Large difference between TS and EFG usually predicts playoffs drop off. I think it was Jason from Hoops Tonight who said this.
TS is garbage stat
Non-ethical buckets. May contain allergens.
That's what happens when you're foul baiting damn near every other play. Only more prolific foul baiter is probably Butler who literally plays for the foul.
A big reason for his low FG% is because most of his shots are threes. He’s attempting 16.3 FG per game and 8.7 of those are threes. He’s also shooting a career worst 31% from three right now which obviously will improve as the season goes on.
why obvious?
So what you're saying is that the reason his FG% is so low is because he's not shooting well.
That’s what I am saying clearly. Did you read the first two sentences of my comment? I wasn’t trying to be captain obvious. His FG% has been lower his entire career because most of his attemps are threes. It’s just more extreme because he’s having a bad stretch from three this year.
Foul merchant clap clap clapclapclap
He’s just kind of driving wildly to the rim and just rewarding him for it. A good deal of time it’s a foul but it’s also so frustrating to see minimum contact punished because he’s just smaller.
He’s shooting like this and they’re winning, if he gets back to normal it could be fun times
Least ethical FT merchant
that's why that stat is garbage.
Bro is having a bad year.
This Lillard cat might be pretty decent!
