Thanks for the thread, WP!

I am not sure I would be using that emoji after quoting a stat that is based on 13 attempts.

Not to mention Giannis is in the top 10 for FG% and he shoots 8x as many 3s as DA and takes just as many shots outside 10 feet but less than 3.

Jokic is in the top 10, too. He takes 10x as many 3s.

[Split T]

Ya all that really says is Ayton can shoot more than the two biggest dunks only guys in the league

Game day thread incoming...

[Split T]

Didn’t see this anywhere

[dragickingdom]

This will help moving Shamet back to the bench for scoring and Cam P on crunch time.

I don't expect Cam J to play this week
As with Jae, DA who's last injuries which didn't seem too serious
It feels like the team basically gives like a standard 5 games off these days as there's no need to rush anyone back

Could be wrong but just a thought

I agree. And I haven't found it, but I swear I read a tweet that said Cam didn't join the team on the road trip.

Dang. Flex scooped Shams by a full day?

They said it on the broadcast yesterday, too. But they said "nothing official, but I would expect to see Book tomorrow in Miami"

Rankin tweeted that the last time Cam had this injury he missed 10 games. Hopefully this isn’t as severe.

I honestly think I prefer Aaron over Cam.

No shade on Cam, but Aaron is a better defender and at least equal to, if not better on offense.

That’s a little much. It underrates Cam’s D and probably overrated Holiday’s O.

[Shabazz]

By the way, and this isn’t revelatory, but both PGs are more paint-by-numbers type passers. I’ve seen a few cuts by Mikal and others that Paul would have found with a pass that, either because of size (Holiday) or ability (Payne) they haven’t been able to complete. Particularly that play where Mikal sets a screen at the wing and then dives, which CP usually rewards with a pass through the 2 defenders.

They are doing a good job controlling the offense and playing within themselves, but you can tell that something is missing off the ball.

[ShelC]

Yea I wouldn't trust Holiday over long stretches at this point. He's great in spurts but still has a ways to go for extended minutes. I'm extremely glad we have him over Elfrid tho, for sure.
