2016 NBA All Star Weekend Is Officially a Wrap!

[silverbackhoney]

Notice Clippers, Rockets, Heat, and Pistons fans are upset about the rule.

Yet KAT is shooting 85% from the FT line this year.

So there is obviously LARGE centers who can shoot FTs.

If you or your team don't liket that a few of your players are getting picked on because they can't shoot then don't draft them.

Were there ever any numbers showing that it's a league wide problem and not just 3 guys swallowing up the whole pie chart?

No list of players, but:

@kpelton I currently have 286 intentional fouls before the last two minutes. Were 52 before last year's All-Star break.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Thanks P. I've seen that number but it doesn't help clarify who's getting fouled. All I've seen is deandre accounting for 34% of that, dwight and Drummond combining for 35% and like 10 (?) other guys splitting the rest of the pie with whiteside taking a big chunk of that. It's happening more often but apparently to the same 3 guys, with transvestite jordan taking the lion's share of it

There also is a list. I believe JD posted it previously in the NBA thread. It's like 10-12 guys who have been intentionally hacked off the ball more than once.

 

[hot route]

Gordon legit cleared the mascot, too.

wasn't like Nate when he pushed off Dwight's shoulders

Dude sat in orbit and in space.  He had the mascot twirling too!!  Goodness.

Who's upset? Much as I don't like watching it, I've never faulted a team for intentionally fouling DJ. The rule currently allows it, so it is what it is. I've long ago accepted it's going to happen. Frankly, aside from the awful aesthetics of it, it doesn't really bother me because, at the end of the day, in the vast majority of cases, the Clippers don't win or lose because of how the hack-a-DJ strategy plays out in a given game.

My earlier comment is more about the general idea that the hack-a strategy is as simple to solve as guys "just making their free throws." There are a few guys in this league who could shoot FTs 8 hours a day, every day and still not shoot 50 percent in games.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Just some quick basic algebra. If it's 12 guys total that comes out to 9 guys outside the big 3 getting hacked an average of 9 times each over 52 games. Whereas deandre has been hacked about 97 times. And in reality it's less than 9 times each because whiteside takes up more than the other 8 guys, just don't know how many. Doesn't really strike me as a league wide epidemic but whatever

CP3 protects DJ from being intentionally fouled.

Can you pull up posts where this was actually said (srs)

Also, didn't Kevin Hart actually win that 3 point contest, or maybe even tie? I missed it the first time and had to re-watch it

 

[nick.]

Hart tied Draymond but no one expected it to be close so the trophy/ribbon thing was weird

Save the Drummond, save the world

 

[pmatic]

Yep, tied it with 12.

The hell is "cablevision" . Chicago is rougher than I imagined

 

[sea manup]

 

It really seems impossible to shoot a basketball this well man

this is nothing special in terms of the 3pt contest though

Craig hodges still goat 3 point contest shooter

Cablevison's in the tri state area

it's James Dolan's company

 

[pjdabullsfan]

James White and Jamario Moon.




What could have been. 

 I ain't hear that name in a while

A team really should do that at least once just to troll. A 4 man wedge in front of the bad FT shooter like a kick return.

 

[pmatic]

Upon second review, Aaron Gordon should have loss based on his Classic Man intro.
