You call shooting below 45% on the season "making shots"? You call 33%, 44%, and 40% in the last 3 games (all losses) "making shots"?

Compared to everyone else on the team......

Yes:jawalrus:.

They are all in a slump and while Galloway is in one too he's made some clutch points especially when opposing teams focus on somebody else.

Also scoring hasn't been the main issue with the guards. It was just the issue that made ignoring the horrible guard play impossible. Calderon's defense is shyt too and its horrible to see everybody else amongst the starters (sasha & Melo included) trying to defend and calderon lets his guy charge him for a foul

Aren't you tired of seeing Jose put his hands up like :yeshrug: and make a face like :ehh: basically saying "what do you want me to do?" to the refs when he gets played by an opposing PG for some FT's? Opposing PG's always go at Calderon for some quick points. He's the biggest liability out there and unless he's shooting at a high % he's not contributing anything and needs to be seated next to Early,

Galloway may not be shooting well, but he's being aggressive as opposed to Jose, who's not really doing anything. Sasha is shooting and playing his heart out but they're getting blown by easily. KrisP is young so he's learning the NBA pace, but at least he's defending. It doesn't matter if he gets in foul trouble or not, what matters is that he's allowed to learn and grow. The rotations have the worst lineups for offensive output. Fisher subs 4-for-4, then takes out Melo 2 mins later. They go into droughts.

Shooting 33% (for 1 example, which was his last game) is stupid. And that's just 1 reason NY is losing. That's like saying 'Melo should shoot over triple teams. Pass the ball to whoever can make more shots, like Jose is doing. Jose isn't doing nothing. He's the best passer on the team, who gets you solid looks every possession, and doesn't turn the ball over. Only thing I can think of to solve the problem is for O'Quinn to shoot more. O'Quinn be passing up shots when he and Derrick are about the only consistent offense NY has.

When did NY get blown out? Y'all keep crying about Jose and Sasha when they're solid defense is what's kept them from getting blown out. They're only losing by an average of 1ppg because of solid defense and trash offense. KP has shot poorly in most games and defended his man poorly. He's a major reason NY lost the last game by letting Henson go off, especially late. Grant, Gallo, and KP "developing" will not help NY win games. It well help them lose, which is what everyone is complaining about.

You are making the most absurd claims. Fish is making neither 'Melo, KP, Grant, nor Gallo miss all those shots. They are doing that all by themselves because they're either coming off of injury, old, inexperienced, and just missing. I notice you're not blaming Fish for Jose and Sasha missing shots. You're really making up excuses and it's telling that I have to keep pointing out that whenever KP, Grant, or Gallo mess up defensively or offensively, it's always someone else's (Fish, Jose, Sasha, etc) fault.

I'm not tired anything defensively when game after game, they're holding their opponents to 40% shooting from the field and under 30% from 3. I'm tired of them losing from 'Melo, Jose, Grant, Gallo, and (usually) KP missing shots.
