NBA Hotspots - Featuring Steve Blake and other dead-eye shooters

It's interesting, now that there's enough data to go with, to see what Blazers have been hot and cold and from where.

Take, for instance, Steve Blake. The guy has been on fire from the field and if he'd just avoid getting caught on either baseline his percentages would be out of this world. That, and that odd spot on the three-point line. Also, he shoots way better on the road than at home. That's really odd.

Another interesting thing is that the popular opinion that Rudy Fernandez has no mid-range game is true. He also seems to be better the closer he gets to the baseline.

Don't look at Channing Frye's shot chart if you just ate.

Greg Oden should never post up on the right block. Ever.

Travis Outlaw is cold from the same spot that Steve Blake is. Other than that, his long ball percentages are downright amazing. That freethrow line pull-up J that we all "love" so much? Not so amazing. Play up on him and make him drive, and you reduce his effectiveness.

I think it's hilarious how Joel Przybilla has only taken two shots from outside the paint. And missed them both. This apparently doesn't take into account the full-court bomb he took a while back, rightly so. But 80% from inside the key....

Sergio Rodriguez is a mixed bag. We all know that. He seems to have more success from the spot Blake and Outlaw can't hit from, and mostly keeps the defender honest from everywhere else.

LaMarcus Aldridge has some decent numbers from everywhere. If you're the opposing team you let him shoot anywhere inside the three-point line at your own risk.

And last, but certainly not least, Brandon Roy doesn't seem to have a weak spot either, especially at home. It's good when your top two scorers can score from everywhere.

Why did they choose red as the "good" color?

Ike is two for nine under the basket. Is he wearing lead shoes?

i think its because they are doing hot and cold

And I wonder why Greg’s is so bad from the right block. I was thinking its because he goes to the middle with his lefty jumper, but that would record his shot as coming from the middle of the lane. Really really interesting chart though.

Jaws were hitting the floor as Greg repeatedly attempted to tear the rim off the backboard...

Oden rarely spins to his right

when on the left block. When on the right block he spins left a lot, and you’ve seen the awful result—balls missing entirely, hitting the side of the board, getting blocked or stripped. Definitely something to work on.
