I just checked the Warriors stats and found out who's to blame for chucking 3-balls and poor shooting. I think 42% FG and 33% 3-pt shooting is very good for NBA. We live and die by the 3-ball, so who's responsible < 33%: Name 3PM-A 3p% Jason Richardson 141-354 .398 Derek Fisher 82-207 .396 Baron Davis 97-313 .310 <===== our royal chucker Troy Murphy 50-152 .329 <===== very good as he's very close Mike Dunleavy 39-168 .232 <===== he shouldn't be shooting 3s at all! Mickael Pietrus 45-133 .338 Ike Diogu 0-0 .000 Monta Ellis 11-37 .297 <===== surprise! Adonal Foyle 0-0 .000 Andris Biedrins 0-0 .000 Zarko Cabarkapa 4-13 .308 <===== Calbert Cheaney 0-5 .000 Chris Taft 0-0 .000 Who sucks in shooting, < 42%. Top 100 in NBA is 42% or greater. Name FGM-A FG% Jason Richardson 503-1107 .454 Derek Fisher 249-606 .411 <==== close, so still very good Baron Davis 324-836 .388 <==== sucks for number of shots attempted! Troy Murphy 286-667 .429 Mike Dunleavy 224-564 .397 <==== not good for number of shots attempted Mickael Pietrus 130-316 .411 <==== close, so still very good Ike Diogu 110-209 .526 Monta Ellis 57-140 .407 <==== not too good Adonal Foyle 101-206 .490 <==== highlighted because he fumbles the ball before he even attempts his shot! Andris Biedrins 89-132 .674 Zarko Cabarkapa 52-138 .377 <==== he needs to shoot closer in Calbert Cheaney 29-75 .387 <==== he's gone after season Chris Taft 23-38 .605
I hope when we are mathematically eliminated from the playoff hunt that we play all of our young guys who have hardly recieved any playing time like Ellis, Zarko, Taft, Diogu etc...
It's definitely hard to hit those shots when guys miss the easier ones at the basket. I've seen us blow some easy layups too. Also not having an inside game causes some real trouble with our outside game.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dtpxcore:</div><div class="quote_post">the selection of the shots maybe?</div> Definitely with Baron. Same with Fish. If Fish took better shots or if the Warriors spread the floor more so he could catch and shoot, then Fish should shoot a better percentage. Still, the guy isn't a great PG and he's not much of a leader. Dun is just plain sucking. He has regressed in his shooting.
