Yeah Ray might have gotten it if we had gone to OT....We still gave away alot of opportunities...Oak and Naz have got to play better..especially Oak...fluffernutter wrote:Jrich, Felton, Dudley are the only ones with reasonable games. Felton kinda almost close to a triple double (22/10assists/7rebounds) but not really that close. JRich terrible from 3 point land. My god. 4 out of 13? We just didn't get enough game from Nazr and Okafor to win.
I think I like Hammer starting...If only he could just get back to being automatic with the open shots....

I think of him as a better than average jumpshooter...Seems like last year he hit most of his WIDE open jumpshots... I'm not saying he did not have good fgs %, I'm talking about the open ones that he should knock down in his sleep...SamBone wrote:-= original quote snipped =-
A little confused, Hammer shot 40% and was 4-6 from 3! Can't get any more automatic then 7-9 from 3 like he has been the past 2 games.

Hammer 07/08 Season: .426 FG%, .414 3pt FG%, 22.8 MPG and 8.2 PPG
Hammer 06/07 Season: .433 FG%, .416 3pt FG%, 26.1 MPG, 12.1 PPG
Seems like the same to me except for minutes which is why the PPG are down. Shooters need minutes to produce.

I guess that is why I said SEEMS. He took a lot more shots last year and made more..not percentages but just shots made..so it did not SEEM that he was missing open shots...but since I guess he does not get as much playing time, to me it SEEMS, as if he is missing more wide open shots...I can not put numbers on it...SamBone wrote:-= original quote snipped =-

hammer was SEEMINGLY doing a better job of getting to the line last year. not sure if that holds true when you look at FTA/48. my feel-o-meter thinks hammer is driving to the basket much less this year. this year he has spent a lot of game doing his ammo impression (i.e. standing around at the 3-pt line waiting for a pass).

agree 100%, that is poor coaching. The team has no plays
