When will Jefferson have breakout season?

Lol. So instead of taking what I have to say in a general sense and responding normally, you're just gonna teach me how to round properly?

As a poster you have always been one of my favourites, since you tend to show no bias in your solid assessments of whatever the discussion is about. Not sure what your deal is, here. A respectable poster would have just pointed out "hey, 17.6 is .11 (lol) closer to 18 than 17, hence you must round up" and then gone on to further make whatever rebuttal they had in mind. Instead, you just sidetrack yourself and spend three posts talking about me baaarely fibbing one stat (which still serves my point regardless) and make yourself seem like an asshat in the process.

Lol, let me help.

Just to illustrate my point better:

Player 1 shoots 17.0 field goals per game, making 8.9 on average.

Player 2 shoots 17.9 field goals per game, making 8.0 on average.

By this stupid convention you've applied, both shoot 8 - 17 on average. We can just "whatever" the fact that Player 1's field goal percentage is .524 and Player 2's field goal percentage is .447. These differences are negligible, right?

Alright wise guys;

So, by saying "17", that would make every number from 17-17.49 fall under the same criteria, correct?

8.8/17.6 = .500

8.8/17.49 = .503

Sorry, i was 3 tenths of a percent off of what would be deemed appropriately as "17". Get off my case you hacks, lol.

Hell, if you wanna include 17 flat (which most would've written as 17.0 but just for the sake of comparison)

8.8/17 = .518, 1.8 percent off at the absolute most.

The differences are insanity, right?
 
Or you can just use the ****ing actual number and not "whatever" your way through stuff. Or you can use conservative numbers which would prove your point better.

This is stupid.

how about you guys simply call me out for it once, then continue to argue whatever contribution you had instead of sidetracking it and using completely boneheaded examples that made me seem like I was butchering data, when really I was .3-1.8 percent off?

"This is stupid."

You do realize my last 4 posts in this thread have been directed at Ben10, not you, right?

And no, in this case, even if Big Al had shot 17.49 times per game in the season in question, it wouldn't be appropriate to say he averaged 21+ points on 17 field goal attempts. Clearly, the statement implies that Big Al averaged 21 points or more on 17 or less field goal attempts per game. 17.49 is not equal to or less than 17. Had you accidentally rounded in such a way that didn't obviously make Big Al look better than he actually is, I almost certainly would have let your error slide. Hell, I corrected you half-jokingly, and only made repeated posts after that dude Ben 10, apparently vying for the title of most willfully ignorant half-wit on jazzfanz, decided to defend you and your obvious mistake.

I have no problem having a discussion in good faith with people, but if others are going to distort facts in a self-serving way, as you did, I'm going to point it out. Deal with it.

Meh, if you say you're gonna throw me on ignore, and then call my data incorrect (even though it was 1 percent off) then obviously theres gonna be a rebuttal from my end. My problem isn't that you pointed it out, (in fact even after you pointed out my point still holds) its just that you took it a tad too seriously. Tell me once, I'm not retarded. Don't dedicate the next 5 posts about it as if you're on some "accuracy-crusade"; if you really want to hand it to Ben10 do it over PMs.
Lets just kill this off now.
 
One gripe I would like to point out, simply because I can and I find this annoying....

Look. I love that the Turks have come to share in the collective good and excitment that Kanter brings to this board and the Jazz. But ****, I'm tired of listening to the obvious jabs at our existing bigs in an attempt to somehow make room for Kanter. Like we should scrap all of our bigmen and start Kanter. Please mother*******. Kanter is good, and will perhaps be really good, but the kid needs to pay his dues and prove himself. Until then, Al and Sal aren't going anywhere. And sure as **** Kanter is not taking one of their spots until he shows he can play in the NBA. I'm excited about Kanter, but this whole "Big Al sucks, make room for Kanter" bull**** has got to stop. It's stupid and annoying as ****.

This, for the most part.

Not all 20 and 10 seasons are created equal. If you get your 20 inefficiently, while playing pathetic defense and team ball, you probably aren't helping your team win.

We're supposed to be talking about Jefferson in this thread, not Boozer ;-)
