Offensive minded jump shooters

Someone else pointed out that this could be the result of Portland switching on so many pick and rolls and the other team having their best player in a mismatch and drawing fouls.

I would be interested to see a statistic based on opponents' expected free throw shooting percentage. Like take all of the free throw shooters we've given free throws to, remove those attempts (and makes, as needed) from their season stats and see whether those players are shooting, altogether, better or worse than they shoot against the rest of the NBA.

That sounds like a lot of work, though.

I'd officially like to put the phrase "championship window" to rest. Such a term should not be discussed until this team can demonstrate decent defense and a semblance of an offensive playbook.

Nate has these guys picking up bad habits for years. I'm not sure if he can somehow get them to "unlearn" them.

Thanks for officially doing this for us all.

So, does the "championship window" begin next season? I kid, because my thought is as long as LeBron James is healthy and Kobe Bryant has help, no other team after this season will be in the championship conversation.

Sometimes, games can be won when great shooters shoot well.

What about when a team outscores its opponents?

90% of the time, the team always wins.

If you can score over 100 points, while holding the other team under 100 points, you have a real good chance of winning!
