Jazz VS Dallas Game Thread - WE WON!!!!!!

[Miggs]

Side note* Why is Paul Giamatti doing commercials?

He prob gets paid good money (1-5M?) for doing work that may have taken him less than an hour.

A lot of stars do them. Clooney, Damon, Hamm...

I think we were talking about shooting the ball quickly. Something players in real life nba games do and guys in the three point competition do.

The discussion started with nba players shoot 70% when wide open in practice.

Fair enough.

Plus it's completely different grabbing a ball and shooting from a rack than catch and shoot but this doesn't even matter. Jazz give up one of the worst (or best for the team) percentages from 3. Carlisle is exploiting it.

I would shoot better grabbing a ball from a rack (since it's not moving and I don't even have to catch it) than a ball being passed to me (sometimes coming fast, sometimes slow. Sometimes high, sometimes low)

We also had a hard time getting going in the first. We couldn't even move without refs calling a foul. Got in the bonus early.

That's fine. I was discussing whether players easily shoot 70% from three when they are open... which is what the discussion was about.

If the argument was whether or not guys shoot 52.9% from three when open then I wouldn't have got into the discussion

I still stand by my statement that in practice, yes, they hit about 70-75% of their threes, when they shoot one, the ball boy passes another, and so forth...totally uncontested. That's all I was saying. Maybe that's just for the top half of the league in shooters and not the average of all but still, I think a ton of guys can do that.

Why is Booker playing over Lyles? I can only see the box score right now but what the heck?

I agree with you there

I like where we are at. 7 down, and Favs, Hayward and Hood haven't started yet. So we gots this.

Considering these guys put up hundreds of shots a day from passes and not racks, they probably aren't the same way

I don't think most players would feel this way. They're used to catching a ball coming at them from years of in-game situations. I'm not sure how often they really shoot from a rack, if ever.

Exactly what I was saying as well.
