I could 100% see a Blazers upset tho, not likely but wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world, cp3 prob just not going out like that in the first round though (he prefers round 2)

oh idk then. bkref doesn't have anything requiring player tracking data
― ciderpress, Friday, 15 April 2016 21:20 (eight years ago) link
they're def on nba.com/stats though their website is a nightmare. i think you have to go to the "shooting" tab or something iirc
― k3vin k., Friday, 15 April 2016 21:25 (eight years ago) link
i went to the shooting tab!

its a shame that nba site isnt a better experience. the info is there! just so hard to get around
― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Friday, 15 April 2016 21:29 (eight years ago) link
anyway i was right defend the layup not steph the best he shot from three in any sort of guarding situation was 49% aka 1.5 pps which is less than 2, which is not even mentioning the fact that in the video they use to illustrate this point the defenders dont even have to make that choice cause they have a 4-3 advantage, im extremely upset

― lag∞n, Friday, 15 April 2016 21:32 (eight years ago) link
also imo seeing as every team is an underdog to gs even if steph and the layup were roughly equal u wld want to roll w the variance of the three
― lag∞n, Friday, 15 April 2016 21:34 (eight years ago) link
yeah that was just really poor defense/communication nothing more
― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Friday, 15 April 2016 21:34 (eight years ago) link
shdve found a 2-1 gs break for the video at least but still wldve been VERY WRONG

adams also has a pretty fundamental post repertoire tho he only gets to try it out every second game
