Webster was playing injured (at least it looked like it) and even then he shot 39% from 3 last season.

Biggest reason is that he's recovering from back surgery at the moment. Maybe when he's all better.

Over the past 5 years (from age 23 onward), he has shot practically 40%. Actually, .393, but that's pretty close.

Why doesn't Nene have a last name? Polish Hammer or Polish Machine? Glen Rice, Jr., Tim Hardaway, Jr., or Glenn Robinson III? Andre Miller or Andray Blatche? Why can't Wall average 8.9 assists per game? So many questions to fill the offseason.

Nene does have a last name though. It's nene hilario.

Thanks for the update. What's his first name?

1. Is Hilario his last name or is it Nene
2. Tim Hardaway Jr- or should I assume that Glen Rice is now going to be in the run for most improved player based on his summer league performance? Why did you leave out Otto Porter Jr.- is it because you thought he was Garrett Temple?
3. Polish Machine + Polish Hammer = Polish Mach-hammer-ine
4. John Wall obviously isn't living up to his potential since he caused so many fantasy league teams to lose by not getting 8.9 assists. He probably is only passing to his favorite teammates and not doing what's best for the team

My guess is that "Polish Hammer" is too Soviet and Gortat prefers the more politically neutral "Polish Machine."

But who knows really. Maybe he just likes "Machine" better than "Hammer" because he thinks "Machine" more accurately describes his game.

"Polish Hammer" is more fun for us fans though. Plus you get to yell out things like "Don't hurt 'em Hammer!" during playoff games.

Polish Machine = Polskie maszyny
Polish Hammer = Polskie młotek

This explains everything. Polskie maszyny looks like a death metal cult or some obscure brand of nihilism. Polskie młotek looks like a traditional dance or a stuffed dumpling.

It's not too Soviet at all. Polish word "mlot" (hammer) has 2 meanings and the second is not wanted to hear.

Nuff said. Wizards worked really hard to get all the mlots off the roster.

Well why didn't he say so? Tupoj!

Because when he gets to 39.9%, he remembers the ending of Life is Beautiful and starts crying.

Nene's name is actually just 'Nene', he legally dropped the 'Hilario'.. I assume Jesus came to him in a dream and told him to do it.
