Yup, also
The Blazers won the NBA championship in 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015. Blazers lost to the newly reformed Seattle SuperSonics in 2013, who were able to clone the entire 1996 Chicago Bulls teams in their primes, sadly though they only had a lifespan of 1 year. Greg Oden become a monster for the rest of his career, but admitted to steroid use at the end of his career. Regardless he still made it into the hall of fame, ironically Pete Rose is still denied the baseball hall of fame. Brett Favre come out of retirement and lead the Packers to 3 straight superbowl victories before retiring for good.

Blazers made a mistake by not telling Channing to shoot 3s as opposed to long twos. With all our stat geeks, you'd think someone would have been on that.
Not that he’ll keep it up at this pace, but the Suns are using him much more intelligently than the Blazers did.

I just wanted all those 22 footers to be 3s. Would have made him 1.5 times more valuable.
by jksnake99 on Nov 1, 2009 6:41 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I seriously doubt the coaching staff was actively telling him to shoot long 2's
If anything, they just weren’t emphasizing his need to step back and make 3’s. I’m sure with Phoenix’s style of play, they’ve done there best to tell him to shoot the long ball.

by bow4meow on Nov 1, 2009 7:35 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Oh, gotcha
Just saying that even when the shots aren’t going in, the three pointer is still more efficient when you eventually hit one, vs the long two pointer.
It’s just never a good idea to take a shot with a foot on the line. Frye seems to have fixed that now.
by Timmay! on Nov 1, 2009 7:46 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
i guess
33% from 3 is the same as 50% from 2 range… but there are alot of players whose range doesn’t quite eek beyond the arc. So an inch or two can make a real difference, especially if a guy has to consciously check whether or not he’s behind the line as opposed to shooting the shot without double checking

I’ve noticed that the game seems to be called differently for perimeter players and for bigs. He can get mauled fighting for rebounds and position and never get a call, but guards/forwards can drive from the perimeter, initiate a light touch and draw a foul. No consistency between the perimeter and the post officiating.

problem is,
roy tries to do the same thing, (albeit to limited effect). I don’t mind the game being called uniformly (definitely will make us more formidable defensively as our centers won’t foul out constantly if refs swallow their whistles instead of calling a foul whenever an opposing guard flails to the ground after losing the ball out of bounds)

I think there is a difference between Wade and Roy's game though.
It seems Roy makes an attempt to get to the rim. While he might yell to draw attention he rarely throws himself into the opposing players. He seems like he’s actually attempting a shot, rather than simply trying to draw free throws.

I haven't seen Wade at all this year, and only saw him last year during
the home blowout. So I won’t comment on his game here as I am not well informed, other than knowing he is tops in the league at getting to the line. I agree with you though that Roy’s game is different, that’s why I put that disclaimer that he does it to a “limited effect”. I love Roy’s game because he is so under control, except for when he is about to shake and bake or cross over, and then you’re just like “I can’t believe he did that”.

My arguement to that is that since players in the NBA are jumping from so far away,
they need the extra space to land. However, your point is well taken that players should have to weigh the risk of being injured with the reward that would come from throwing themselves at the basket in order to get a shot from closer in

Channing Frye's numbers are an aberration to start the season, so he'll come back down to earth.
Regarding Nate McMillan, there’s several reasons to criticize him — such as his inability to coach the pick-and-roll on other side of the ball, his lack of tactical skills on offense, avoidence of establishing a proficient low-post game with his prodigious pivotman, rigid nature, et cetera — yet, you can’t entirely blame him for Frye’s ineffectiveness last season. Besides, Frye’s huge games have come against the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves — which are two teams that make me gag — so that’s not an impressive feat in my book.
Dear Paul Allen:
Waive Patty Mills & sign Ime Udoka.
Sincerely,

yeah, I think the Blazers should have emphasized "no long twos with your foot on the line" to Frye
but to be fair, he wasn’t making any of his shots last year and was frankly all around terrible. Frye has traditionally shot well every other year, so he was due to be “on” this year. He’ll continue to be a poor rebounder and defender, but at least he’ll be somewhat of a weapon on offense now that he’s shooting 3s. It will be interesting to see what % he ends up with.

... and 5 rebounds in 36 minutes.
Phoenix’s system may be the most shooter friendly in the league, especially with Nash. Even Tim Thomas played decently on offense for them. Frye will likely put up better numbers (though probably not at the current level), but that only means is that he is a somewhat better fit there than maybe on any other team.

it was a very fast paced game. When they play us, the pace will be much slower.
Memphis is an improved team this year, but the Blazers still ought to be able to handle them.
