I was just making a joke that you attached the same image 8 times. I see you’ve edited to just 3 times, now.
30th in FT% 26th in FG% 26th in 3PT% 28th in TS% 30th in Assist % We were better at everything both last season and in Silas' final season. Did we have a superstar last season? Did Silas have a superstar? Didn't Ime sign $90m worth of two way players and then declare that the system before him was not serious basketball? So does serious basketball make a difference to offense or not? Cause he sure didn't seem to be saying "we'll play different but get same or lesser results on offense". Only the defense has improved, and that seems to only be in the first half of each season. Silas' last season we led the league in rebounding too. Remember what you said about that? "Easy to grab a lot of rebounds when you miss so many shots!". Well, here we are. I don't get how Ime is not in the hot seat if we don't finish top 6. What exactly will he have done but spend $200m extra over two years to get us into the playins? The players have improved, it's impossible to deny Green and Amen have improved. Sengun had improved last season. We added good vets. Why has the team's shot making not even improved slightly over that last Silas season we were intentionally losing and letting players take stupid shots?
lol I don’t know what’s up with chrome, I have to hit post reply 3x lately for it to finally go through
Sengun: 100 missed FTs Amen: 66 missed FTs Green: 43 missed FTs Adams: 37 missed FTs Tari: 19 missed FTs FVV: 18 missed FTs Brooks/Cam: 17 missed FTs (each) Jabari/Tate: 14 missed FTs (each) Jock: 11 missed FTs Holiday: 4 missed FTs Jeff/Reed: 3 missed FTs (each) Nate/N’Faly: 1 missed FT (each) Spoiler: Can’t shoot Spoiler: Missed FTs Spoiler: Missed “bunnies” Spoiler: Attack on defense
Our offense is jr. High level of complexity. We have very little ball or body movement, we have no off ball screening at all, we are a simple PnR at the top and we drop it into the corners or to the roller if covered, that is it, and VERY easy to cover....which is why Sengun's numbers are dropping, Jalen's are dropping, we don't give them help with off ball actions. In the playoffs, any team will CURB stomp this crap. DD
Guess who is over the Pistons offense that’s humming right now https://pistonpowered.com/2023/06/09/detroit-pistons-stephen-silas/
I will forever say the season changed when Minn figured it out ( the Lakers kind of exposed it (Bron post game said they were seeking Alpi) but Minn really exposed it in that comeback win, they sit Gobert, put Naz in and he ate Alpi alive … it then ended with Edward’s game winner … but since then teams adjusted to how to play the Rockets ( they will let Alpi eat going 1 on 1 and it clogs paint so Amen can’t take advantage of his quickness) JG then becomes a jump shooter…. We have black hole aka Brooks and Timid Bari
Has anyone ever said Ime is a better offensive coach than Silas? I thought it was pretty much universally understood and accepted that Ime is clueless and doesn't care about offense.
our “core 7” is comprised of weak shooters and non-shooters a recipe to get handled quickly in a playoff series
Whomever the defense WANTS to take it....they literally leave guys alone....to force us to pass to bad shooters like Tate. DD
We shoot 66.2% from 0-3’. There are 15 teams over 70%. Amen is at 74.8%, leading our rotational players Players below our team average are: Sengun 65% (was 69% last year) Tate 64% FVV 57% Adams 53% Landale 53% Brooks 50% (was 71% last year)
Status Quo Stone did not make ANY real move at trade deadline for last 2 seasons because Rockets are ahead of schedule and want to see more development of core 7. Stone breeds culture of mediocrity. Star perimeter creator + elite 3P shooter has been a need for multiple seasons but Stone is waiting for "perfect" player to internally develop or to materialize out of Suns demise.
Sad but true. Our offense is just terrible. Defense is decent, but it won’t get us pass 1st round elimination. Kind of reminds me of JVG. Hopefully that FO either hire an assistant coach that can work with Ime to improve both of our shots and ball movement, or find the next Adelman to replace the current JVG..
why has this franchise always been a mediocre shooting team. i’ll never understand. nothing was worse than the morey era. guess who’s laughing now since this is probably the worst shooting team ever. the fkn grit n grind grizzlies shot better. this is pathetic i’d be embarrassed , our shooting coaches and players should be ashamed. and guys like sheppard dont deserve to belong in this shituation
