Agree. But I think the problem is just efficeincy. I think the player and ball movement has been pretty good especially this early in the season.Maybe its just me but in the last few games...

Not to give a million things but 5 things we are better at this year.
1. Melo is getting some quick points in the low post and playing good with Scoop.
2. We are hitting midrange jumpers off the dribble and from set positions from atleast 4-5 guys. And thats jumpers not including the floaters.
3.We have been passing it around the perimeter and headfaking from three before getting a good look.
4. Triche and Dion get a nice cut to the basket for a bucket here and there.
Those are just some of the positives.
5. Scoop and our isolation guards/forwards are running a no high post offense successfully which is leading to some low post and baseline buckets, spreading opponents defenses and making them work.

Rak, CJ, Southerland, and KJo need to hit the offensive board more. If they have to box out in a hesitation rebound to reset the offense instead of flying in for a putback highlight then make it happen. Efficiency first always.
Can't wait to Rak starts sliding/rolling off defenders and grabbing some offensive boards.

We shot 17% from three and 40% from the field against florida.
We shot 27% from three and 41% from the field against Marshall.
Thats not going to cut it efficiency wise.

Against eastern michigan we shot  43% from three and 50% from the field for 84 points

We shot 40% from the field and less then 30 from three  the last two games and they weren't bad looks.
