I saw this stat and thought it was pretty interesting. The Blazers are 23-5 when they shoot at or above 43%. They're 4-19 when they shoot below. That's pretty amazing considering 43% isn't even a good shooting percentage.
Barrett mentions this regularly. I think his was the team is 18-3(now 19-3) when they shoot 45% or better. The team can't knock down open shots consistently. It's a problem. It's amazing that McMillan can keep this injury riddled, inconsistent at best team over .500.
Most of the guys are having off years % wise but I've noticed they have to rush the shots a lot because they get the ball very late in the clock. Part of it is Nate's slow-mo offense.
Good luck shooting over 43% against Chicago. Our only hope is to get a shot off before their defense gets set.
I disagree with that. The players on this team get plenty of open looks and just fail to knock them down. I also disagree with the post above that said this is an "off year" for the guys on this team. Some of them have never had what I call a good year to begin with. Ever.
this is why B-Roy doesn't need to come back and play savior. We are solid when we play as a team, I hope B can find a new role.
