You act as though making the frontend of one & ones with a chance for a bonus FT makes no/little difference.
Fact is when shooting 64% as a team you need every opportunity you can get to make up for it. Opposing coaches know this too and it was one reason they hacked us so much in the lane and sent us to the line.
8 pts per game is what you said. There is no way raising our FT% to an average or even above average % means 8 more pts per game.
Making a frontend here or there would make little difference in out PPG. You've got a point on the bad FT shooting, but you're doing terribly at trying to make it.
No way to quantify with 100% certainty but 8 pts. per game is not an unreasonable number.

Quote:Just off the top of my head, and I could be wrong but making 8 more FTs per game would not have been totally out of the question if you include making frontends of one & ones (which we missed a bunch of) and getting a chance at the bonus.
The same guys making the same tired arguments; purely because they hate Pastner. They are so in love with putting Pastner down, that they will say anything without putting any kind of thought into it.
Assume we miss two less front ends per game...
34 games (actual)
516 made free throws (actual)
801 free throw attempts (actual)
- Add 69 free throws to the total to account for the missed front ends
- Add 272 made free throws needed for more 8 points per game (34X8)
788 free throws made (adjusted)
869 free throw attempts (adjusted)
90.7% free throw percentage needed in order to score 8 more points per game.
I have to admit that between them; BealeStreetTiger and 450Bench did make one accurate statement. BealeStreetTiger said...

Sorry for being a super big meanie and a bad insulter. 8 more points per game is a perfectly reasonable and well thought argument.
