The asteroid did nothing to deserve that.

Also if the events in the movies happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, just think about how long ago they really must have happened if you factor how much we would have aged while we waited for them to transport the films to us from way over there. And some of them, like the...

I feel like I need to come out of my message board retirement to comment on how much I enjoyed this Bohannon thread's hard detour into the field of astrophysics.

Don Nelson.

Anyone with any PR sense would say publicly that he is comfortable in his role, regardless of how dissatisfied he might be privately. Would you honestly expect him to say, "Yeah, I think I deserve to start and I don't know why Coach doesn't understand that" or "Most of us are happy in our roles...

I take that to mean your opinion is that Woodbury plays better defense than Gabe in every single game? Let me guess, you're about 7'1" and you're from the Sioux City area.

It looks very awkward, but I'll grant him this: he does win a lot of tips.

There's actually a pretty good analysis below of where rebounds go based on where the shot was taken, and it also calculates the offensive rebound percentages from certain places. Essentially, offensive rebounds are most frequent from close range shots, as one would expect, but the three-pointer...

Gesell actually seems to be pretty decent from midrange. It's those blocked shots that bring his 2PT% down. But I agree, the midrange is a terrible shot to take early in the possession. What really bugs me is when a shooter who normally take threes passes up an unguarded three, then takes a step...

The problem is that when Woodbury hedges, it's particularly risky because his only way of recovering is to either deny the pass or to make it back to the paint in time to body up against his man, because he can't block shots. Gabe can afford to cheat a little more because he is not only faster...

The only thing I have seen Woodbury do adequately on defense is defend one-on-one in the low post. He comes out to double-team at the three-point arc way too often for somebody with his foot speed, and thus leaves the hoop undefended or leaves a forward there to guard the hoop, which usually...

I have never seen a game where Woodbury played better defense than Gabe, regardless of the level of competition.

Breaking my lengthy message board silence to post this... Points: Gabe 8.4, Woody 7.8 Rebounds: Gabe 5.8, Woody 5.8 Assists: Gabe 0.3, Woody 0.6 Steals: Gabe 0.3, Woody 0.4 Blocks: Gabe 2.3, Woody 0.4 Turnovers: Gabe 1.0, Woody 1.7 FG%: Gabe 58.5%, Woody 48.1% FT%: Gabe 80.6%, Woody...

Mine would be: Gesell Oglesby Uthoff White Olaseni I simply cannot understand why Olaseni doesn't start. He beats Woodbury in almost every conceivable category. http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/compare?p2=adam-woodbury&p1=abodunrin-gabriel-olaseni

This guy reviewed your math and it checks out.
