We're talking penetration, not just flat out shooting. His shooting was great against the Clips in 2014, I've given him a pass all season last season for that reason alone.
But, when we're talking penetration, it's really not news that he's not a natural playmaker. Even in Australia, where he is the focal point, he's more of a shooter than anything else (although they do run some penetration plays for him).
I was referring to your statement regarding shooting. Hence why I brought up his shooting. Not the penetration. Dude is a natural shooter.
Is Tim going to take part in these scrimmages now that Ryan has been cut?
LMAOOOOOO
Frankly I wondered the same.
He went from .744 TS% in the 14-15 playoffs to .571 in the 15-16 playoffs... it's not a bad number (although it's the lowest mark in his career for playoffs), but that's why I said "a down year".
He was a flat out killer against the Clips.
You edited that.![]()
You dogging him for .57TS is unreal dude. What kind of expectations is this. That's what I'm implying. You're making it seem like 57 is bad in general.
I edited 2014 with 14-15 and 2015 with 15-16... didn't know if it was clear, tbh...
I don't particularly have a problem with Patty's shooting, but it's clear that's his value in the NBA, much more so than in team Australia.
I'm not dogging him for it at all. I'm just saying, taking Boban out who was an outlier and small sample, he ranked #5 in TS% on the team. It's obviously way better than fathead's .41, but it's quite a drop from the season before.
That's what I was singling out, and I said I wasn't going to dog on him for that. Just like I won't dog on Danny for that. I always root for Patty, tbh, you can ask roberto diaz, IMO.
Only problem I saw last playoffs. He should have shot more. Dworst fathead and Fatdiaw taking up shots from an elite consistent shooter. And when on fire, is FIRE.
He definitely should have shot more. That guy needs to eat during the playoffs.
No prob, and thanks!
When you hit the embed video option it has FB as an example, but I haven't figured it out. I'll just stick to the tweets

z yeah they do. I've watched all the games I could possibly find that this dude played. He's developed. He ain't great on D, but he's a try hard guy and he has the size to bother. He moves off the ball like Belli. He's got the capability of being something for this team. I'm rooting for him huge-time. They're going to need him.
Good read, thanks![]()
Davis in the pictures looks indeed very tall. I guess in comparison to players like Garino and other perimeter players one can tell he's a 4, unless he's playing next to a couple of twin towers I guess.
Spurs don't have a lot of frontcourt depth in reality so that pushes guys with height to play the spot. I liked the Bertans article. Rooting for the guy too.
Here's the list after the Richards' cut.
LMA looking to take more 3's
Big man to expand range:LaMarcus Aldridge wasn’t afraid to venture out to 3-point territory in his final season with Portland. In 71 games in 2014-15, Aldridge hit 37 of 105 shots (35.2 percent) from beyond the arc. All of those numbers are career highs.
But as a first-year Spur last season operating mainly in the low post and from mid-range, he attempted just 16 3-pointers in 74 games, missing each time.
Aldridge, however, promised he will spend more time downtown this season. In 10 playoff games last season, Aldridge hit both his 3-point tries.
“Pop, after last season, told me to get back with it, so I’ll start taking that shot more this year,” Aldridge said.

Lo hah fans that were claiming for the LMA 3 got it right. I guess it's a necessity. I doubt he'll shoot it in volume. It's probably like Tony.
Thanks for sharing.![]()
