Ulis is an ok pg when our guys are moving, but I dread our end of quarter plays with him running down the clock. He still thinks he's mini Chris Paul.

Josh Jackson is sloppy, but god damn he can play.
Daniels shouldn't be playing. Hurt his ankle couple games ago and I think went 1/6 in limited time on Sunday and yes tonight still clearly on a bad wheel.
House in to start the second half.
He just drained his second 3
Then he shows a little something extra with a drive baseline and a pass out to the Jackson on the wing for a 3.

It looks like we're the Suns again.

Love Josh and I've seen him hit enough pull up Js the last month that I not as worried about his shot
His shot selection tho.....
I know his confidence is all the way up and the default go-to guy but I don't get the impression that Triano pulling him aside at times to tell him that was a bad one or you dribbled too much last couple possessions
I didn't enjoy that 3rd quarter as much although he still got numbers

I am definitely worried about his shot. If he didn't get to the rim as easily as he does, he'd be a negative on the offensive end. His form is awful, its inconsistent, it needs a ton of work if he wants to progress to what we all want him to be. He's also a bad FT shooter.

Hard for me to post much during games because of baby. But just dropped in to say, darn, are we going to get a win here? I like seeing Jackson have another strong game but hope we can slow it down a little and get the L.

Apparently Josh has a great boxscore and a good +/- but is a terrible shooter and FT shooter. 10 for 21 FGs and 4 for 6 FTs. Is this a case of ugly form with good results or typos on the box score because the numbers don't live with the opinions of some.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Josh is going to be really good. I am really happy with his second half of the season. His FT % worries me, but he just does so many other things well that I'm not worried about his development. He's a much more complete player than TJ even if he doesn't ever develop an above average 3 point shot.

His shot selection is out of necessity these last 10 games.

Hield has owned Jackson in the last two possessions.

Nothing more painful than watching Ulis hold the ball with two minutes to go in a close game.

I disagree. I thought it was poor the first half the year when he was out of control. I thought he really was much better in the second half until Warren and Booker missed these last stretch of games.

We just did the same thing we were guilty of against the Rockets
That running down the clock thing and looking to break down the D when shot clock gets to 8secs or something isn't an option for this unit

Well that last game of the season against Dallas is going to be pretty important.

These are his shooting numbers by distance this season, I dont know how you can think these are good.

3-10ft .407
10-16ft .320
16-3pt .380
3pt .261
FT 62%

He definitely needs to improve across the board.

Do you know how to find what they are in the second half of the year? Curious to see if they've improved

Who owns the tiebreaker between Memphis and us? Do we coin flip?
