While, I understand the frustration, since they haven't made their shots, but they were a 56 win team with those two all-stars playing exactly the same way they do now. A 56 win team is not obtainable with extremely low ball IQ players as your top dogs.

You also have to remember they don't have JV on the pick and roll, and Lowry and JV is what really opens up their ability to get easier shots in the midrange rather than deep. Biyombo is just a poor offensive player to run it with, and Patterson not a real interior threat, so defenses collapse instead. But Lowry taking late clock fadeaways is just a fact of life with Raps fans, but he's a tough, tough player so he knows how to step it up.
