See I think this is part genius on Jackson's part. Why not stir up a little controversy. I guarantee you the refs will take note now and swallow their whistles a little bit more because of it. Lets see if for the series Durant averages less trips to the line than he did during the season.

it could also backfire on Jackson and maybe Kobe wont get all the calls he gets, you can look at this two different ways. Id hate to **** off a guy who just put up 30ppg in his 3rd nba season

Something tells me Jackson having the most NBA titles of any coach might carry a little more weight than Durant at this point of their respective careers. I could be wrong though.

Well Phil was kinda right. KD does go to the line 39% more than Kobe. And Kobe takes more shots and plays inside more than KD.

Kobe has never had near the ratio of FTa per FGa that KD has this year.

That pretty well does away with the "Kobe calls" argument.

Well I don't have time to add it all up, but KD shoots less FG attempts per game but he shoots more 3pt's a game. KD is more of an outside jump shooter.
Kobe is a guard that posts up most of the game on wing and in the key.

If you google "nba hot spots" It will break it down each spot on the floor where each player in the NBA takes their shots from and their % of making them.

Have you ever watched a Thunder game? It took me a whole 30 seconds to add up the number of shots taken "inside"

Durant - 918
Bryant - 886
I thought Kobe played "inside" more?

Collier11
4/16/2010, 07:35 PM
thats what I was thinking, Kobe is more or less a jump shot first type of guy these days, Durant spends alot of time driving to the hoop

Eielson
4/17/2010, 12:24 AM
I really don't see how this is spinning off to a Kobe argument. All Phil Jackson said was that Durant was getting superstar calls. Obviously Jackson thinks other superstars get favorable calls. Nothing was said about Kobe. The fact that he was brought up basically concedes the fact that Durant does get superstar calls, which would make Jackson right.

Sorry I was talking about inside the 3 pt line. KD takes a higher % of outside shots over Kobe. But if we are talking about just inside the key, it looks like there is a 2% difference between the players in favor of KD. But he has a 39% increase in ft attempts.

And I appreciate you taking 30 sec's to add it all up. I really couldn't do that from my phone.

I'm just loving the Thunder and Durant now. I am loving that Oklahoma City is being mentioned positively in news articles of NBA playoffs, against the LA Lakers, no less.

I am just hoping that my TV cable carries the game.

Edited to add: dang, the game isn't being shown here. I have about 5 channels of European soccer, one channel of golf, one of baseball and one of the NHL playoffs. As if Thais know or care anything about either baseball or hockey.

Thais know about basketball, but not about football, baseball or hockey. Basketball is played here. Okay, every high school has a soccer pitch and only the bigger schools would have outdoor basketball courts. Within Southeast Asia, Thailand still probably fields the second best national basketball team behind the Philippines.

KD officially put himself as a top level NBA player. Yes he had the scoring championship this year. But that's not why he's a next level player. In the 4th quarter he checked Kobe Bryant and held him to 1-10 in the 4th quarter. That deserves more respect than the 29 points and 19 rebounds he got tonight.

The FT shooting was about even in the first two games. I doubt LA all of the sudden got three times as dirty.

the free throw shooting difference is because the thunder go to the hoop hard while la shoots 3s and fadeaway jumpers all night. and what really kicked it in is when we started boxing out and hitting the boards and running...the lakers can NOT run with us...not even close so they foul to stop the break and put us in the bonus with 6 minutes left in the quarters. then they have artest and odom fouling for who knows why reason.
