Hood is the reason 3.0 (Thanks for reading)

Ron Mexico said:
I already did, they won't answer. I have also heard many people in the game chats get mad when he shoots and misses a three that is open and say he should stop shooting those.

I'm not making assumptions, I am taking people at face value.

I disagree with that and still do.

They wont answer yet you are taking them at face value? no answer has no value imo. Also, i have seen you ask franklin so far. His answer was that he thinks hood should be on the bench when he performs poorly. That is not the same as saying that when hood is on the court he should pass up open three point shots imo.

I asked him in this thread. A few posts up.

I am taking others at face value in the chat.


I think hood should never take bad shots and always take good shots. Regardless of what his last shot did.

Duh, did you not see in my post when i said that i saw that you asked franklin? He didn't answer that he thinks hood should pass up open threes when he is in the game. I have yet to see anyone say that and have yet to see you find someone saying that. Provide me some proof holmes. Anyone who wants him to not do the thing that he does best would be an idiot. Not that there aren't some idiotic jazz fans but i have never seen anyone say that they want him passing up open threes.

Nah, I'm good. No reason to waste my time digging through game threads.

Many people on this board think if you are cold you should stop shooting. I've debated this with many people here. Start a poll if you want you will see it's a common idea.
 
Can we trade Hood for Mirotic so we can lock this thread?

TIA.
 
Listened to a podcast with Sam Vecenie and some other dude... Mentioned Hood and Favs to Cleveland for Shump and the BKN pick... I think they are crazy, but would you do

Osman and clevelands own pick #25 (projected) for Hood? I think all of us would do the Favs/Hood for Shump and BKN pick deal in a second... I think there is zero chance of that.

Yes if he is playing within the offense and taking good shots.

Do you think he should stop shooting good shots if he misses a few in a row?

No. I haven't responded to this question yet because the answer is obvious. If you replace Ricky with Hood then my answer is hell yeah. Just like I don't want Favors jacking up 3 point shots.

You made plenty great points, including one about how good Hood is off the dribble. He definitely gets his shots up quick. And, I'll give you this: his misses are usually pretty damn close. I don't think I've seen a shot that wasn't close to going in this season. That's why he's a steak shooter.



The 4th point you've made on this is that streak shooting doesn't exist. Prove it to me. That 1985 study? Please. They all have holes in them as deep as Fish Lake - no bottom. You simply cannot measure streak shooting with such small sample sizes. How are you going to statistically call a 3-off event when a shooter averages only 10-15 per game? It's impossible. How are you going to build your bell curve when a shooter only takes 2 in one game and then 13 in the next? You can't.

Streak shooting is a thing. Law of Averages is a thing (the point you are making). My point in the Hood case is that I want the streakiness to be less and the Law to be more.

BTW, here's an abstract from a scholarly paper that I'm not going to buy:

We examine behavioural changes of basketball players arising from the hot-hand belief and use data of 1216 National Basketball Association games to measure the effect of cold and hot streaks on three proxies of shot difficulty. We find that the more consecutive shots players make (miss), the more difficult (easier) shots become along the three dimensions. Furthermore, most players' performance seems to improve during hot streaks because they attempt more difficult shots while no significant decrease in shooting accuracy takes place. This might explain why most previous studies could not find empirical evidence for the hot-hand belief in basketball when considering in-game field goal shooting.

That article is just a start on stats that do prove streak shooting exists. The eyeball test says so too.
 
Studies on streak shooting crunch numbers but neglect the psychological components of different game settings under which certain circumstances that would validate or nullify “hot criteria” can’t be measured.

If he is a spot shooter for us, he has to start. He can't run the offense and is an average passer. I think DM is best suited at SG. That's why he needs to play SF as a starter.

Is Hood better than Ingles at starting SF?

DM is a PG for this team once Rubio is gone (and I hope that is sooner rather than later).

DM needs to play next to a switchy defender on the perimeter that's an efficient, unselfish shooter on offense. I'd rather him play as the 1 (the shortest Jazz player), but playing next to a large PG that isn't ball dominant works also.

I like George Hill. I think it would be good for everyone if he came back.
