Re: Car Nack Predicts 04/06

I'm with Joe on this one. 150 points will happen very few times. Maybe once or twice per competition when the planets align.

Every year, people over-trivialize scoring. Right now, everyone thinks scoring is easy. It is not easy. All the "I can shoot 10 in 6 seconds (or less)" teams that I have seen video of have scored maybe 1/2 of the shot balls. If you can get 30 points in auton, you will win auton more than 80% of the time.

Also, for 40 of your 80 seconds of offense you have someone playing defense on you all the time. They can't do anything else but play defense. You will be extremely harassed for those 40 seconds.

There will be many more matches that have very few points scored in the 3 point goal and will come down to the ramp.
