Re: Raptors fans just CAN NOT BE PLEASED

As for TJ's shot attempts.

HIs points to shots taken differential is on the low side for PG's at only +2. Most of the quality PGs have a +3 or better even if their FG% is lower. They get to the FT line more. Guys like Nash are +6 , Billups +5, Baron +4, Paul +4, Tony Parker +4, Roy, Hinrich, and Ellis +3, etc. So TJ should probably be taking fewer shots since he is not an efficient scorer.

And more notably for me, other Raptors like Anthony Parker is only getting 9.4 shots per game despite playing almost all his minutes with TJ and shooting 47.5%fg Why is he getting 3 shots less per game than TJ when he is clearly a better option?

And its not so much total shots taken that bothers many Raps fans. Its' the final minutes of games when TJ stops passing entirely and thinks he is a big time scorer that annoys us. Especially when he just does not finish well in the lane and throws up wild shots.

TJ's .403 shots per minute is also pretty similar to the .419 shots per minute MJames put up last year when he was called the biggest chucker of all time by many Raps fans. And MJ's percentages were incredible. So 'chucking' is a subjective term I guess.
