What's wrong with the starting lineup?

---

I think they are just losers trying to find their feet right now. Not in the derogatory sense of the word. I think expectations for perennial losers to figure out how to win in the NBA in less than half a season are unrealistic. When they click, they are nearly unstoppable. When they suck, they are unwatchable. They can't seem to weather the storm very well and when things get out of whack, they often times have trouble getting back into it. I look at the Knicks game and see some progress. Our shot wasn't falling, but we managed to put ourselves in a position where we should have won, something we haven't been able to do frequently when that 3 ball is ice cold.

Further, I don't think that the Pelicans taking the league lead in 3 pt % and then immediately going ice cold is a coincidence. Just points to our inexperience and inability to block out the noise. Hill may help some as he seems one of the higher IQ players on the team. I just don't know how throwing another 35% 3 pt shooter on the floor is going to affect things. It's not like we're getting blitzed by SFs every game right now, so it's a little unfair imo to start pinning the problems on Moore's size. Cousins and Rondo are bigger problems than the undersized Moore in the half court and our entire team sucks at getting back in transition consistently.
