We are like a 1 in 30 chance.

We were 1 in 25 earlier in Nov.

I don't think we have a realistic chance to win it all.   I will be rooting for us to win though.

As will I, its just extremely frustrating because i had high hopes coming into this season.

Of course that we are not chapmionship team in at the moment, it's not like we discovered hot water or something with that...It's all about playing hard and not much else...

Your best players are pierce and kg, two guys far past their primes. You have a team that loses its identity when KG sits. Collins and wilcox are his backups. Also, bass is your starting PF. Championship team? Not even sure they could win it all in my dreams.

i felt like we do well with KG off the floor in the first 2 or 3 quarters. but in the 4th quarter, I think we panic a bit and KG is the anchor there.

We went up 9 with KG off the floor that one time.

not to mention that when KG and PP are on the floor, ball always defers to them whether they're playing well or not

Yeah that is really annoying. Shooters shoot but they also miss. If you're off then you're off. I don't wanna say turn down open shots but don't go out of your way to get a shot off if you know its not your night. Pierce will go 1-40 before he stopped shooting.

true. and it's not like they were bad shots.
there was a PP 3 that made me cringe, but everything else seemed makeable to me.
what do you think about the FT disparity?

  Otoh we've seen a fair amount of games over the years where PP sucked for 3+ quarters and then lit it up late in the game. It would be interesting to see how well his 4th quarter stats track his stats for the first 3 quarters.

Its to the point now where I no longer trust anyone on this team to make two free throws in a row. *Maybe JET* Even tho it happens  I just always expect at least one miss especially if its late in the game.

Yeah i was going to touch on that. I mean I guess its possible for anyone to catch fire after being cold for a long period of time. Still, id rather not worry or try to get someone going when the game is hanging in the balance. If they aren't already shooting well Id rather go to someone who is.
