Thanks for the clarification.

Sometimes you remind me of the Agent Putterman character in Telefon.

Quote:
Barbara (Lee Remick), who proves to be a double agent, as well as accepting help from computer expert Dorothy Putterman (Tyne Daly). Solid evidence that at the height of his box-office appeal Bronson could have gotten a seed catalog made into a big-budget movie, the film likely suffered from its tumultous production history, showing little of Siegel's signature style. On the bright side, Daly scores as a techie,
This movie is only worth watching if you are very big fan of Lee Remick, Charles Bronson and/or Tyne Daly. I happen to like all three. Though I could see where feminists would have a big problem with the movie.

Re: Meaningless stats??

Can we find out if Ronald Dupree has the most number of games in a business suit without being injured playing for the same team...first in the 04-05 season for the Pistons and then in 06-07 and then 07

Speaking of which, Yi Jianlian gives him a run for his money as a men's fashion model.

Well, Yi plays, too.

Re: Meaningless stats??

Amir also ranks second in Pistons history in field goal percentage among players with more than 20 games played, at .554 - just behind Oliver Miller's .555.

Now that is definitely male exploitation.

How many photos on the net due you find of women in a black suit with full length pants holding a basketball while seating in a chair?

Miller played in 64 games for us
AJ so far has played in 45 games for us.

So if he can keep his shooting percentage at its current level or raise it for his next 20 games he will become the Pistons all time leading field goal percentage shooter with 65 or more games.

Re: Meaningless stats??

A stat like the Pistons winning 32 straight when having over 24 assists makes sense for us because it means the team is moving the ball and not trying to go one on one. When the Pistons execute they are the best team in the league.

I mainly hear true meaningless stats on ABC and think what? Something like "When team A has an odd score at half they are 10-1". - Why are you telling me this? What bearing could that possibly have on this game.

Stats like those are only useful if the team can look at it and say, "wow, we should try to make that happen." If they see that assist stat and decide to be more unselfish with the ball and it results in better outcomes, then it was useful. There is no way any team would ever say, "let's make sure we have an odd score at halftime." So, yeah, I totally agree.

An example of that isn't so blatant, is when they give a stat that is caused by winning and suggest that the stat was responsible for the win. Like, the Pistons are 5-0 when the bench plays the entire 4th quarter.

Re: Meaningless stats??

During the Bad Boy days, when almost every team in the league still averaged over 100 points per game, the Pistons were often cited as being the best team at holding their opponents under 100. One of those seasons, I remember one frequently cited stat was that most of the Pistons' wins followed the pattern of them scoring over 100 while holding their opponents under 100, as opposed to both teams being on the same side of that mark. But there was one announcer who screwed it up--I think it might have been Doug Collins--by saying, "When the Pistons score more than 100 and hold their opponents to less than 100, they almost always win."

Looking at that picture of Yi, I am reminded how much I hate pointy leathershoes.
