coachx Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Wow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A33QLDZV-Ms] Join the HTML Trial on YouTube for better quality video He is good for a highlight. Great dunk. He needed that one to get his FG % above 30 % for the game. Edited January 19, 2013 by coachx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHawks89 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 On one of the side videos, I saw where he did a windmill dunk against Toronto - sounded like a gun shot went off. I rather him try crazy dunks than take 3's, but I think that between the legs dunk against Miami years ago put an end to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is to make the shot. Are you trying to be a winner or get on Sportscenter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHawks89 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Huh? I think you're taking what I said out of context.. as usual. Anyways, team played well as a whole, we just have to stop letting these guards blow by our guards and letting them get in the paint so easily.

Guest Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I think Lou is an important part of our team but maybe in his absence Jenkins will get more burn..hope uncle Lou is ok though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHawks89 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Also, I've liked what I've seen from the rooks this season. Mike Scott has been looking pretty good with the playing time he has received lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB1 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Typical Smith.....makes a nice dunk, but takes a few god awful 3's just before. Like I said, he hurts us more than he helps us...especially in 4th quarters of games. If Ferry doesn't trade him, this is what we will see in the playoffs this year.

SmooveTheFuture Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Idk now hard is it for smith to stay inside and mid range. He can be great in the paint he missed about 3-4 shots I the paint that were in and out. He should not be shooting 3s I wish he could get that.

TheNorthCydeRises Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Idk now hard is it for smith to stay inside and mid range. He can be great in the paint he missed about 3-4 shots I the paint that were in and out. He should not be shooting 3s I wish he could get that. He's not a great shooter in the paint either. These are his shots from 3 - 9 feet. Shots that are not at the rim http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/plus/shooting.cgi?player_id=smithjo03&year_id=2013&shot_distance=3-10 He only makes 34.4% of his shots from that range. That's a tough range, because most shots in this range are either floaters, or contested post up plays. Here's something to judge Josh Smith's offensive game on. Let's look at what the average PF who plays at least 30 min/game will shoot from the various ranges . . . and compare that to what Josh shoots. So this comparison is basically what the starting PFs in this league shoot. AT RIM PF average: 67.1%Smith avg: 75.4% 3 - 9 FEET PF average: 42.4%Smith avg: 34.4% 10 - 15 FEET PF average: 42.5%Smith avg: 20.6% 16 - 23 FEET PF average: 39.7%Smith avg: 26.7% 3 POINT PF average: 33.7% ( eFG% = 50.5% )Smith avg: 31.2% ( eFG% = 46.8% ) So outside of finishing at the rim, he does everything offensively below what the average starting PF is shooting. Even if you change the criteria to what the average SF who plays 30+ minutes a game shoots, he'd still be below the average production in every area except shots at the rim. So what happens if Smith starts to lose some of his athletic ability in 2 - 3 years? What shot or offensive move is he going to rely on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
