Enjoying seeing TJ and Bonner reunited (play me some of that peaches and herb now).

Ah what might have been.

LX · 12-31-2011, 09:12 PM

Wait - just realized that Bonner was shipped out the same off-season that brought TJ in. Still - what might have been? Gotta be up there with Vince and TMac.

I bet TJ and Bonner are distant cousins too. There's a striking ressemblance.

Is this necessarily a good thing? Certain situations calls for 3 pointers (clutch situations), and if they have no flow from deep, that could lower their percentage. I expect them to shoot more threes as the season progresses because I was reading somewhere that they are basically taking less threes (or no threes) and taking more 16-23 foot jumpers. Not exactly a good trade-off. Anyone who watches the sport knows those are the least efficient shots in basketball. James/Wade are getting away with it now because they are shooting really well from that range (LeBron is shooting like 56% from 16-23 feet), but that's not sustainable. This whole speedy offence will have to slow down in the playoffs and call for more halfcourt offence. I heard Miami is calling less plays this season too. Won't that hurt them in the playoffs? Slower game, less plays, less 3 point shooting from their stars (which could hurt because you know teams will run zone on them). Seems weird to me.

Shooting 32% from three point range is the equivalent of shooting 48% from 16-23 feet. Obviously 32% is much easier to hit. Wade only shot 37% from 16-23 feet last year (equivalent to about 25% from 3) and LeBron shot about 45% (equivalent to about 30% from 3). However, the more they shoot from that range, the lower the percentage generally. This lowers their efficiency, and as the defence, you have done your job if Wade/Bron settle for that 16-23 foot jumper. This basically means it is a better decision to shoot a three than to shoot this very inefficient long-2 jumpshot. We'll see how this plays out as the season goes on.

LX · 01-01-2012, 03:07 PM

Fewer set plays didn't hurt Dallas in the playoffs. Playing a more random offense should only help any team in the playoffs, where teams can get their defenses set more and more effectively when they get an increasing sense of what is coming.

And 23 foot jumpers aren't a great thing to rely on, but 16 is a whole other story, and would be preferable in my mind, by far, when in th flow of the offense, than settling for 3's at the beginning or end of the shot clock. Lebron and Wade need to bring that flow more than they need to worry about efficient percentages. They have other shooters that can work off them in taking good shots from behind the arc.

**Belsius** · 01-01-2012, 08:51 PM

Today IM watching some of the dumbest basketball I have ever seen. Between Anthony Carter, Barbosa, Beasly and Anthony Randolph... Mein got.

TORaptor4Ever · 01-01-2012, 08:57 PM

Wow. The Heat layed the smack down on the Cats today. 39 point loss. Ouch.

Bill Haverchuck · 01-01-2012, 09:46 PM

FYI, Clippers are playing the Blazers on Sportsnet One.

ClutchCity · 01-01-2012, 10:37 PM

Kobe shoots 6-28 LOLLLL. Wow.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 01-01-2012, 10:46 PM

Clippers are so much fun to watch already and theyre nowhere near as good as theyre going to be.

It does puzzle me why Griffin continues to pop instead of roll with Paul on the pick and rolls. Your jumper isnt good yet buddy

TORaptor4Ever · 01-01-2012, 11:02 PM

I really wonder how long Minny is going keep Rubio from starting.

He definitely looks ready for the NBA.

Probably just showcasing Ridnour so they can ship his ass out!

**Ball Don't Lie** · 01-02-2012, 12:13 AM

Paul is a winner. That is all. Too clutch.
