If MKG and Zeller weren't hurt we win by double figures.

Noah and Biz were abusing Noel when he got hurt.

He had 2/2 and was hardly a difference maker.

Maybe MKG but we loss to them with a healthy Zeller earlier in the year.


Philly has gotten worse all season.

I think they've been more competitive since the MCW trade but they're about the same as far as winning percentage on the season since then. I don't know if I'd say they've been getting worse all season when they've remained bad as a D-League team trying to tank.

Took the words out of my mouth. Then again, my car is a piece of chit so it wouldn't have been a big lost. #Blessed #BizNation

I mean, he's never shown the ability to be a dead eye, or even remotely dangerous, shooter with us.

Even during his year in the D he was only a so-so outside shooter.

This happens to be my field of study. Occasionally, PJ will make a three from really far away, with a lot of arc on it. When one sees a deep three like this, it releases a chemical in the brain called Awshitsicrine which overloads the part of the brain where stats and logic are processed. Cloudy with Awshitsicrine, the brain will foolishly think that because PJ makes one shot from deep, he'll make other shots closer in and frequently.

Pretty sure it was the 40% from 3 his sophomore year or 36% last year in the D-league. Those stats say he should be better than what he has shown here. Similar to the way other guys shot better before they got into this terrible system too.

So Clifford refusal to play Noah was more likely because he hates mistakes and not because the rookie can't compete. But how else is he gonna learn? Will he not be playing like a rookie next season? This season was a lose lose. Didn't make the playoffs and didn't develope talent.

If we had PGs that could put the ball square in PJ's chest then he would be able to shoot 40% from 3 like he did at UNC. The problem is that Kemba, Mo, nor Roberts know how to make proper chest passes or bounce passes that don't land at PJ's feet like Marcus Paige used to make. Our PGs are too busy worrying about scoring for themselves to set up our perimeter threats properly to shoot decent percentages. It's no coincidence that PJ is having his worst shooting season ever with our PGs. He didn't shoot these poor percentages in HS, college, or the D-League until now and there's only one common denominator.
