That's 7 players in double figures, and check out the next two:
Jones: 8 points
Price: 8 points
This is the kind of all-around, high scoring that I thought would make us a playoff team this year. Too bad it didn't show up until halfway through the season.
Considering only 4 players showed out for Toronto with 2 starters hurt, I'm surprised we didn't lose by more. Indiana hit everything as well. Overall, Indiana isn't that good, but got us on a very bad night, without DD and Hedo.
But you were playing Toronto and still allowed 115 points. The fact that they scored 130 has more to do with the pace of the game rather than talent (other then Granger, whose a stud)
Overall we are good - it just hasn't worked out this season. In theory Granger should score 20 a night. Jones, Dunleavy, Hibbert, and Murphy should score 15 each. Rush, Head, and Watson should score 10 each. That is 120 points right there.
Hence "it hasn't worked out this season". Injuries have played a role, I think chemistry has been an issue until January, and Granger has taken a step back this year. There's no question in my mind that this team had potential, which is why I was hyping them at the beginning of the season. This game only reinforced my point. Things don't always work out I guess.
Besides the Killer Bs (lame nickname wtf), everything that could have went wrong did. We knew we'd lose this game (at least I did), nothing to get upset about. The 130 isn't as bad as it looks. I could go on but meh, down game, move on.
Overall we are good - it just hasn't worked out this season. In theory Granger should score 20 a night. Jones, Dunleavy, Hibbert, and Murphy should score 15 each. Rush, Head, and Watson should score 10 each. That is 120 points right there.
Also, holy fuck on the averages. Way too high. WAY TOO HIGH.
Not really. Those are the numbers those players should put up on average. Tell me which ones are too high? The only ones I think you can make a case for are Jones and Head. Remove 5 points from Jones and Head and add it to Granger and you still have 120.
And I forgot to mention that when Hansbrough returns that should be another 5-10 points. Scoring 110-120 points a night will put you into the playoff race. All I'm saying that even though it hasn't worked out that way, it wasn't a crazy thought at the beginning of the year.
Probably. But last season we played at the second fastest pace in the NBA and averaged near 110 ppg over the 2nd half of the season. Again, it didn't work out in hindsight, but it was there.
You're assuming Granger stops jacking up shots enough for those players to even have the opportunity to score that many points.
