according to stats, kcp was horrible.

Stats lie, you have to watch the games man

100% truth right there. Having watched the game I can tell you that horrible is a gross understatement to how bad KCP was.

So you only judge players by their shooting percentage? That's cool man

KCP is a train wreck offensively. As for defense his man shot 60%. He had the worst +/- on the team. Sure you can point to one or two knock aways and say he had a couple positive moments but overall he was trash.

Even at that what are we arguing here? He didn't get out hustled tonight if anything they did a good job stretching him out of the paint as all their bigs are shooters and he still had a game high in rebounds. And offensive rebounds are where the hustling is at and he's been the best in the league at that for a few years now.

For sure. I was just pointing out that stats only tell half the story, like with KCP for example. Dude had another awful shooting night but as usual was all over the place on both ends. He had 4 assist but at least 2 or 3 other times he tipped loose balls to teammates for easy buckets and things like that just can't be overlooked when they happen so consistently.

My thing is the team is flat out getting out hustled on rebounds but we basically have two SFs out there as his frontcourt mates and most nights they are giving up a few inches in height at the 4 and we are paying for it on the glass now. That's why I wanted to insert Leuer in the starting lineup to help him out a bit as I think Mook can get hot like this off the bench just the same as he does starting while still getting big mins. Right now we have lost our biggest strength which has been rebounding.

I haven't seen leuer make a shot in weeks.

He made that one 3 after the referee blew the whistle on the shot clock violation. Go freaking figure.

I'm talking about rebounds cause he's our second best rebounder.

Thinking about the days or weeks it takes Reggie to get in a groove, even once he's starting, makes me want to defenestrate myself. Back to battling for the 8th seed.

Jeff Van Gundy wasn't too far off when he picked us as his team to fall out of the playoffs in the East.

Thank you for the word-a-day. I'm currently at work up at on the second floor and the pavement doesn't look too inviting down below so I don't think I'll be partaking.

Second night on a back to back and it came down to the last shot.

Celtics essentially at full strength also on a B2B while we're once again missing our most important offensive piece

6-8 thus far without Reggie...every man and his dog claimed IF we were .500 when he returned they'd be happy...

Would one more win over this opening stretch really have made all the negative posts vanish?

Winning cures all but surely if we were 8-6 or 9-5 people would still complain

Horrendous coaching.
