hackascrub doesnt even work.. 50%ft shooting = 50% fgs

[ralph_i_el]

Op only specified fg% which is correct it does equal 50fg% the others that said it equals 25% failed 8th grade math

All that proves is that we have a handful of posters even less intelligent than Kenneth

Anyone have the average points per possession for the league and for all the playoffs teams?

[chips93]

so the only way to overcome a hackashaq strategy you impliment yourself on the other team is to get great looks at three pointers every single time up the floor?

no, just keep getting the average ones you always get

... which is good enough to win/sustain a lead


1 out of 2 from a shaq/deandre/howard/wilt each time up the is the same as making a field goal 1 out of every 2 times up the floor



Who thought of this dumb strategy

And guess what.....1 out of 2 free throws is 100 points per 100 possessions....which is an anemic offensive output. That's 50% TS.

If you take notice of the people that use this strategy then you realize they're older teams playing younger teams. The Spurs and Mavs did it for rest I believe. Then Josh Smith can be so bad that it works, plus it seems like pressure situations can make certain players rise to the occasion and other fall flat on their face. If you know Josh Smith shoots such and such free throw percentage and is bothered by the pressure of the game then you know if you're fouling him that it draws attention to him and the pressure to make those free throws will cause him to miss more likely than not. Sure, if he's fouled in the 1st quarter, then he's more likely to make them. The 3rd and 4th might be different though.
