    Default Wade takes shot at Chuckbe, Brickbrook?

    Quote of the Night

    "I hate that I really value efficiency. Because I look around the league sometimes and I see a guy shooting 41, 42 percent from the field and I'm like, 'Wow, they're just hoisting up shots and they don't care.' I guess that's that freedom, but I don't have that mindset. I want to be as efficient as possible."
    Dwyane Wade, on valuing NBA titles over scoring titles.

    Kobe is a career .454 shooter from the field, and Westbrook is miles ahead of Wade as a player right now. He's right though, all NBA players should pull up for a jump shot with 3 seconds left on the shotclock and then after being challenged kick it out to Battier/Chalmers/Allen/etc for a contested 3 30 feet away from the basket, just so they don't have to mess up their "FG %". Even though that kills the flow of their offense, it's all about dat field goal percentage baby.

    Nobody in the league, and i mean nobody does that more than Wade.

    Oh and the "Chuckbe" Kobe has been far more efficient than Wade in their heads up battles throughout their careers.

    Kobe and wade are actually pretty close in shooting efficiency this season.

    Wade's eFG% is .527 and Kobe's is .504. Wade is more efficient, but its not like Kobe is drastically less efficient.

    I might be wrong - but if you take into account free throws and 3 pointers - and Bryant is as efficient as Wade.

    The emphasis placed on efficiency is...sad. The skewed statistics sometimes used to measure it are worse.i

    That's why you should use eFG%. It's mathematically flawless. It accounts for the difference between 2 point and 3 point efficiency unlike FG% but it doesn't skew it with FT% like TS%.

    Did you seriously just post that?

    I guess Chalmers, Allen and Battier are great contested 3 point shooters, since they all shoot at a 40%+ clip from 3 point land. That really does seem to be killing the flow of their offense...

    Mathematically. In reality, it doesn't tell us much. For example, if Wade was a better outside shooter, he would most likely take 2-3 more shots per game (end of shotclock, end of quarter, etc.). That would lower his eFG%, despite the fact that he would be a better shooter.

    If you are willing to take shots that have little chance of going in but the team needs someone taking them, your stats will suffer. There is a reason Tyson Chandler is the most efficient scorer in the league.
