    50 per cent is efficient. That wasn't the problem. Defensive rebounding after the first shot was the problem. Our transition defence has fallen away as well

    Would be risky though because Fred might not be big enough to stop Grant from leaving the floor to still get the shot off

    Doubt it since the Rockets already overachieved and they will save more face by making the playoffs. If you read the posts here Ime is in charge so I doubt FO cN bully him like they did Silas.

    Ime's coaching looks great if we are winning. Even when we were winning he had some weird substitutions. Winning covers faults at times.

    we haven't overachieved, you only achieve what you achieve. Just want to beat last season's record and win 30+. That was my goal for the team.

    Smith is more vital to this team than folks realize.

    Huh? Overchievement is based on your projection preseason so of course you can overachieve.

    If you go back to the Clippers, Lakers, Detroit and now this one. They can't guard the three point buzzer beater. They walk themselves into defenders and take bad angles leaving too much space. The irony, they take out Alpi.

    12/17 from 2 and 50% overall, dont think we should be looking at jalens efficiency with regards to why we lost.

    Another bad defensive showing from everyone and it just feels like for the past month we have had a bottom half of the league defense, don't know the numbers tho.

    Yeah, we need his spacing and volume scoring Jeff Green's 4pts ain't cutting it. IMO he is the 3rd most important guy after Sengun and FVV.

    29 points on 24 FGA and 4 FTA equates to a 56.29 TS%.

    League average TS% this season is 58.1%

    I like the idea. Looking at January stats for the last 13 games.....

    Jalen 38.0 FG% 27.1 3PT%
    Cam 47.6 FG% 41.3 3PT%

    Our transition defence was great to start the season. Teams have sort of figured us out on that now.
