is there someplace where we can find stats on how many ft's we shot compared to our opponents.
we're a terrible defensive team and other teams constantly are getting to the line against us. it seems like they're shooting twice as many ft's as us which usually is the deciding factor in most games.
With the Pacers, it has become a pick your poison kind of deal. Oneal and Granger are the only two players we have that excel on both offense and defense.
Tinsley is a good offensive weapon, but defensively he puts pressure on Oneal to defend the paint all night, or Granger to leave his man to cover. Owens is a far better defender but our point production goes down.
Foster is a far better defender and glass cleaner than Murphy but provides little offense.
One thing about having Owens in the lineup, you suddenly realize how horrible Dunleavey is at defending.
Daniels off the bench has been like a matador lately, which is a slight improvement over Tinsley's impression of an orange cone on the highway.
Rush has been a surprising defender this year, playing very hard at keeping people in front of him.
I think it would be interesting to start, for one night:
Owens - Rush - Granger - Oneal - Foster
The coach has chosen "points for" as a priority over "points against". He chose his poison.
