Dead last 30 out of 30. Our team comes in as 20th out of 30 thats with Tyson Chandler leading th e league by a mile as well
Well, Kidd can only score from 3, Felton's numbers are skewed because of the hand injury. He's by no means a great shooting but, better than he has been. JR Smith is the one really struggling but, he ALWAYS manages to positively impact the game. Brewer was being tapped at the 2 (I think) and his percentage actually went back to normal which, is was and always has been putrid
We run Felton, JR, Kidd and Priggy as our 4 main guards. Felton and JR are 42% guys and Kidd/Priggy aren't really scorers.
Only way you would fix this would be if you upgraded the MVP of team to a real starting shooting guard or upgraded Priggy to a real back up point guard.
If Shumps comes back strong, he could turn into a real shooting guard that can score and get points in the paint.

This can't be true or accurate not with all the damage Ronnie Brewer has done since signing here. Care to check those stats again Briggs?
Probably ranked 30th in defense too
this will fix itself once Felton gets back
I think this is a case where true shooting percentage is a better indicator of how we're shooting because of all the three we take. If you look at that, Kidd and Pablo's shooting stats aren't bad. But it still doesn't paint much a better picture for Felton, Shumpert or JR. Have to give Shumpert the benefit of the doubt because he's just getting back and we all know how streaky Smith is. I'm hopeful Felton will get it together.
JR Smith
November
5.2/11.9 43.8 FG%
1.4/2.9 47.7 3PT %
December
6.8/17.2 39.5 FG%
1.6/5.3 30.0 3PT %
January
6.2/17.1 36.1 FG%
1.3/5.8 23.2 3PT%
Hopefully with Felton/Shump back and (fingers crossed) a healthy Kidd JR Smith will not be asked to do so much on offense.
There's no way he should be taking that many shots and that many 3s unless he can raise those percentages. I fully expect JR to go bonkers as he returns to playing a ROLE vs trying to carry a team.
Why does Orlando do that trade.

To land superstar low post monster and most improved defender of the year, Amare Stoudemire?
Don't forget the most injury prone player in the league too
Oh Amare is from Florida. It all makes sense now.

I thought he was from israel
And we're taking on 5MM more in salary because?
1) TurkeyGlue, and his 7 games.
2) JJ Redick, who couldn't defend any of you. On a good day.
3) Big Baby, like the age, like the production, but we already have two head cases too many.
And I understand O-town is in salary dump mode, but what about just Amare for BB straight up?
Edit: It won't work, not enough salary dump for Orlando.
Think they really want to build around a guy owed $50 and is fragile?

It works! It actually works! We can-ahhh bring peace and-ahhh unity to this board and put a man on Mars in this-ahhh decade!
Now somebody just tell me why Denver does this.
Other than gaining 2 wins and making us lose 1 more.
Kidd is the only productive scorer in the back-court who isn't a chucker. And he can't play many minutes.
I don't get why Woodson didn't sit Kidd the past 2 games. He could've rested for nearly a week and played today. Mind boggling

How about this one? We give up Amare, who either recovers from his injuries and returns to form or turns into a massive expiring contract after next season, JR, and a bunch of cap filler. In return we take the bad contracts of Hedo, Jameer, Harrington, and Big Baby off their hands and get JJ also. Jameer moves Prigioni to the end of the bench, JJ takes over for JR's role only with a much better shot, Big Baby is our main big off the bench, and whatever we get from Harrington and Hedo is gravy. The only hiccup is it looks like JR has a no-trade clause because of the type of contract he signed this offseason.
