It's something you won't find on the box score. Reason we give up leads and end up losing the game is effort and grit. We build a lead, opposing teams make run and for young team with no real veteran voice, we get nervous, get away from what was working and eventually crumble. Doesn't help when you don't have a true go to scorer. Baby steps.

Because the main cog that we force feed the ball to every game, while talented, isn't efficient enough of an offensive player due to his lack of diversity. I think that's #1.
Our supporting cast also doesn't get to the line enough but not quite at the historically awful rate that our #1 option does.
Player fit is also up there, but the team has plenty of talent.

Orlando is 20th in the league in points differential and sit as the 20th worst team in the league. As Orlando is "only" 17th worst on defensive scoring, that the team is 21st in points scored is the reason for me Orlando is losing games. For me that is the most telling stat.

We are 0-1 when he plays 36+ minutes. That loss coming against Philly. Very telling.

Further, when he plays 26+ minutes, we are 4-22.

Our number one problem isn't represented in a box score, but in terms of what can be found in a box score my mind jumped straight to free throws as well.

I'm not a big AN fan, but I think these stats are a bit misleading. He has mostly played in garbage time over his career and given how bad we have been in the seasons he has been with us, we are almost always on the losing end of "garbage time games". So is that really his fault?

Since Vuc has been out we've been 18th in the league in FTA per game. Before he went out we were 30th.

we are not a tough team and every player on the team needs to get stronger and tougher. Gordon and Vucevic is a pretty soft front line. Vooch is just a bitch and Gordon has no lower body strength. All of our players need to hit the weight room and physically mature.

This play made me stand up. No-one else on the teams done that yet, except Gordon in dunk contest.

USG distorts with minutes and you are comparing a 34 mpg guy vs a 15 mpg guy....for example Fournier has a 19% USG....oops better pick that mic back up
......Smith just shoots a lot for a back up center, but in the end he only plays 15 mpg and that mpg is a little bloated because of the increased minutes from Vuc's injury.
