Notice Who's The Biggest Problem??

[SlyPokerDog]

Dude. All i said was you have had some condescending posts here.

Let @SlyPokerDog consider that a personal attack and il lremove it. Until then you are around the bend if you are offended by this. Thick skin man. Thick skin.

Didn't you say in a another post you dont take this place seriously or dont take things personal here??

So which is it?

You dont get to have it both ways or be prepared to be called out on a regular basis.

And congratulations in the graduation. Thats proud material right there.

I don't consider saying someone has condescending posts a personal attack.

Guys, it's not rocket science. The question is who's the biggest problem. Not who's the only problem.

I blame Olshey mostly.

If you are looking for one individual ID have to go with AFA playing out of position as a starting four. Really like the guys's energy and defense and would think he'd be more effective at the 3.

Serious question.

At what point does management (GM's) make statements that the vast majority know to be damning to the team, force diehard fans to become casual fans or not fans at all?

What is the limit of BS an individual can take before turning the game off and moving on to something else for hobby entertainment?

I've never missed a game since Dame has arrived, whether it be in the stadium or watching on TV.

I sweat to God I've been a supporter of NO, but my hip waders are now going under the BS and filling up my boots with shit.

If it weren't for Dame, I seriously think Id cancel my season tickets until the BS ends and we get a transparent(as much as a GM can be) and straight shooter.

I don't know details of the CBA and all that shit that goes into the financial end of things, but i'm just sick and tired of the majority being so down on him and our team because of him. I cant argue with the majority here because the majority includes some very knowledgeable people.

So what is your limit?

I believe this to be a typo and was meant to be swear. I am unclear what is gained by swearing to me, or sweating to me, if it wasn't a typo. My son, please come join me for a moment in time and I shall enlighten you to the potential of your existence. It is clear to me you are in need of assistance in finding the optimal path for you moving forward.

Hmm. This looks like it might be another popcorn eating, forum reading day. Haha.

This is not productive, much less condoned. To remain in my good graces, please log off and tend to your family and crops. Today is still a day of work. Tomorrow is a day of worship and rest.

Isnt an open shot a hog percentage one?

No.

 

[Orion Bailey]

No.

Well, I cant refute that, lol, just ask Westbrick and his hog shots.

But an open shot is not a high percentage shot? Sure looks like it to me when I watch them warm up, are open and make like 75% of their jumpers.

No. An open shot =/= high percentage shot. If it did, Dame could just shoot half-court shots all game long - but because that's a low percentage shot he doesn't. An open shot is not a high percentage shot. It can, however, be a component of what goes into whether a shot is a high percentage shot. What constitutes a high percentage shot, in descending order of importance, is:

• Who is taking the shot?
• Where is he taking the shot from?
• How heavily is he defended?

A player must first be capable of making shots. Then they must take shots from areas where they're most capable of hitting them. And finally, they must try to get as clean a look as possible.

Good points. I was assuming we were talking three point and in, obvious half court shots are not high percentage no matter how open. lol

Good break down though. Cant argue wit that.

I just used that as an extreme example. But that criteria relates to real-life shots too.

I don't dispute the stat that says we took open shots in our sweep. What I refute is that they were good shots and we just missed them. Beyond the Who/Where/Open components that go into a high percentage shot, there's the less-easily measured "rhythm" - shooting in rhythm results in higher efficiency. And what happened in that sweep is that every "play" was broken, and those open looks weren't even close to being "in rhythm". Couple that with the poor Who/Where, and those open looks don't add up to a pile of beans.

Oh I get it now and agree 100%. Thanks

Huh?

Get the fuck out of here with your trolling. LOL'
Funny troll though....

When a business fails it's almost always from the top down. To me the roster is on NO, the Blazers are still in a terrible place with the salary cap from the moves he did 2 years ago.

So when are we going to look at that inconsistent 69 games?

That's cherry picking.
