    Going to be a tough stretch, no doubt. I'm with Cookie, win 4 of the next 7 and I can live with that.

    Well I didn't know Sixers were going to be so short-handed but I guess we're 1-0 in this tough 8 game stretch that we've all been talking about for a while.

    I really want to beat the Bucks and Clippers - if we can do that in this stretch, and lose the rest...I'm good with that.

    Cuz honestly - even if we win everything but lose those 2 games...we're going to get blasted again in the media and I don't want that to start playing in our guys heads.

    You know what's good about our current team? Veteran presence. I don't think people like Bron, Green, Dwight, McGee, Rondo, Bradley, Dudley and Morris think about that stuff too much. AD might, he's still young; I'm not sure how mentally tough he is.

    How do professional athletes even shoot this low of a percentage?

    [​IMG] ...... not enough of his own time extra shooting in the gym and not focussed solely on his pro basketball career? My best guess.

    I think 5 wins won't be too hard, especially since most of those games are at home.

    The scheduling bastard from the NBA should die, by making that Denver/Utah back to back twice in a season. Probably a C bag fan

    again, there are teams and players who adjust to such statistics:

    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/tuckepj01.html#all_shooting

    pj tucker shoots 40% from the corner (kuzma shoots 55%!). but pj tucker takes 76% of his threes from the corner, whereas kuz takes 21% of his shots from there.

    don't we employ stats guys? i'm not saying you have to become houston and pass up open shots in wide swaths of the court, but you can get that last number way up without compromising the rest of your offensive principles, imo.

    He plays too many minutes with Rondo to get more corner 3's for Kuzma. How many times have you seen Rondo be a ball stopper? Rajon's game is the the drive and kick game but the problem nowadays is no team really rotates onto him so players don't get open at the 3 and he's the one guy on the team who does not swing it aggressively on the perimeter

    yeah, we've been saying for pages that his rondo time is killing him. i think rondo might be the only thing that can drag down lebron's +/-.
