To put those numbers more into perspective if you choose at random 129 consecutive shots from Dame within any season of his career, then a bit over 1% of them will be this bad or worse.
Yup. As far as RoCo he's shooting basically a normal FG%. He's 1/3 on two pointers. That's tiny-sample normal. He's hitting 34.5% of his threes. That's normal. What is not so normal is that 91% of his shots are threes!
The Wilson doesn't seem to bothering Seth Curry's shot. Anyone besides me thinking last night about Curry at $8M vs. CJ at $31M ?
As a shooter myself, I am having hard times with some oranges. If it doesn't stick enough to my hand, I shoot like shit. I am not saying it is this, but... What ball they had on Olimpics? And btw, Wilson is much better for me. I hate playing with Spalding.
interesting so then, if I assume when you say "he's done that or worse 148 times", it's a rolling search...? what I mean is that several of those 148 times can occur in one stretch of bad shooting? Or, put another way, if Dame had a 15 game slump in the past, a couple of dozen of the 148 instances during that 15 game stretch would match this 7 game stretch...?
They had an ultra sticky rubberized ball in the Olympics that they use for all FIBA competition, the difference between the Wilson and Spalding balls is negligible by comparison. I think Dame is in a shooters slump, I do think it's possible that it could be taking longer to get out of because his focus is split between the new systems and getting out of the slump but he'll get out of it and I'm sure he'll do it soon.
Olympic hangover…. Long season is even longer and for a guy who plays as minutes as he did during last season think he could have used the rest.
Correct, it's a rolling search. So once he's had a bad stretch the next "step" is much more likely to be bad as well. So the stretches are correlated but the expected number of bad stretches is not biased.
