Quote from: romey on February 04, 2025, 06:44:57 PMOk. So never take a two point shot. Cuz math.
I stated earlier; No one seems to be willing to admit, once or twice a game, a two may be better than a three.
A guy cuts through traffic, his defender gets screened it falls down. Guy is wide open at the free throw line. Kick it back out because season stats say "no". Never mind in THAT situation that may be the best shot. I'm out.
This is one reason I don't post.

I feel like you didn't read my post.  Don't take "Far 2s", take "Close 2s". 

Post more.  Or don't...

There were two occasions last night when Joplin received a pass 2-3 feet inside the FT line and was open. I thought he could have risen and shot on both occasions, especially given that we weren't exactly lighting it up from deep (or from anywhere else on the court).

But those were the only two times I thought even remotely that we could have or should have taken a shot other than a 3 or something inside.

That is a shot within the offensive scheme, was mind boggling to me why he didn't take them.

To me, a mid-range shot is preferable to a wild drive to the basket that has minimal chance of success. How many times per game do we drive wildly and off balance and throw up a weak shot that bounces off the backboard or gets blocked?  Ten?  In that scenario, wouldn't a floater or mid-range jumper be preferable to the out of control drive? 

I'd rather have a shot at a few buckets that way than multiple out of control drives that basically count as a turnover and potentially a run out for the other team.

Marquette is way better at the rim from the ppp perspective than a mid range shot.

Well I'm not going to go back and watch again to count. Per the box score, St. John's had 5 blocks (going to assume those were at the rim) and I don't think it's unreasonable to guess that we had 5 bad/out of control drives during the course of the game.

We had a few "out of control drives" that resulted in fouls being called on St. John's and FTs for our heroes.

So I went to rewatch the game.  ON OUR VERY FIRST POSSESSION Chase drove and tried to avoid contact and got his weak ass layup attempt swatted, which led to a runout for St. John's (who didn't score).

Are we now really questioning that we force a lot of drives that turn into difficult, low-probability-for-success layups? That seems to be a topic after most games, usually leading to discussions about how the refs screwed us yet again.   

I'm fine with disagreeing that a floater or pull up jumper is a better attempt than these layup attempts, and the stats bear that out, but let's not just pretend that these attempts don't exist. 

Edit:  about four possessions later Stevie had a drive against Ejiofor that resulted in  layup that just barely missed as he launched it over the top of the backboard.  So our first 5 or 6 possessions had two layups (yay) that had no chance to go in (oops).

These are not good shot attempts and basically were turnovers even though they are the kind of shot we supposedly want.  I'm going to have to revise my estimate of ten upwards based on this review.

Write a letter to Shaka then, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you. You can complain about it as much as you want, the offensive philosophy isn't changing as long as Shaka is here.
