Post game thoughts 12/7

I did look up their stats... 1)That's how I knew that they aren't playing the worst basketball of their careers.

"First and foreskin?"

I get the distinct impression that more people have been complaining about the fact that we have no interior defense, and the fact that we have been getting outcoached than in simply 2)winning and losing.

3)Defense is still the problem; good defensive teams find ways to win, even when the offense is not good. Too bad we're not a good defensive team...

1) I can't see any year they have shot the ball as bad as they have at this point on their season averages where are you looking? Ron shot worse last year, but his career numbers show that he isn't very efficient anyway.

2) Begins and ends here in the bigger picture for most.

3) I don't completely disagree.

But show me a championship team that had their three stars shoot in the mid 30's % wise. Funny how right now the Suns, Lakers, Orlando, Jazz, and San Antonio are all at or near the top of the league in FG%. There are too many factors to say it's this or that, but our FG% is factoring into our W/L record right now a great deal.

Career low shooting =/= worst season of their career.

But show me a championship team that had their three stars shoot in the mid 30's % wise.

How about a championship team where three of their top four players shot 40% or below, and the best shooter on the team, percentage-wise, shot 46%? Because that's been done.

And the whole "championship team" qualifier is a red herring, anyway, because it's not like the only thing keeping us from being a championship team is their shooting percentages: we wouldn't be a championship team if they were all shooting sixty percent from the field.
