Neat stats, huh. Ya'll think Uncle Alroy reads the board? I mean, its impossible that we know anything about basketball and that he's a super flexible tactician whose years of (REALLY SUCCESSFUL!!1!) experience make him completely and totally beyond reproach and criticism, so I doubt it (hi, Mac). So yeah, its too bad fans are incapable of understanding this game and noticing the obvious flaws in an offense that leans far too heavily on one frontcourt player that does not pass the ball well, takes too many long range jump shots, causes his teammates to stand around and ball watch and does not maximize his unique and elite skill set.
Yeah, we are just so dumb. :(
