Interesting numbers: Dirk is averaging 2.6 more FGA per game than Finley, and 2.6 more FGM. Fin's also only averaged 3.0 FTA per game, which is most assuredly a function of his pulling up for jumpers instead of attacking the rim a la Stackhouse, who averages nearly twice as many free throw attempts per game.
It must be a coincidence that Dirk is taking more shots per game while Finley is out because Stack (14.25) is averaging near the shot attempts in the last 4 games that Fin (14.8) did in his first 5. Throw in the fact that Fin was averaging 3ft attempts in his five games to Stacks 6 attempts in his last 4 and it shows Stack is dominating the ball more than Finley was. Not sure why Fin was being called a ball hog and accused of taking shots away from Dirk while Stack is being praised for his .

Another way to look at things is to show totals instead of averages:

Fin:

5 games
158 minutes
32-74 fg
8-18 3pt
13-15 ft
85 points
23 rebounds
12 asssists
3 steals
4 blocks
9 turnovers

Stack:

8 games
239 minutes
39-91 fg
7-21 3pt
36-43 ft
121 points
22 rebounds
19 assists
8 steals
1 block
16 turnovers


Stack has played 3 more games, logged 81 more minutes, taken 17 more shots, 28 more ft's and has managed to only score 36 more points than Finley did. He's grabbed 1 less rebound, only dished out 7 more assists, stolen the ball 5 more times, turned the ball over 7 more times, and has blocked 3 less shots than Finley.

Sorry if I'm not impressed.
Excellent breakdown.

Can't argue with the numbers.
