. . . But these numbers tell me a story.

We get 25 (!) offensive rebounds AND shoot only 31.6% from the fields AND in a combined 43 minutes our three bigs go to the line (0 for 2) once and score 4 points. Something is wrong with this picture.

Horrible shooting, even in close to the basket.

You're not going to go to the line if you don't go strong to the basket. Our bigs do not go strong to the basket.

I agree, and it's pathetic. Probably 20 of those 25 o-rebounds were in the lane. Go up strong and either score or go to the line. Dont come up empty.

People can talk about how the game is moving to a game behind the arc, but thats simply wrong. You NEED guys who can get easy baskets in the paint. Good luck shooting lights out behind the arc if your forwards don’t force your opponent to collapse on them. Unless of course you have Myles Powell

our bigs have no iq when it comes to awareness of quickly shooting and going up strong when grabbing a rebound. They may think they do in their head but they do the process so slow that they are either turning it over or getting in swatted away

A lot of the shots were attempted tip ins. They weren't rebounds and attemped shots.

This might be the first time I've ever heard of a team losing a game despite having a +17 OREB advantage.
