Wrong.

There's only been 5 games where Augustin has made 3 or fewer FGs, and each time, he took fewer than 10 shots. Augustin has only had one game where he's shot very poorly and still taken a ton of shots, and that was a 4-17 performance.

Wallace has had only one performance like that, and that was when he shot 3-13. He's shot 2-10 once and 3-10 once, but made up for it by going to the line 12 or more times in both games. Felton went to the line ZERO times against Boston. It was a god awful performance, made worse by the fact he tried to be like our go-to guy in the final minutes. And if that wasn't enough, half his damn FGs (read: 1) was basically a gimme layup at the end of the game when Boston laid off him.

It was literally one of the worst offensive performances I've ever seen with the Bobcats.

And it's ridiculous after a performance like that, he's taking as many shots in the final minutes as Okafor got the entire game. Okafor scored twice as many points in his three shots than Felton did with 15. There's no excuse for that. And this didn't just start a game or two ago, this has been an issue going back to at least last season.

Ok this my last post before I go back to just reading the forums and not saying anything.

Let me ask you this one last question. Going by your methods of Felton being the worst player on the team and that Okafor doesn't get any credit. Why does Okafor not do any better when Augustin is in the game and Felton on the bench?

Well, according to 82 games, here's what I can offer you :D

There are 2 lineup where DJ is on the floor without Felton but with Okafor
1.DJ-Carroll-Morrison-Wallace-Okafor 16 minutes +5
2.DJ-Richardson-Morrison-Wallace-Okafor 9 minutes +2

There are four lineups where Felton is on the floor without DJ but with Okafor:
1. Felton-Richardson-Dudley-Wallace-Okafor 94 minutes -7
2. Felton-Richardson-Wallace-May-Okafor 38 minutes +2
3. Felton-Carroll-Wallace-May-Okafor 31 minutes -17
4. Felton-Carroll-Dudley-Wallace-Okafor 14 minutes -17

There are 5 lineups with both PGs on the floor with Okafor:
1. DJ-Felton-Richardson-Wallace-Okafor 37 minutes -4
2. DJ-Felton-Wallace-Ajinça-Okafor 36 minutes +3
3. DJ-Felton-Morrison-Wallace-Okafor 34 minutes -6
4. DJ-Felton-Dudley-Wallace-Okafor 19 minutes -5
5. DJ-Felton-Wallace-May-Okafor 10 minutes +7

Super small sample size, but it's nice to have these post month one results logged somewhere
