yeah, but 4 shots? Getting in the line is nice but if you are a shooter, you need at least 10+ shots. But i agree,its the coaching. :(

It's really sad. I cant remember the last time he's taken double digit shots. How much of an idiot of a coach do you have to be to not see this? This is beyond frustrating

Im all in favor of an entire roster overhaul

Including trading Al Jefferson.

Foye's shooting has been horrific all season. I don't have a problem with how he runs the team persay as most of you do, but his shooting is killing me. This guy was cold blooded wtf happened to him? The lack of plays run for Miller also kills me.

I look at it this way, we denied KG a monsterous game by sucking so bad last night. Closer than the Pistons got atleast :lol:

the combination of Foye and McCants struggling this year has doomed us. They're the only perimeter players with any kind ability to create offense.

I don't think anybody expected offense to be such a problem this year, but Foye/McCants combo really let the team down, hate to say it, but the #'s speak for themself. Should be getting 30-35 ppg from those 2, but we're getting 20 on terrible percentages. It's too bad.

guys like Love and Collins and Brewer and Carney and Gomes, even Craig - they should be feeding off of the offensive threat of Foye and McCants, and they'll look 200% better if/once they stop struggling. Until then, it's a nightmare. That's why I threw it out there to trade the duo for Conley/Thabo respective, I figure if we're not going to get offense from them, then we might as well trade them for defensive upgrade and try to grind it out until the draft, then hopefully find someone who can make some offense happen.

Watching KG play against the wolves was real depressing.............. Sounds weak, but is it hard to watch him play against us for anyone us?

it was harder watching the Celtics beat our asses when they only gave effort in the 3rd quarter and shut it down for the other 3 quarters

and it was hard watching the Wolves try to score against the Celtics - it was like the USA olympic team scrimmaging against a 9th grade junior varsity team. I don't think that's hyperbole.

and one last thing, it was hard watching Big Al taking terrible shots, I really wanted him to have a good game. He didn't show much energy on defense either, I think he was feeling frustrated and discouraged.

Him and Love are big dudes, I want to see them hurt some people around the basket, they take way too many passive finesse shots.

Attack with some purpose, attack with some "I'm gonna go straight at his rim, in the interest of the continued functionality of your bones, I suggest you be somewhere else when I get there."
Instead Al shoots 12 foot hooks and Love freaks out about getting blocked and rushes shots. Love has good pump fakes, but he could be using his body to leverage his defender better and make their shot blocking a non-issue.

I hate this team so much right now. It's slow, undersized and only Al Jefferson is capable of creating his own offense.
