GameThread: vs. DEN

wittman needs to go.

… only saw the box score. But after taking another look at our game log, it’s obvious that 3-pt shooting has a lot to do with our wins and losses.

In 4 wins, we’re 22 for 48. That’s 45.8% and an average of 5.5 makes on 12 takes.

In 11 losses, we’re 52 for 180. That’s 28.9% and an average of 4.3 makes on 15 takes.

I haven’t looked at other factors (especially confounders of 3-point shooting like half-court heaves and garbage time) but this factor in our wins and losses stands out pretty significantly.

Not one. They may have had one offensive foul, but otherwise literally zero. I’ve never seen anything like that — the refs weren’t great, but we weren’t aggressive.

Shaddy, by the way, is going Section 8. He was acting very strangely on the sideline, and hoisted it every time he got it. It’s an untenable situation. I understand that he thinks he should play more, but he’s got a lot riding on this and no matter how stupid Witt is, it’s clear he’s not going to play unless he plays the way Witt wants him to. Shaddy needs to grow up or go.

No TV, so…

Jefferson was his usual self; Foye had a good scoring day; Kevin Love probably had the best game of his young career thus far.

Problem is everyone else had a pretty bad night across the board. Jason Collins, according to ESPN, played 18 minutes with ZERO rebounds.
