Ooouuu those numbers are rough. I keep saying we have to beat teams by 10 or more if we wanna go far in the playoffs this year. Because there's not much time for them to get their shit together when it comes to winning close games.

Lots of time to get their shit together. And I don't buy that these clutch stats are that predictive for the team - objectively, they have struggled offensively in tight spots with execution and need to improve there and should be working on it, but... Like the Raps have graded out pretty well in the clutch the past few years and haven't exactly set the world on fire in the playoffs. I don't think it's all that indicative of a big issue.
I do think there's an issue, but these raw records and numbers are more descriptive than predictive here, I think.

It has to be an approach difference - he comes out looking for the pass and kind of eases away from it throughout the game. And it's far less obvious a trend for Lowry, so I think it's more a DeMar issue than a Casey one right now.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Last friday against the Bucks there was a possession late in the game where DeRozan was going for 2 for 1 with 35 secs left in the game - down 1. He took a tough contested shot over Middleton. 1. Why take that shot? 2. Why go for 2 for 1? you're down 1 with 35 secs left in the 4th. You need to make sure you score.Mamba Mentality

I agree 2 for one if you have a good shot, not just chuck it up. I believe it happened in OT as well.
Honestly the Bucks played out of their mind. They’re not a 3pt shooting team and we’re draining everything. If it takes that kind of performance to beat us playing poorly... I think we’ll be fine. We have to be more consistent with our effort level. We have a problem with letting teams get comfortable in the first quarter.
