Why are the role players trying to create or make difficult plays? I've seen a few times a role player take a couple dribbles and then try to thread the needle to a teammate that isn't open for no apparent reason.

This bench desperately needs someone to put the ball in the hoop when Jimmy isn’t aggressively trying to draw fouls or can get a size mismatch. Jk hopefully can fill that.

Jimmy and Steph aren’t really being aggressive right now.

Butler's gotten the ball on the wing and players are cutting into the area under the basket so he can't attack. It's happened most of the time he's had the ball. He's had a few mismatches but nowhere to go because someone and their defender have decided to cut there. If he has Schröder on him, just clear out. For Curry they seem to be playing keep away from him.

Yea the team isn’t moving cohesively right now but once Jimmy has Schroeder on him he started scoring. That’s kind of my worry that Jimmy likes to take advantage of smaller players, will he be able to do that against LeBron, Luka, rui, dfs, vando?

If you want those answers, go look at the 2020 finals against LeBron and the 1st round of the 2023 playoffs with Giannis on him. Butler's biggest issue in the playoff runs is getting undercut and hurt, it seems to happen nearly every playoffs which isn't good. He's not started using his midrange game yet.

you dont let Steph touch for the ball for 20 mins and now he is cold. The way we are taking our own star out of the game is unheard of.

Giannis didn’t guard him. Lebron didn’t guard him. I don’t expect LeBron to guard him again.
