All the near airball shots from rob Jerome Franklin and damezi were fine tho.
 
The team was shooting 6% from three 29% from the field and 54% from the line with 4 minutes left when I left. That is the reason we got annihilated, we can’t shoot at all. These players suck at shooting, in fact not one Archie recruit can hit the broad size of a barn.
 
When I looked at the game box score summary, here is the statistic that jumped out at me. We had seven (7) assists for the entire the game. You could dribble the ball off your foot that many times and get that many assists by accident. Here is what this tells me.
1. We have too many shoot first guards who are happy to pound the ball into the floor with no designed purpose and play last guard holding the ball before the shot clock expires heave it toward the basket.

2. When you have guards who play this way it makes it difficult for the inside players to play with them effectively. The inside players can move and create space inside, but if the guards can't get the ball to them when they are open, it becomes very frustrating for them, and they eventually go through the process with less effort and don't get open.

3. When your guards take shots like this with no offensive rhythm the inside players have no clue as to when to try to get rebounding position. This makes your Offense look even worse. In addition many of these shots are taken when the Offense has no floor balance leading to fast break opportunities for the Opponent.
