JohnnyHector Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 You wouldn't even have to worry about the chucking because the Prig BBIQ would cancel that out. Prig BBIQ + JR physical talent/shooting ability = Dwyane Wade JR's a way better shooter than D Wade. It's not even close really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyHector Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Which makes us all sad, really. Clearly, infinite stupidity far outweighs the delta in shooting ability. JR's been horribly inefficient in "clutch" situations this year (4Q, under 5 minutes, no team ahead by > 5 pts). He's settling for 88% jump shots and has a poor.324 eFG% in those situations (was at 94% and .469 eFG% in same spots last year). The worst thing he does, which is clearly evident in watching the games and is backed up by statistics, are the situations where he tries to ISO, runs down the shot clock, and chucks up a terrible 19-footer. 31% of his "clutch" attempts come with 4 seconds or less left on the shot clock and his eFG % is an absolutely dismal .077. Of his few makes in those spots, not one of them has been assisted. In contrast, clutch attempts after 16-20 seconds have ticked off on the shot clock make up 21% of his total, with an eFG% of .778, half of which come off assists.

Id imagine this Knicks are aware of this information. How does a guy on a minimum contract, play 30+ minutes a game and have the green light to play like a total moron? Who's allowing this?

That's a question for Mike Smith, who is listed as the Knicks "Director, Analytics and Pro Scout". Though most NBA teams have someone on their payroll with some analytics title attached, I'm not sure how much of their findings makes it down to the coaching staff. Certainly Houston has gone out of their way to alter their gameplan based on efficiencies this year, by almost exclusively shooting from either the restricted area, beyond the arc, or from the charity stripe. They average, by far, the least attempts per game from 10-23 feet, are 3rd in attempts at the rim, and 2nd from downtown (barely behind the Knicks).

Funny enough, Atlanta is one of the few teams that doesn't have someone with an analytics/statistics title at this point. Maybe they're worried that tracking Josh Smith's shot charts would give the poor guy a coronary. As for Houston, Morey is a young stat-head, so it makes sense. Despite getting Harden, they're not a particularly talented team, so offensive efficiency is their only hope of competing in the West until they can add a 2nd star. Their problem is that they're not a good defensive team and are downright awful when Asik isn't on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyHector Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I cannot comprehend how you come out of a timeout with 8 seconds to play, down by one, and that's the shot you take to try to beat one of the best teams in the (league without your best player). I'd honestly be less pissed had they not been able to inbound the ball and got called for 5 seconds in that spot. Either Woodson completely failed his team tonight, or JR needs to be held accountable. Where is Mike Smith?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How naive of him honestly thinking Smith wouldn't settle for the hero ball. Woodson unfortunately is a figure head and really has no ability to control JR. Dolan loves the kid. He'll we gae his scrub brother a job. I feel bad for Woody bc he's ultimately going to take the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yeah, JR shouldve taken it to the hole, but he has a Forest Gump BBIQ and screwed it up. Trusting JR is Woodson's fault. The Knicks have lost to the Heat and Thunder because JR was 3/18 (sound familiar?) combined in both games in the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Needed win and Knicks back to a season high 16 games over. 500, making up the games from the 4 game losing streak. Now the big 5 game road trip, need to go no worse than 2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombdirt Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 That was a fun one to watch. You could tell Utah was just exhausted, though. The best part was when Novak faked the three and then drove to the basket during the fourth quarter. Chandler and the rest of the bench looked like they just saw Bigfoot. Hilarious. K-Mart did a pretty good job too. This road trip is going to suck, but four of the five are nationally televised so I'll get to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Bummer about Amar'e. The good news is that Kenyon Martin has another two weeks left before he starts complai, er, before his feet hurt and he goes on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
