If our competition so far had been a mix of good teams and bad teams this might be a statistically significant sample, instead it is heavily skewed, so doesn't offer much to infer from it. Short answer: Yes we are sucky, but we're sucky against teams that we should be sucky against.
The problem is we haven't been sucky accept the L*ker Game. All of these games have been winnable games. It's easy to look back and say shoulda coulda woulda, but how many games is it going to take Nate to realize Batum is a lot better than Travis
I wish you could enter in the formula quality of opponent. Some teams out there have had a very easy schedule. Stats can be very deceiving. Wait a month or so (or 2) when the schedule evens out a bit, and then we'll talk stats.
true, but even given opponent quality the fact that we are last in opponent FG and 3P%, and by significant margins, indicates something isn't working on D.
