    Russell Westbrook's Itchy Trigger Finger

    The Real Reasons Why Kevin Durant Isn't Getting The Ball Late

    Good reads right there. Specifically the second one (might have to let it load up for a second. I got an error at first but it ended up showing anyways).

Rose is shooting like .2% better from 2 point range and Westbrook is shooting almost 10% better from 3 point range or something like that. That doesn't make any sense.

      Edit: I was right about the .2%, but Westbrook is only shooting 7% better from 3 point range. Still means that Westbrook should definitely have a higher eFG% though.

      Edit 2: I just looked up the formula for eFG. I don't get how cutting the number of 3 pointers in half somehow makes 3 pointers worth more...
      The formula takes in how many you make not the 3 point percentage. Rose has made 6 more three pointers than Westbrook. That is what puts his eFG% higher. The formula is (FG+0.5x3P)/FGA.

        Nice find! Me and couple other posters noticed this last night, I dont know why Durant just stands out there looking lost.

            I love it. It's a basketball heaven for basketball nerds like myself.

              Those are very good reads...

                I guess I just think that eFG% is a dumb stat then. The guy shoots .02% worse overall and shoots 7% better from 3 point range and eFG which is supposed to favor 3 pointers shows that Rose's eFG is higher. That makes no sense.

                  That second article definitely was a good & interesting read. I agree with just about all points the writer makes. We were even commenting on it late in the game, he kept standing around too much.

                            Really? lol Everyone I've talked to thinks he played like crap. I thought it was a good game. Not "impressive", but not a bad game like a lot of people have been saying either. Just a good bounce back game for him.

                              Nope. Matter of fact I'll take it a step further and say that Westbrook almost blew the game for them.

                                the 2nd article from the playbook site is spot on.
                                this is what frustrated the hell out of me watching the game.
