Grab a maple glazed donut and buckle up for the latest episode of Fastbreak Breakfast, where we tackle a deep philosophical questions near and dear to our hearts: is it better to shoot 0-12 or 1-18?

With our affinity for bad shooting performances, the remarkable display from Andrew Wiggins and Robert Covington last week (combining to go 1-30 in a win, somehow) brought us a lot of joy. According to Basketball Reference, only 49 players have ever taken 12 or more shots without a make. But just twelve have taken that many shots without scoring a point, as Wiggins did. As far as Covington’s eye-popping 1-18 line, he was just the seventh player to attempt at least that many shots with only one make. But at least he scored!

So which do you prefer/abhor? We debate the merits of each plus cover the follow topics:

  • How many Celtics players would willingly trade their field goal percentage for Markelle Fultz’s?
  • Which five players would you absolutely not want to have on your favorite team under any circumstance?
  • How many games do the Grizzlies have to win for Mike Conley to finally make his first All-Star appearance?
  • In the 14 team Western Conference playoff race, which teams do we expect to win?
  • Should the Heat burn their new Vice city edition uniforms with fire to save their season?
