    most of that is without Rondo as well, so it's too small of a sample size to say much of anything definitive regarding any player really.

    That's not how basketball is meant to be played. Josh is too skilled overall to be turned into a spot up shooter.

    The lebron effect is not beneficial for most players. Unless they take the ball out of his hands more, we'll just get more of the same.

    I'm still a fan of trading him for maximum value and pulling off a Cbag level trade with draft picks and talent out the wazoo lol. Probably a bad PR move, and if anti-Klutch agency ends up being a big player down the road, it may not be a great move. Maybe trade him to the Clippers and let the curse settle on him.

    i ******* hate jared dudley. you know your defense is absolutely atrocious when you let that guy get to the rim from the 3 pt line. embarrassing. why does the FO keep on ignoring the fact that this team has zero defense outside of zo?

    and how are these guys in the NBA if they can't make their FTs? blows my mind

    not going that far bro, a good coach with actual system would do better...walton system is a blend of system that doesnt fit james nor our players due to lack of good 3pt shooting

    Free throws. Free throws. Free throws.

    I know highschool teams that shoot better free throws.

    Every missed free throw is an extra mile after practice for everyone.

    I think we are dead last in FT%

    We missed 10 free throws. Lost by 5. Basically shooting ourselves in the foot with all the missed opportunities.

    Right now we are an atrocious road team. Doing okay at home but if we hope to maintain a good place in the standings, we gotta get our road record up around .500. Right we’re below in that regard. That’s not going to cut it.

    If I were Magic I’d start fining these guys for every missed free throws. Hit them where it hurts. The more you miss, the more you pay. Bet that percentage will go up real quick. I think that’s fair.

    BTW this game we missed 10 free throws. Lost by 5. Basically shooting ourselves in the foot with all the missed opportunities.

    I'm going to write this one off as a loss due to our lack of depth. Bench scoring was 48-18 in the favor of the Nets. That says it all. Can't wait til Rondo, Ingram and McGee are back.

    For real. I don't know if this is exactly a WMC, but more of something I notice. We have very little room for error with this squad. Miss a guy like McGee and we can't really beat many teams. If one vital piece is gone we have a lot of trouble competing. Pray for no injuries to Lebron.

    What a nightmare road trip against crappy teams.

    Like seriously, this loss wasn't as bad as the one against the Wizzards but I had expected a reaction and nothing happened there...awful.
