Are you kidding me? With 8 seconds left DOWN 1 DAMN POINT, why is he on the floor? You want to get Bron to drive and dish? Fine (even though AR would have done a better job, IMO). But put 4 damn shooters on the floor with him. Or a rebounder. He is neither and his standing in the corner served no purpose. Fire Bacon Pimple Goblin Moron.
Cam isn’t on the floor if DLO doesn’t get tossed. Plus we missed several before that one. Not sure Max does any better.
Can't waste this season with Lebron. Has outplayed Kawhii, PG, Butler, Bam and only Jokic has looked like the clear best player on the court over him
Injuries is the easiest explanation for why we’ve struggled, and it’s certainly a valid one. But I think our biggest problem has actually been missed wide open 3s. We’re 29th in the league in 3pt% at 28.9%. We have plenty of good shooters and our offense is producing great looks, but we’re just not converting. These misses show up more than just in the stat sheet. Basketball is an emotional game, driven by confidence and momentum. Doing everything right to not be rewarded with the expected result is deflating. I think it leads to careless turnovers, poor focus on the little things like boxing out, and less effort on defense. Not excusing these things, just saying; humans are emotionally driven creatures.
It’s tough as I do think we made some correctable mistakes in that game. However, im also very confident we win if AD and DLO had been able to finish game and / or we had some of our bench guys like Rui available to play.
It's either injuries, poor three-point shooting or coaching. There is no other explanation. Certainly, if we shot the 3 just a little bit better, we would have won close games.
Why AD included? Habit? (unless just talking about the Miami game while he was out ) Hasn't missed a game since after the injury last year plus played through some dings along the way. Not sure exactly when that was but read somewhere and missed the number .... he had/has a nice string going.
