I didn't bother looking it up. Last year, they were 22nd on offense, third on defense. To say it one more time, this team went to seven games last year with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs. Should Jalen Suggs get MVP votes? Well, he's not going to. He's not going to qualify. And now he's out for the season. Knee surgery. Kept trying to figure out what this contusion was.
If you look at the on-off stuff, there's a pretty significant swing for Jalen Suggs. I think it's like around nine points the last time I looked at it. The problem for them, well, there's a lot of problems. But their two best players, Paolo and Franz, are shooting 30% on threes. And...

They take 12 a game, or at least they take 12 a game in February, where Franz is shooting 29%, and Powell is down to 27% on threes. So you're looking at two scores that are combining for 50 points a game in February, and they're at a number where you're not going to tell these guys to stop taking threes, but other people would be told to stop taking threes.

Now, some of it, to be fair to two players that I still really like, Um, there's just so bad on offense, whatever they're trying to get into. And man, I'm telling you when it is bad, it is unwatchable. I think there was a Stan Van Gundy game where I just really appreciated his just absolute like exasperation watching them try to figure out what they were going to do.

And I don't know why it's this bad. But it's a lot of, oh, what do you want to do? Maybe we'll do this. Oh, this isn't working. Okay. Fran, shoot it. Paolo, shoot it. So I have, I think, a fairer eye in how bad some of the shooting is. I don't know what the shot quality stuff is here because I was looking at...

The wide open shots, I was looking at some of the quality tracking stuff that's out there because I was like, is it that they just have the lowest quality of shots? Well, on wide open shots, they actually were like 14th most in just a closest defender, not even being within 10 feet. That's how they track wide open shots. So it's not like they're not getting any of them.

Um, but this team is just forever has spacing issues. And for 66 million, you wanted a little bit more out of KCP and he's shooting 31%. And you want to talk like all don't notice him. I think he's all don't know to some second team NBA this year. I guess I could just say all don't know to some second team. KCP would get some votes.

There's some other guys who are just like, I know they've had some injury stuff here, but you're like, what the fuck is going on with that guy? It is so bad on offense. It's just so bad. They have a really good one-two. They'll have Suggs back.
