Our guys just blew this game with so many missed opportunities all night long
no finishing kick...
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
This team is the literal opposite of clutch.
I love them, but they shrink in the spotlights.
JJ isn't really a late game shooter, is he? Not when you need to take the lead or tie things up.
I am starting to get scared that players like Ingram are going to want out if this keeps up. This is worse than the Lakers last year. Zion can't fix this.
Jrue doesn't get foul calls. He gets clobbered all the time, whenever he enters the paint, and you're lucky if you get the call once out of every ten tries. Whenever a strategy with Jrue relies on ''and then he gets the whistle'', it's a shaky strategy because he doesn't get the whistle.
Basketball.
Yet another game that descended into iso-ball towards the end.
Sometimes that works. More often than not it doesn't.
There is no reason, ever, for Redick to be trying to take people off the dribble in the final minutes of a close game. Ever, really, but especially then.
If there's less than a minute on the shotclock and someone who is 0-2 from behind the arc that game has the ball, and not only does nobody else move, or screen, or even JUMP to call for a pass, but that player doesn't even put the ball on the floor to try and get rhythm or drive? That's just inexcusable.
I don’t understand why Redick is starting to shoot so many awful shots. He cost them this game. Just wouldn’t stop shooting until they came back. How does a guy get the green light to shoot as many off balanced shots as he wants in crunch time. Then the team leader gets his shot blocked as usual in crunch time. Jrue was pathetic tonight. Constantly left Shroeder open and walked in for a fast break layup. I’ve never seen someone do that on a fast break. He deserved to get it blocked off of him.
True but in fairness, I'm never a huge fan of the whole ''match them to keep them regardless of what they think'' strategy. Maybe this is just me having bad vibes about it, but if someone actively wants to be elsewhere regardless of contract, jsut let them go. Don't want any players to be forced to stay and resent it. No more Eric Gordon situations.
LoL you have no idea how hard I had to defend Ingram against a few idiots here. Many here will tell you I carried the torch haha. This was well before we had even made the trade but when people were throwing around trade options. My favorite trade option turned out to be exactly what we got. Only difference I had was Kuzma included and less first round picks. Having Zion I obviously rather have the picks than Kuz. Exactly what Ingram is doing is exactly what I said he was going to do and I took heat for it.
Possibly because he knows he won't get the call anyway and it's not worth sacrificing your body for nothing?
I mean, we've had stretches over the past few years where he's been damn near flagrant fouled 5 times in a week and no calls. The refs just do not care about calling fouls for him. I'd probably be discouraged from getting smacked in the face fifteen times a game for nothing too.
