Blazers @ Nuggets 10/8/10 Pre-Season

[Darkwebs]

Bayless hits a long 2.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dante with a jumper!

 

[Darkwebs]

Wes airs the floater across the lane. Yikes

 

[Darkwebs]

Elliot Williams finally checks in! Let's see what he can do

 

[Darkwebs]

EW steals it in his first minutes of the game. Nice!

 

[Darkwebs]

36-42. Still down 6.

 

[Darkwebs]

Guess Roy won't play at all tonight.

 

[Darkwebs]

Neither will Camby, I assume. Nate is trying to protect our guys from the curse

 

[Darkwebs]

Babbit hits a 3! Yeah!!

Even the New York Times has a live play-by-play (written, not audio).

[Darkwebs]

E-Will steals again!

 

[BGrantFan]

We suck at getting to the line. That's been known for a while now. It doesn't help that your starting PF never gets to the line. The team shoots too much from the outside and doesn't put any pressure on the defense by taking it to the hole.

The Blazers were 12th in the NBA in getting to the line last season. Say whaaaat?

Now look at that stat against teams above .500.

Start Babbitt at PF!

 

[MickZagger]

Babbitt is a pure shooter!

 

[Darkwebs]

46-49. Down 3.

Link me on that one. And link me on all teams FTA against teams above .500 while you're at it.

 

[Darkwebs]

Babbit is leading our team in scoring with 10.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Link me on that one. And link me on all teams FTA against teams above .500 while you're at it.

I wish I knew where to go for that, but I don't.

 

[Darkwebs]

Mills comes into the game. It's Patty time!

 

[BGrantFan]

I wish I knew where to go for that, but I don't.

So, it seems as if it is not "well known". Anyhow, let's enjoy the game, eh?

 

[Darkwebs]

EW bricks another 3.

 

[Darkwebs]

49-57. Down 8 at the half

Maybe not to you, but it has been to me. Check the last game as an example. It's why we aren't more successful as a team than we currently are.

Originally I said (but I gave the link for FTs):
Against +.500 teams we were 4th in FGM, 9th in FGA, and thus 3rd in FG%.

Forget that! Fixed version is:
Against +.500 teams we were 4th in FTM, 9th in FTA, and thus 3rd in FT%.

Everyone please use Hoopstats. Few do and it may go out of business. It's been the best site for efficiency stats for years.

They were talking about FTA, not FGM or FGA.

Repped. Thanks for the tip!

Edit - can't rep you again before spreading some around. Sorry!

 

[BGrantFan]

He made a typo. His FTA stats match what he called FGA. Do you even go to links?

 

[jlprk]

Fixed!
Now, everyone's confused!
