We are getting blocked way too much

http://www.hoopdata.com/scoringstats.aspx?team=%25&type=pg&posi=%25&yr=2010&gp=40&mins=15

Among players who plat at least 15 minutes and 40 games during this past season (about 280 of them)

(Being) Blocked Rate:
Tyson Chandler #5
Gerald Wallace #13
DJ Augustin #15
Nazr Mohammed #20

Very surprising for such an athletic team like us,I suppose they all were unable to finish below the rim,about time for our boss to teach them a lesson :D

because we can't shoot to save our lives and therefore always try to score near the rim.

We will not win a playoff series unless we bring in some shooters

Been like that for years. Felton and Wallace are some of the highest block against guys in the league. Okafor was always high up there too.

That's what happens when your team's offensive philosophy revolves around driving to the bucket. If we were a jump shooting team like Orlando, our guys wouldn't be blocked nearly as much.

exactly. our offense is based on attacking the rim. when you attack the rim 2 things happen 1) you get to the ft line lot 2) you get blocked alot. its no coincidence that we were 5th in the league in fts attempted.
