We needed more from Pau.

And the fact that Morris is not NBA caliber should be pretty easy to see.

Jamison needs to get the ball more often.

Pau + 2nd unit is not working for 2nd year in a row. Id just go with Hill/Jamison/Ebanks/Meeks/ whatever PG....Jamison in the post will at lest be aggressive with the spacing, hes a good enough passer to find the open shooters. Why did we bring a 17ppg guy on board if we're not even gonna run some plays for him. This team is an absolute mess from top to bottom

Pretty decent outing from our guys

Yes, the top five were efficient. Even most bench players did well.

Notes
Spurs gave up no and-1s.
The non-starters (I include Morris) produced 27 points on 37 possessions. That's horrible (.73).

Two quick notes on a related stat I monitor. I call it SCOFF (Scoring Efficiency). Last season, Kobe was at 6.6. Dwight was at 6.3. Durant and LeBron were tied for the league lead at 6.9. This season, Kobe is at 7.0 and Howard is at 6.4. Those aren't big bumps, but it's pretty fascinating that both of the big scorers on our team are even more efficient than they were last year.

Interesting numbers Trodgers. Thanks for updating this every game.

Scoring efficiency is certainly nothing to scoff at ...

Thanks trodgers for keeping track and analyzing each game. I have a new thread I look forward to!

Y'all got it. Rizzeal.

Interesting stuff. How do you calculate SCOFF?

Geez, morris has already passed Blake in possessions consumed.

He's not doing a bad job, honestly.
