can't stand this GSW crap.
can't stand this GSW crap.
exactly, since it has not happened it is at this current time conjured, not yet fact. we are not talking about the likely hood for something to happen we are talking about what if something happens.A hypothetical is something conjured, a deviation from fact.IF steph shot ___ ____ ____, how many points do you think he would score?No doubt.Could you please explain how it's not a hypothetical?Open questions aren't hypotheticals.Dem hypotheticalsHow many points you think Steph would get if he shot 46 times and had 20 free throws?
Like infinity?
You're better than that... except with one topic.
Literally just one.
First, let's begin with my original hypothetical.
What was I hypothetically saying would happen?
What was my original position?
I'll wait.
you're question was based on the hypothetical situation where steph takes that many shots
It is a question where we take what we currently know and use it to make an educated guess at the outcome for something that has yet to (or never will) happen
It's not just every 'if' statement,
"If dinosaurs and humans coexisted, do you think man hunted t-rexes?"
They definitely did NOT coexist, and we know that. Deviation from fact. Hypothetical, with a question.
"If Steph shot 46 times and 20 FTs, how many points do you think he would get?"
It's possible that this could happen. It's true that it hasn't happened before, but unlike dinosaurs, this could happen. Steph's career is not over.
"If it were to happen, what do you think?" =/= "It didn't, and can't, but pretend it did. What do you think?"
possibility =/= hypothetical
Offseason workI'm just wondering how did Steph reach this level man.
32/5/6 with 2 steals a game
That's early 2000s SG numbers
He's shooting just under 46% from 3....on 11 attempts
fixedYou needcan't stand this GSW crap.a tissuetoilet paper?
Can't stand GSW and Curry. The bandwagon is another thing in itself. He can obviously shoot, and by shoot, I think he is way way way better than Ray Allen. If anyone has actually watched Curry play, Curry is one of a kind. No one has been able to shoot like him, no one!!!You need a tissue?
As someone who hasn't, can you expand on this?

You've got to be pulling. LOL

Going to have to agree with this.
GSW fans aren't even that bad man.
Everytime ANY of them post (aside from maybe none(or 1)), I just assume the post says "stephGod" or " ......record since" and move on to the next post.
Of the recent champions in sports (not just NBA), GSW's current reign has been one of the least annoying reigns ever as far as fans go.

Curious to see if UnderArmor will sign him a life time contract or whatever. That ankle of his though.
the very concept of a hypothesis is based around possibilities and not impossibilitiesEntertaining possibilities is not the same as hypothesizing impossibilities.Originally Posted by sea manup

the only possible answers to your question are hypothetical answers, until your "if" statement actually happens then it is no longer hypothetical because we have facts on what would actually happen. The only possible non hypothetical answer to your question would be if steph was an NTer, read your post, went out to shoot 80 times in a NBA basketball game, and replied to your quote with "That."
there is nothing in the definition of hypothetical or hypothesis that suggests that the subject of the claim needs to be impossible.
"what would you do if you won the lottery" is a hypothetical question, any response to it would be a hypothetical answer unless the person had actually won the lottery and was detailing events that actually happened.
your question is no different than someone saying "steph would be the GOAT if he wins 7 championships"
Not every created situation is a hypothetical; not every if is a hypothetical.
But I'm the bad guy for continuing, so let me stop.

yes those two things are not the same, but they are both hypotheticals.
so I ask again, where in the definition of a hypothetical or hypothesis does it disqualify a question which can happen but at this moment in time there is no way of providing a non hypothetical answer?
all created situations are by definition hypothetical, they are an educated guess of what would happen if all proposed factors come into play.
