3-5 too many drives a game?  That would be between 69 and 115 bad drives this year. Seriously? Does he get a shot up on these drives? Turnovers? Look JGood sometimes forces things but throwing out crazy numbers that just isn't correct feeds into the false belief some on here have (apparently you're one of them) that he's just completely out of control. 

He's had 66 t/o's on the year and made 125/252 from 2 point range. 127 misses plus 66 to/s 193 possible drives that missed. That's of course assuming all his missed 2 point shots are drives. More realistic though probably still high, lets say in actuality half of his missed 2 point shots and t/o's are from drives, that's only 97. And you think he's had 66-115 bad drives? 

This exaggeration of JGood's out of control play drives me nuts

JGood is shooting about 50% around the rim.  He’s such a beast rebounding that he probably gets 3-4 put backs and/or tip ins per game that increase his percentage.  His percentage drops quite a lot if you take away those tip ins and put backs (considering his proximity to the basket).  He may shoot 3/10 but tip in 4 or 5 and end up with a line of 7 or 8/15 which looks a lot better on paper.

Some of his misses are because of his athleticism and determination that allow him to get a hand on the ball that most can’t, but maybe isn’t in the best position to make a shot so this isn’t meant to be negative, just a observation.  Give him credit.  If he was shooting FT’s at 65-70% those out of position shots could still yield points on fouls, but too many times they result in a empty trip.  For a team that struggles to score, it would be nice to see a little better selection.

We are a physical team and fun to watch but also very frustrating to watch.  How many times have we seen 3 offensive rebounds that result in     a foul on us, a turnover, a defensive foul where we go to the line and fail..etc.  Rebounding is a great thing when you’re on the right side of the stat sheet but it would be nice to see some better shot selection that may result in a positive outcome.

You don't need to explain JGood's game to me.
