Which is usually expressed as FG/3FG/FT, whence the joke about day/month/year dates.

If she hits her 100 % goal on 3s the chip is ours for sure assuming she shoots at least 5 a game or about 1 per quarter, if she's shooting and making 100 % on at least 3 per quarter then it's going to be another undefeated season!!!

Not sure what to say. People reading it on X (formerly twitter) seem to understand what she means. I provided her stats from previous seasons in the same format so posters here would understand the meaning of her post. I didn't think it would be so challenging.
@HuskyNan can you delete the thread? I honestly thought it was an interesting post by Aaliyah and would provoke a good discussion on whether her goals are achievable in the upcoming season. I didn't anticipate this response.

I think she is capable of reaching those goals. Her outstanding shooting has improved greatly and if she has been in the gym working on her shooting from 3-point land, she has such a quick first step, one shot fake and she is driving to rack for an And One situation. It is possible.

I would think it’s well within her capabilities. 60% on 2s, 35% on 3s, and 85% on free throws is certainly difficult but she’s a very talented player. I think the 35% on 3s will be the most difficult for her though I have seen some videos this summer where she seemed pretty comfortable from three.

Is Canada one of those places where they put the day before the month?
(Took me awhile to figure out what she meant.)
Depends actually. If you look at Excel and the date formating options, Canadians like several. I prefer the month first, but others go with day.
