80% of that post is so ridiculous, the only parts that hold true are the first two paragraphs.

The bolded part made me laugh. It's funny when people try to write on guys they have never seen; it is so obvious this guy is pulling stuff out from his butt.

Bynum is good, but they make him sound like Jesus Christ in a 7foot body.

hate to break to you but he's right.

jefferson shots are 53% jumpers, or in other words, "more than half of his shots are jump shots".

andrew bynum on the other hand....79% of his shots are either close or dunks, or in other words, "most of his baskets are right at the rim".

anyway, ignoring that whole debate. i think this is going to be a tough game. aljeff is going to get his and give the lakers all they can handle. i mentioned it on the lakers game thread but lakers fans are overlooking this game way too easily.

I've seen every game, no way in hell he takes more jumpers than scores in the post. They are probably counting his jump hook as a jump shot, and if they are, then that has to be the explanation; he is barely out of the paint.

Stick to knowing all about Bynum and his holiness, and i'll talk about what I know.

Well, they must have counted the jump hooks as jump shots, because like I said, there is no way in hell he takes 53% jumpers.

You'll see tonight on how many jumpers he takes.

it's not that RC doubts that he shoots 53% so called jump shots as they are recorded. it's only that they record all those shots as jump shots because he doesn't shoot so many "regular" jump shots. he started shooting (and hitting) some 13-15 footers recently but he still takes way more than 50% shots in the paint and close to the basket but they seem to be counted as jump shots.

You know, the Lakers are pretty much the only team in the NBA that I am never confident about getting a win against. It just seems like every time we play these fools we get stomped. Hate playing LA.

I hope we lose. I'm gonna ball, later guys.

RC and rev, do we have another Columbia grad brewing?

Post #35 » by **revprodeji** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 1:20 am

I just want Al to have a nice game. Give them a scare, and then lose. Lotto balls are what matter, but maybe if Al plays great the LA mob will shut up for a while.

In order to win games we need two of either Gomes, Marko or Shad to step up big.
