We've shot 1,592 threes. 78% of those have come from 9 players. KCP is the only one that is known to be a good 3 point shooter. With Jett we are hopeful that he is a good three point shooter as that is his entire stake on being an NBA player. With Suggs we are hopeful that his three point shooting is above average. With TDS we are hopeful he's an average 3 point shooter. Everyone else have known weaknesses from distance. This is a personnel issue, not a coaching issue.

1. Suggs - 15% of our threes at 31.2%
2. KCP - 13% of our threes at 31.7%
3. Franz - 10% of our threes at 32.1%
4. TDS - 10% of our threes at 30.9%
5. Cole - 7% of our threes at 30.3%
6. Jett - 7% of our threes at 30.7%
7. JI - 6% of our threes at 24.7%
8. AB - 6% of our threes at 23.9%
9. Moe - 5% of our threes at 36.0%



I don’t mean it as literally the coaching staff is making them shoot bad, more like allowing it to keep happening without changing the system. Having no offensive creativity at all or having the fortitude to tell them go get a layup or to do something easy to het themselves going. The staff lacks the experience possible to know how to get these guys going.
Or maybe the players lack experience.

Lol this dude right here :lol: you’re right buddy we just need to be patient and wait to get healthy to fully evaluate this team. You must be Alex Martins biggest supporter and feel also like we have some of the very best owners in the NBA.

Why so angry, Sport? The team is in 6th with the easy part of the schedule coming up.

Without Suggs or Moritz the team is a bunch of spineless jellyfish.
This game was so bad I decided to look up what “Post Malone” meant and it was just some entertainer with no teeth who gambles his life away.

The concern is that we don't appear to be any better than we were last year.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

They've shown they're better, but I don't want to continue and argue about it.

shooting a basketball?

I'd like to find an easy solution to this crazy phenomenon, flick a switch and have EVERYBODY not suck at what they're good at...but I'm seeing a LOT of open, good quality, practice in the driveway type shots...I'm stumped
We're led by 3 players on rookie contracts and have been injured this season more than they've played. It doesn't take rocket scientist to know we'd be in a funk.

It would take a rocket scientist to explain the connection between Paolo & Franz being hurt and KCP missing open shots. I'm not talking about shot quality- I think quite a few others have supported what I am seeing - good, wide open looks.

Caldwell-Pope's shooting numbers are not as horrible as early season, but we need to be honest; he has played poorly this season. And still plays poorly.
