DirtDan2012 201 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 With JRich hurt, we will probably see more Von and JJ will start. Also, Harper might make an appearance. Harper needs to play some.... We have a shortened and condensed season... Give the Kid some burn with the normal rotation guys.... That's how most teams develop players..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtDan2012 201 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Hedo quietly had an excellent 20 point, 9 assist game tonight. I like his play this year, just think he is going to wear down this season like he did last year. I wouldn't be agaisnt Stan resting him on certain nights. Hedo was quietly the other excellent player tonight... JJ was big in the 1st half, but did nothing in the 2nd half... Ryan was actually decent too, but saw very limited action... Most likely because his defense was not up to par.... But in his defense Dwight's defense on Lee was less then desirable as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capo d'Orlando 85 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Didn't get a chance to watch Inside the NBA afterwards, but I hope (I know it didn't happen) that Shaq took back his bullcrap about Bynum being the best big man in the league. I guarantee you that Bynum will never have a 40-20 and probably not even a 30-20 in his career. I'm glad Charles called out Chris Webber before the game for such a ridiculous notion. Bynum's good, but better than Dwight? Really? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KandiKane 136 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Why are people saying this garbage? If Dwight could hit a free through THEY WOULDN'T HAVE FOULED HIM 39 TIMES. Anyone realize they were leading by 13 when they started hack a Howard? We were clearly the more tired team early and they were running us off the court. If MJ didn't slow the game to a halt with that terrible strategy we probably don't win. True. Terrible basketball to watch. Hope the NBA changes the rule to follow international suit and prevent this garbage happening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jec 427 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Make free throws. It will stop then. He made a lot of free throws and scored like 45 points. That's a lot more points than he usually scores. You think it will stop now? Maybe it should stop now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it should stop now. Yeah, I am sure Dwight's league leading .459 FT shooting is making teams cringe at the idea of sending him to the free throw line. Or perhaps his .539 FT shooting last night will do it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 Shooting 54% from the free throw line makes a Hack-A-Shaq completely useless as an offensive tactic, unless the team you're playing is an all-time great offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted January 13, 2012 General DOM whats a good number for points per possession? Year to year, the league average tends to fall around 1.07, with that number dropping to the 1.03 to 1.05 range when you eliminate fast breaks. So shooting 2 FTAs per possession and making them at a 51.5% to 52.5% clip will roughly equal an average NBA half-court offense. Making them at 60%(roughly Dwight's career average) will put you at 1.2, which is better than any team in NBA history has managed, even without removing fast breaks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
