the ORL O hasn't been great lately but the D has been terrible since mid-way through the 2nd quarter against Utah.

Said to me? If so, didn't see, but thanks.

Just picked up watching the game but sometimes I just look at the box scores and think to myself "wow dwight 6 shots, vince carte 19 shots, really?" I guess I underestimate the value of a player to be able to create his own shot vs. someone like Dwight who just gets put backs, dunks, and FT's?

Hack a Howard??? I guess it could work.

Perhaps if Howard got coached by Olajuwon instead of Patrick Ewing it might help his touch around the basket?

USG = percentage of time a player shoots when his team has the ball?

turnovers and fta as well, with each fta counting as 44% of a shot. hollinger's version also includes assists

Is there a usg % that's considered optimal for an elite offensive player such as LeBron/Kobe/Wade?

no set #-- as much as they can shoot and remain efficient

edit: for some perspective kobe, lebron and wade are in the low 30's for their careers. i shouldn't have said shoot. as much as they can have the offense run through them and still be efficient
