I’m not going to make excuses. We’ll just try to put personnel out there that can stay on the perimeter. Right now, our core guys are just not getting out on the perimeter. If we go small, we can probably do it, but then we get hurt in other areas. We just got to get better at it."
Oblivious to the fact that the same personnel was not nearly this terrible at defending the perimeter last year.
Sixers' opponents shot 36.7 percent from 3 last year, making a franchise-record 585.
This year, Sixers are on pace to allow 106 more (691) and become the first Sixers' team to give up higher than 37 percent. They're at 42 percent, with the Grizzlies next at 38.6 percent.
Even Jim O'Brien's team, which seemed awful, "only" allowed 565 and 36.2 shooting from downtown.
