i replied to this hamm tweet but he ignores me usually. it has no context- thunder are about league average at open / wide open shot frequency. hamm makes it sound impressive but the volume is not.

and of course, judging whether or not a shot is a 'good look' based on the nearest defender is impossible without knowing who attempted the shot. jerami grant and terrance ferguson have attempted 12 wide open or open threes. are those good looks?

hamm is just sunshine pumper. unless it has to do with players that the thunder media are against. i.e. he was big on the waiters push, questioned playing roberson, big on brewer, and he's definitely going to be one of the guys pushing jerami grant down our throats and marginalizing patterson.

Isn't there some advanced stat/sportvu tracking stuff that calculates the shooter and distance and can tell the expected eFG% on this versus actual?

Definitely is, in fact the clippers are rolling out an experience that shows you it real time in game.

**** you Billy
**** you

is he wrong?

He could have said this after every game for the last few years. He needs to say it after the team wins just as much as when the team loses because the system has been the same regardless of result.

I can only hope he actually tries to change things after he acknowledged it, or else its just another of his trademark empty statements. I can't imagine a scenario where he gets canned if he hasn't already so all any of us can do is hope a light bulb goes off.

That thing looks amazing. I hope the entire league embraces it.

It's really cool, but it's way too busy for me to watch a whole game like that.

I like the play tracker thing. I'm really interested in the way plays develop but I don't have a great eye for it in real time. I think that could be really helpful as a learning tool.

Man I hate being right all the time.

Yes Patterson shouldn’t start because grant clearly filled up the stat sheet last night. Also, Schröder is going to be great as a starter if he continues to shoot 2-15. You are a prophet.

Patterson shouldn't start because he's basically nonexistent offensively when he's out there and they need scoring if they're going to have any chance of competing for a championship. How do you expect to compete with teams like the Warriors and Rockets with Patterson who averages 3.9 points per game and can do nothing on offense other than float around the 3 pt. line and occasionally make a 3? He shot 39.8% last year. I am beyond baffled at people on this message board that continue to talk about how good the team is going to be when Roberson comes back and then Patterson and Roberson will start. Roberson averages 5 and Patterson 3.9...yeah good luck with that. 2 wing players that can't handle the ball, pass, shoot or score and offer almost nothing offensively in the starting lineup. That should work great. I could care less if Shroder had a bad game he's easily capable of averaging 20 points and around 6-8 assists. Grant is a much better overall player than Patterson and clearly should start. Grant averaged 8.4 points last year. If you need any other info on stats or anything just let me know.

how can you show yourself on this message board after last season. you and hardenASG13 had your takes smashed to pieces so hard i'm surprised the aftershock didn't disable your internet connections permanently.

If you are a thunder fan I just don't get why you wouldn't have supported them hitting their ceiling last year (melo actually getting it going somehow). It didnt happen, which was the more likely scenario. Take it for what it is.

Roberson proved to be a valuable piece last year, in part due to abrines and Ferguson flopping. I said as much before he got hurt. He wasn't shooting 3s anymore and it was a big improvement.

I love the additions of Schroeder and Noel, if they can move Ferguson now is the time. They will be amazing defensively this year if they can be full strength. They also will be better offensively without melo, we all know it. It's a good thing. They've improved on both ends.You seem to be all in on a Westbrook injury or something? Keep doin you...
