63.6% from the FT line is not gonna fly even if we are chasing the 8 seed. Also we can't keep missing easy layups and then jack up bad 3's to try and make up for it. If they clean this up we could easily shoot 60% from the field some games. 53.4% tonight even with some bone headed possessions!

DV for solid content or for stating that we are better than this dogshite team we played and should have still won by 20pts without our injured players?

They had some bad turnovers.

The Suns are really good... so not sure what you’re getting at. We’ve had our own injuries and endless rotations because of it. I’m gonna be happy with a win right now however it looks.

I am happy with the win. Im upset because of the way we won. If we finish the game that way or miss FT's like that against the top 30% of the league we lose that game. We have to play a full 48 min and build on a 5-7pt lead instead of making it a 1 possession game. That shite won't workout against a lot of teams, especially considering how close the playoff race will be.

The FT% is my only complaint. The NBA game is going to have some hero ball and questionable shite selections. Not being able to
Shoot 85% from the stripe is inexcusable.

DV me for not enjoying the W as much, but an NBA team as a whole shouldn't shoot FT's at that %. We shot 76% last year and now are at 72% this year when we are supposed to have better shooters. When you are fighting for an 8 seed and you win or lose every game by 3 points that kind of fricking matters.

K, cant wait for the next win so you can cherry pick something that wasnt optimal and start a thread about it.

So I'm cherry picking that we are shooting 72% from the line this year? Will I be cherry picking if we lose by 2 and shoot 72% from the line when the opposing team shoots 83% and makes 3 more FT's than us?

What’s the most surprising about the FT % is how many JJ and Jrue have missed this season. I’m not use to seeing JJ miss and I’m not sure Jrue has made a technical ft all season.

Also I'm sorry I didnt get the message that you can only give criticism when your team loses. I'll take notes during the upcoming winning streak and fill you in sometime after we drop a game next year.

Immediately after a much needed win was just not the right time. The way the season has gone people just wanted to enjoy the victory and you were bringing them down. You should have saved it for the morning at least.

You're not wrong, just an a-hole.

We can pick something from EVERY game that we need to improve on. Hell, even an undefeated team can do that.

Enjoy the win. The team and coaches know what they need to work on.

This sums up much of Pels Talk perfectly.

The 16/17 Warriors, probably the best offense ever, shot 49.5% from the field on the year.

This thread is complaining about the Pels shooting only 53% and that they have some bad possessions.

Pels must be the only team in the league to have a few clunkers in a 100 possession game too. Fire Gentry, that 9th best offense just isn't getting it done!
