None of Cams misses were even close. He made one quality shot and an absolute prayer in the lane. At some point you have to reel him back in until he gets right. His defense isn’t good enough to justify his current minutes.

Games like this where everyone is struggling with shooting we need Ayton to step up and score. But he won’t because he’s just a glorified role player who will get what the defense gives him rather than go get something in his own.

Really need a solid home stand to get back on track and send a message. Need to treat it as if it’s the bubble and they need to win 1 game seven times

This team absolutely needs DA to be a consistent offensive weapon. The whole offense is oriented around spacing and 3s. If the 3s aren’t falling we’re toast unless DA, Book and CP3 can make shots inside.

Book and CP3 need a reliable third man that can get to the rim. Also they need to be able to get him the ball without it resulting in a turnover >50% of the time.

Nah. He just has to do enough to get that next contract.

The truth is, we do miss Kelly's ability to play downhill and get to the rim. We knew we'd be giving that up, we anticipated Bridges and Cam getting better in that area but it's not their game. Going after his assist rate in that situation is kind dumb tho, since you want him getting to the basket and finishing the play, not kicking out to shooters who could miss (sound familiar?).

Uh no. Kelly’s tunnel vision killed the flow of our offense and rhythm of his teammates. He scored 20 at the detriment of the overall team IMO. Let’s not rehash this and just agree to agree that Kelly fucking sucks

How about when he scores 40 on 20 shots

That is an opinion. The fact is that five man unit was one of the best offensive lineups in basketball.

Incorrect. You’re forgetting there are alternative facts. You fool.

Lol, Saucey. You'll never be accused of lacking conviction.

[Charlie Smithy!]

Lol, Saucey. You'll never be accused of lacking conviction.

I just wish we had had the conviction to take Trent Plaisted.

I'm also surprised (a lot more surprised haha) that Tyler Haws didn't pan out.
