    Ryan Anderson Points
    Laker - 2 - a 5 rebound game
    Jazz - 0 <5 rebs
    Bucks - 0 <5 rebs
    Spurs - 12 - a 10 rebound game
    Hornets - 5 - a 5 rebound game
    Pelicans - 5 <5 rebs
    Blazers - 2 <5 rebs
    Jazz - 23 - a 6 rebound game
    Lakers - 3 <5 rebs
    Pacers - 19 - a 9 rebound game


    5 rebounds a game?

    I am beginning to question his viability as a rotational player
    He just cannot keep having slumps like this

    It’s been a tough home trip for him. I’m sure he’s looking forward to the upcoming road stand.

    That Toyota Center depth perception is ruthless

    I think the problem is simply this...and i don't know how they can solve this, he can't shoot at home for that problem he has with the light or whatever it is that bothers him at the Toyota Center. But in the long run we cannot have a starter that can't shoot (which is also the only thing he can do) at home, that's basically starting every game 4 on 5. Sure, we can play PJ and bench him, but benching your 20M per year starter cause he can't do anything in most/every home game is something you cannot live with.

    He better drop 20+ on that Christmas away game at OKC to redeem himself. If he coughs up another sub 10 point game and we lose, CF gonna explode.

    Chemistry!

    Speaking of chemistry I’m ready for a round here at pastry war. I had to sit through that.

    He can't just show up 1 in every 5 games. If he's not going to shoot when he gets the ball then find a way to rebound man geeeez.

    if he can't perform at home that means he doesn't belong here...

    He's taken a nosedive on both ends the past couple weeks. Why? I don't really know. Has he gained the weight he lost?

    I expected D'antoni to go to him early tonight. Part of it is his fault IMO. He's not been focused on as an option. But with Paul gone I think the shot distribution will be similar to last year...

    The problem is that he just doesn't shoot.

    EGO was in a slump too. He never stopped shooting. It would be one thing if Ryno kept at his improved defense + rebounding, but that is gone now too. He literally just stands there and does nothing.

    What I don't understand is that so many people give him a pass when it comes to his home shooting. Did I miss something? Are we not trying to win a championship? How is it acceptable that he can't hit shots in half the games we play? And this isn't a short term thing, It's been like this since last year and it especially showed in the playoffs.

    Literally paying 20mil for a tree stump when playing at home. Doesn't help that Nene can only play 1 out of every 2 games.

    try to win home court advantage only for your $20 million dollar player to not be able to hit shots at home.

    what happens if we have a game 7 at home vs. the spurs or warriors?

    Ryno would have disappeared long before that point.

    Gordon has proven he can shoot well at home on a consistent basis meaning he knows he can get out of the slump. Ryno has never shown to shoot consistently at home and he knows he can never get out of the slump at home...it's just not possible...the sample has been 1 full regular season + 7 games in the playoffs + the first 30 games of this season. That's a big sample size.

    Oh please, just stop with the bullshit and half ass excuses. You are on the team to shoot because you basically cant do anything else but offensive rebound. So shoot the rock , just let it go. You cant just wait until you are wide open, you are playing with elite playmakers not magicians. Stop worrying about your percentage and do what you are paid to do.
