^ I like bigger boobs on mine.

Fair. But Upton was born in the 90s. That just hurts to even say.

[INFORMER]

Can we trade Gerald Green for Dudley?

PLEASE?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, Dudley was a corpse last year.

This is getting ridiculous.

[INFORMER]

Dear God, Green is awful tonight.

What does he have to do to get get benched? I'm a Green supporter, but this game Hornacek gave him way too long of a leash. He hit the big 3 in the last minute of the game, but he didn't have to play so many minutes in order to do that. On nights like this, go to someone else, Jeff.

[INFORMER]

Kieff was the hero

He was trying to clean up the mess he made. 3 4th quarter turnovers, 6 for the game. Compared to 7 rebounds. Absolutely brutal.

[INFORMER]

LOL at seeing Kendall Marshall on the Bucks. Good riddance to that guy. Still can't shoot worth a lick.

He's shooting 45% from the field and 44% from 3.

[Mori Chu]

INF is back!

[Superbone]

Yes!

something's not right with the TS statistics when the top True Shooting % leader for the phx suns all time is mark west. I wouldnt want him shooting anywhere outside 5 feet from the basket.

1. Mark West .627
2. Ed Pinckney .623
3. Shaquille O'Neal .619
4. Steve Nash .617
5. Amar'e Stoudemire .606
6. Charles Pittman .602
7. Larry Nance .596
8. Jared Dudley .590
9. Oliver Miller .589
10. Jake Voskuhl .589

You need to consider attempts as well. The percentages are just that.

[SDC]

how many shots did mark west take? how many attempts at the FT line did mark west get per game? he wasnt a go to guy. west and shaq were bad outside shooters but both made the top three list on TS%.

How credible is that shooting statistic?

[Indy]

What do you mean? It measures shooting percentage. It doesn't ignore guys that dunk a lot.

I bet his house isn't made out of bricks.

Check again.

I don't understand what is so "wrong" about a stat that shows that our most efficient shooters were our most efficient shooters. True Shooting Percentage doesn't measure long-distance shooting or where the shots were taken from. So what? It measures what percentage of the time you put the ball in the basket. Mark West was good at that.

[Phoenix219]

Because he wasn't a scorer, OR a shooter. Good percentages just means that he got the ball in the right positions and only took the shot when it was a good one. Thats a great quality to have, but it still is a bit misleading for Mark West to be considered a scorer or shooter in any sense. He only scored in the double digits (average) during two seasons, and those were barely - and he only attempted more then 7 shots a game twice as well.

[Mori Chu]

Well, TSP doesn't mean that a player is a great shooter. Just that they shoot a good percentage. It isn't a statistic's fault if the stat does not mean what you wish it meant.

[Indy]

I don't know why, but that was the funniest thing I read all day.

Inconceivable!
