When watching a basketball game the one thing that really stands out to me is the amount of numbers that are flung all around the place. The commentators love to hurl a barrage of numbers here there and everywhere. They seem to have an endless supply and they have numbers for everything. The last Laker game the announcer gave us numbers for the percentage of Jordan Farmar's shooting when Kobe is on the floor compared to when Kobe is off the floor. Who is keeping track of this? Who cares?
Well,not to be one left out (I'm going to do what the cool kids do!) I felt that we should bring in some friendly numbers just because I can.
The Lakers are averaging 102.6 points per game this season 6th overall in the NBA. Opponents are averaging just 96.6 points a game 9th best in the NBA.
The last game against the Wizards the Lakers grabbed 69% of the rebounds, which really shows how the length can just dominate a game. It's the highest percentage of rebounds won by a Laker team since the introduction of the 24 second shot clock.
Now it's the rapid fire round, shooting percentage 45.9%, three point percentage 34.3%, free throw percentage 77%.
The length of the starting five is thirty three and a half feet. That's bigger than King Kong who clocks in at twenty five feet.
Until next time!
