GET GOBERT OFF THE COURT!!!



And yes, if they sat him and somehow lost a 38 point lead with eight minutes and 28 seconds to go, I would forgive you for not playing Gobert. On a second of back to back games, even though I know some don’t put much stock in that.

When does 35.4% and losing turnover battle lead to victory? When we make 19 more free throws, despite poor percentage from the line and get many more offensive rebounds.

I'm surprised that's the worst. I guess the qualifier is that they have to attempt at least 40 3's.

I figured there would be a few teams between 0 - 5%, but I guess not as many attempt 40 3's.

Bad math:

 

[nuraman00]

In what category?

 

[MHSL82]

In what category?

Shooting percentage. I’m pretty sure 12-24 is not 47.8%. Pretty sure.

 

[nuraman00]

They had the bad math for the Jazz, but not the Cavs. Hmm.

The Jazz actually beat a decent team. We'll see how often they do this from now on.

2-3 times every 6-7 games, if you know what I mean.

It's rare that I know what you mean, the first time you say something.

Either I need a second read, or a further explanation.

 

[nuraman00]

And I don't think they are that proficient. Maybe one time every seven games.

Ahh, I see, 1-4 first round exit you guess. I think we’ll win at least two games.

Clarkson, Butler, Gobert?

Clarkson, Butler, Gobert?

Spoiler: Reason # 1

Two 10 Assist Performances on Jazz.

Spoiler: Reason # 2

58.3% Shooting.

Spoiler: Reason # 3

Either the rebound advantage or the 10 blocks.

 

[nuraman00]

I never would have guessed # 2 or # 3. Maybe I could have guessed # 2 if I had enough clues.

Don't think even clues would have helped me with # 3.
