People are morons

Why does nobody listen to The 'Bright' One? In a previous post, I pointed out a how the best basketball players in the NBA are all at the top 30 list of free throw attempts per game. The correlation between being good at basketball and getting to the free throw line is unfathomably high.

So i'm sitting in my room at 230 in the morning, studying for a crazy biochem exam, watching the Bulls exhibition game on tivo. The announcers bring up a Text Question to the audience. "What stat do you think will be the key for the Bulls in the 1st half?" Simple enough qustion. There is no right or wrong response. You can say, number of times Joakim Noah gets busted for pot, and that would be a fair response. However, the people making the multiple choice list of answers need to include the most relevant stat, and not just the most obvious ones. It's like voting for the MVP based on wins or RBIs. The 4 answer choices provided are FG shooting(yes putting that round thing into the round whole is important), 3-Pt shooting(yes putting that round thing into the round whole from really far away is important), Rebounding(Will be important when you cant put that round thing into that round whole), Steal(never heard of anyone winning a championship because of steals.

The fact that they didnt include FTA is disturbing to me. Yes, it's not flashy, but it's free points. With Ben Gordon gone, i have no clue who will be shooting free throws for us. Derrek Rose only averaged 4.5 last year and no one else has play-making ability. Just another reason the Bulls will probably suck this year. Cant wait for 2010. If Reinsdorf has enough money to buy the Phoenix Coyotes, he has enough money to buy Wade and Amare
