booyaa87 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Just looking at the season stats for the first 8 games an noticed something interesting.... The players from North America are shooting 51.5% (141 for 274)from the field The players from the Southern Hemisphere are shooting 33.1% (41 for 124)from the field The players from North America are shooting 53.7% (29 for 54)from 3 pt range The players from the Southern Hemisphere are shooting 26.6% (17 for 64)3 pt range Small sample size, so it doesn't really mean anything, but quite a difference that we would have never guessed before the season started.

TheA_Bomb Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 That is interesting information but I too was thrown off by the thread title. I was envisioning it being a little more like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have to understand is that all their shooting practice prior to coming here was virtually standing upside down compared to their present location. I expect them to improve as they adjust to this hemisphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect them to improve as they adjust to this hemisphere. It is all physics, and the Coriolis effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
