    Looked up the Clippers, a roster with a bunch of defensive players:

    7 times over 35 points
    1 time over 37
    1 time over 40
    0 times over 45

    Granted I did a rough count. I can go back and write each individual one down and have an accurate count... but I know I'm not off by more than one or two.

    It's probably close enough... a second count won't make it look great!

    Yeah... Melo had the worst +/- on the team (-19) for a reason that game... I had all the contested shots he bricks, so frustrating

    That game for sure.
    Yes he had some better games but they ain't happening much lately.

    If i was Stotts i would be on the horn to Olshey telling him "I'm sorry but it's Melo or Me. Take your pick"

    Olshey should let both go so nobody is jealous !
    But in all seriousness, even if Olshey should get rid of Melo, Stotts is still making the decision to give him all those post touches that result in bad shots, playing him more than any other reserve and playing him at C

    On ESPN stats, Melo is at least ahead of Giles in terms of efficiency scorring and efficiency shooting.

    Sadly, Giles, Blevins...and not many else.

    I thought that possibly we might be the team that scores the most in first quarters, but also gives up the most, but according to this, four teams give up more than us. https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/opponent-1st-quarter-points-per-game

    Bottom 5 in that category. Yikes. And we're only above a team that lost 18 in a row or some shit, Minnesota who is just God awful, Sacramento who is just perennially bad and Washington who played like shit for 2 and a half months.

    You get in holes with playoff teams that have passable defenses were getting run out of the building.

    Also in the last 3 games we've given up the most points in the 1st quarter. Nice job terry...

    Well, either that or our coach is not actually coaching. Either way we have a problem
