Too many people on one half of the court.
Awful possession. Ingram looked scared to shoot it almost, and then Redick just had no room at all so that turnover was inevitable
Basketball.
Zion's FT shooting so far this year has been weird. He was a 65% FT shooter or so in college, and he's shooting at what feels like 30% or something from the line. His biggest knock so far.
Ok so, with the FT % this team has put up the last few games and the bad FT shooting in this game... the team needs to get their crap together at the line.
Well... The good news BI isn't shooting us out of the game. The bad news is he isn't shooting at all.
I remember before the season started I pointed out how bad our team was overall at FT shooting (using Zion's college numbers, and obviously not expecting Ingram to jump up 18% ) and I said that we were going to lose games purely from how bad we were at FT shooting. I was told by several people that it didn't matter that much, and we'd be fine.
How many games have we lost by ''free-throw'' amounts now?
Zion's played 11 minutes so far and he has 9 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists. He's on 40% shooting, but again, 3 of his misses were from those little tip ins so in terms of actual, real shot attempts he's 4/7 for more like 57%.
Had some decent defensive moments too, although he did get a big mixed up on a multi-screening action at the top of the key with Kemba.
Good game so far.
Does it feel like we're winning by double digits?
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
Good recognition of Zion to bounce that off a Celtic before going out.
Yep, 9pts, 7rbds, in 12 minutes for Zion in the first half. Good stuff.
5 players close to double digits before half time. That's winning basketball.
Something is wrong with Ingram’s hand. He’s holding it again today.
He hurt it a few games back and seems to be bothering him again.
BI --> Melli --> Favors
Good feeding, passing up the contested 3 for the paint look, then passing up the paint look for the at-rim look. Passing up a decent shot for closer and closer attempts. That's what you want.
Ok so HOT TAKE. Melli should be on the floor much more often with Favors, Hayes, and Zion.
He has drastically improved since the start of the season and deserves more time.
That shot was so bad, no one was ready to catch it.
