Sigh of Relief... But How Will We Look Without C.J. McCollum?

[CupWizier]

Yeah, that made me feel real great. Thanks.

well that post of wizey is very misleading as the top team salary during the 1988/89 was a mere 10.7 mil. That team was the lakers and 126 players in the league currently make more per year than lakers put out for their payroll back in 88/89. Blazers were 3rd highest and 154 players currently make more per year than the Blazers paid for the whole team. Gas was $.25 gallon when I first started driving. Now it's around $3.00 gallon. Comparing apples to oranges and not really a worthwhile comparison.

Trying to extrapolate anything from an extremely small sample size of inconsistent garbage time would be a foolish way to come to any conclusion though.

Which is why he included college stats.

and his college stats are very decent. It was worthless information as to what his pro stats are. He likes to use stats all the time, but tends to only put forth what he wants you to see.

36% isn't great for a college 3pt shooter playing off talented teammates. Most of his shots were wide open or he wouldn't otherwise shoot.

He only puts forth stats he wants us to see? He literally referenced his 3pt percentage from his entire career...

Do you understand trend analysis as stats are merely numbers. How you use them is when they become effective.

Oh, and I never said anything about his 3 point shooting as being great. My word was decent and at 36% (which coincidentally was his career stat) turns out to be 54% from the rest of the field. I could live with that.

I thought KJ was being sarcastic?

 

[James lamphear]

Our defense was pretty 2nd QT on and especially effective when Zach play with Nurk and Kanter. Zach his play on the defensive end change the game in the 2nd QT. Dame change the game on offensive with 15 assist. I expect Dame will tally more assist with CJ out. Just like CJ big night in assist when Dame was out. Due most our players need to be set up to score. Hood occasionally can take someone same as Curry.

 

[Strenuus]

They mentioned last night he was 1-19 in his last 19 3 point attempts. We will need much more out of him so hopefully he can find that grove again.

Maybe it's in the Forest?

bullshit...total bullshit, but completely unsurprising coming from you. And it's the mother of hilarious irony when you actually accuse somebody else of dishonest argument...

somebody said they were surprised that Layman's 3 point percentage had apparently regressed. I pointed out that there's little evidence he is a good 3 point shooter or will be one in the future. He might...who knows.

he shot 547 three's in college and hit 36% from a 3 point line that's 2 feet closer to the basket then the NBA line

he has shot 153 three's in the NBA and is actually under 30%. And yes, as I mentioned in the earlier post you somehow saw as dishonest, there is some possible sample size skew in his NBA numbers. He was shooting 36.9% before his latest slump in March dropped him to 32.7%. That's quite a drop considering he's had 23 attempts so far this month, but still, shots taken in March count the same as shots in November.

the only thing we can glean from his 3 point shooting so far is that he is streaky as hell. He shot 39% in November, 27% in December, 41% in February, and is now shooting under 9% in March

I want you to point out in those numbers and statements above what is misleading or inaccurate

Good analysis regarding the Clippers.
Next men up. Seth & Rodney. Evan still has to be consistent and be able to focus but I doubt it.

 

[stampedehero]

It's time for Jake Layman to wake up again

Jake...Wake Up Dude.....

 

[kjironman1]

A lot of people unfortunately. I know plenty of hard working people who make like 35k a year. I honestly dont know how they make it. The average household income in Oregon is only about 73k I believe, again if they have kids thats not easy to live on.

I was joking. Sorry i should have used the green font but i thought the sarcasm was strong in that one. I'll be better next time.

 

[kjironman1]

I thought KJ was being sarcastic?

I honestly thought it was so apparent that i didn't bother with the green font. I will be more aware next time.

I don't like Dame playing > 35 mpg in this stretch before the playoffs.

 

[CupWizier]

What trend are you trying to establish?

Layman.

 

[BonesJones]

Layman.

 

[CupWizier]

Did you think we were talking about a different player?

How is Layman himself a statistical trend...?

His stats can be used to project things with the use of proper analysis and looking at trends. Have you ever taken a statistics and probability class? If not, I suggest you do as it will help enlighten other aspects of statistical analysis and use.

Better get used to it.

 

[blue9]

Oh you were serious? I thought you were being sarcastic. I didn't think anyone who watched the beginning of the 1st quarter and the end of the 4th quarter (times of the game CJ always plays) could possibly think that the defense and ball movement was an improvement.

But but but - ONE MORE ASSIST! Very better ball movement! Much statistically relevant!

To address the original question of the thread, I think that the Pacers game gave us a pretty good idea of what we're going to see with the Blazers: A lot of inconsistency, particularly with the second unit. Hopefully, that will smooth out some as guys get used to their roles and playing time.

I'll admit it...when I saw your post I had to look at the thread title to remember what it's about. So many threads, so little focus

And Dame having to log BIG minutes unfortunately.

We'll see about that. Sure if he needs to then i'm sure it will happen. But if the team can play well at home he could stay around 36 mins.

Will CJ's injury hurt his trade value.
