I've noticed a dramatic decrease in Jazz players clapping their hands and/or raising them into the air while opponents are shooting free throws.

Pssh. Completely overrated.

I prefer the pretending to sneeze when the ball is almost released technique. Quick yell out the side of your mouth is good too, if you can pull it off without the ref catching on.

What I see on the court. You of all people should understand the importance of personal evaluation in game situations involving human elements. I've read you say more than once that you defer to the professionals. Why are they professionals? Generally it's more experience and less David Lockeian statistical Box Score Ballin'©.

You're a professional with regard to basketball? In what regard? When are you on an NBA court? Why doesn't your expertise translate to statistics?

For example, you could say small differences in +/- are not meaningful because it is rotation-dependent and has a large SE. Do you have a similar reason to say opponents 3 pt % is not indicative of the defense of 3s by the opponent?

While interesting, I found the stat to be a bit shallow. Percentage only tells part of the story. Volume is another question. During that 11-year span, the Jazz averaged a rank of 7th in the league in Opponent 3PA/FGA (at around 23% of opponents' field goals being 3-point attempts - league average was 20.5%. - San Antonio consistently ranked low with a ridiculous 16% average).

Wha would be really interesting is a location analysis. Leaving a shooter wide-open at the three over the key is much different from the 3 in the corner.
 
...word has it that Kevin Durant is impressed with Jimmer.....thinks he's the second best shooter in the league, second to him, of course!

I didn't even think that was allowed.

Nope, not allowed. Just like Jimmer threads are not permitted to go far, on this board, before going full-retard. Any Jimmer thread that goes multi is most definitely laced with some funny ****.
 
Well, Jimmer looked like a real rookie tonight. A few ugly looking shots and ill-advised drives and one instance where he should have shot, but hesitated and turned that chance into a TO.

He was short on a few shots, but he actually played pretty well for his first game. He had some really nice passes that didn't turn up on the assist chart because of player's missed shots. Jimmer did make a few mistakes, but his team was surprisingly productive when he was on the floor. The shots that he missed also were created very easily by him. His defense is something I still can not defend.
 
That was the biggest 6 point, 1 rebound, and 3 assist night in the history of the game.
Get your popcorn.
