Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4569241, member: 153"] I just can't look at his shooting %s as what decides if he plays well or not. Because it's the type of shots that make all the difference. If opposing defenses are crowding the 3 pt line and he's forced to drive, that's a different kind of shot for him. Just think he's was hacked multiple times last night. If he went 2-10 and got hacked 5 or 6 times, making the shot incredibly difficult if not impossible, that shows up in his shooting %s. Assume he doesn't get hack and makes 45% of those hoops. He goes from 2-10 to 5-10. Given the way these games are reffed, I can't look at the shooting %s to tell me how well a player played. I thought he was really good on offense last night and he played hard, he had several defensive lapses on D. [/QUOTE]
