    Seriously, you act like this is an isolated situation. Layman is now shooting .139 FG% since Thanksgiving of last year. You're always making excuses for this guy. He got regular minutes as a starter for 9 games in the D-League and didn't shoot well there either. For whatever reason, the guy just can't throw the ball in the ocean, but it's not for lack of trying, whenever he gets in the game, he just jacks up shot, after shot, after shot. Unfortunately, that translates into miss, after miss, after miss.

    Right now, this guy is a black hole who can't make a shot to save his life. He has to eventually snap out of this. No one can shoot this bad forever. In the mean time, he may want to consider passing once in a while.

    Leonard + Vonleh = 9/11
    Shabazz = 4/10
    Turner + Aminu = 2/11
    Layman = 1/11

    Every player in the NBA is an elite basketball player. Every one of them. Games like this show that. What most of these guys need is an opportunity. I love watching the young guys playing for a job on the big stage.

    Still can't believe Denver didn't make the playoffs. All that talent.... At least Philly has the injury excuse. Denver probably will always suck. Be glad Stan Kroenke isn't your owner.

    Turner is going to be productive in the playoffs. He does a lot of things on both ends of the court.

    I'd liken it to a Premier League roster. All those guys and I mean ALL of them are Internationals and have World Cup experience. Some teams don't but they rarely stay up.
