yup, but as we all know, ts is seriously effected by ftm/fta. now that gil isnt getting calls, its not a surprise his ts has taken a dip

Gil is shooting 50.5% TS% this season, which is awful. He hasn't shot 53%+ since 2006-07.

What's there to be misinformed about? I have watched him this season and he doesn't have that drive that made him a superstar when a couple years ago. That killer instinct, that quality of taking over games by making unreal shots... that's completely gone. He's 28 and he looks like a 35 year old broken down chucker at the moment. His advance stats support my thoughts on Gil as well. What more is there to say?

I haven't watched ARenas much this year, but are you saying he's just getting repeatedly hacked with no fouls called?

Nah... at least Nelson can deliver deep in the playoffs every once in a while. Carter has an annoying consistent tendency to disappear... Arenas is untested in that area, we'll see what he does. I wish Gortat weren't involved, though.

That was prime Gil, not the Gil now

its a reference to wat tim donaghy used to call the ai treatment where he said refs would make it a point of emphasis to not call fouls in favor or ai, late in his career.
