Passing was good. Pace was good.

Happy to see Moody step into his shot. Looked good.

Steph was just awesome from deep.

76ers were pathetic.

inexplicable. TJD starting over him as well.

when we win games we win by the shooting.. our Cs are basically just out there playing defense and get board.. he is not a bad player but not understanding the love with TDJ at all.

Vertical threat. That's it.

What is Pat Spencer’s role? Why does Spencer have a roster spot?

sure but our offense has not been better when he is on and our defense has been much better when he is off. His -6 net rating is not great...

Kerr wants to keep tweaking to add a bad fit thus pulling more away from what works.

The kuminga experiment early in the year, but now they found the best fit for him.

They want to start schroeder, but to do that, you need a rim threat. Enter tjd. But now we move more away from defense and screen gravity. Loon opens up shots for our shooters, but is near useless as a finisher and role threat.

Instead of starting loon and heild to maximize steph, dray, and wiggs, kerr is trying to make things that don't fit; fit.

Amazing what happens when nearly everyone hits their 3's, passes the ball, and the visiting team has a bad night on a back to back on the road... But another amazing Steph performance.

Still -- Dray, Wiggs, and Buddy were 3-14 on 3's. (Wiggs and Buddy 2-9 on their own.) What happened to Buddy's shot?

Anyway, take the blowout win and hope it bodes well for the rest of the year. 5 weeks 'til the trade deadline.

1 or 2 of those wiggins 3's were grenades with little time on the clock.

Buddy is missing open shots, but we're also doing a poor job of making him comfortable. We run nothing for him off ball and at other times, he's trying to create his own offense. Buddy needs space, but he can't really create it himself. Kerr is running him like steph with the bench and teams are crowding him without any other floor spacers.

Still, Kerr had to make sure Lindy played more minutes than Moses.

Enjoy and appreciate Steph while you can folks. 8/8 from 3 with 10 assists!

Looks like we went mostly motion this game, I dont think i saw a single schroeder/dray pnr. We are best we we play fast, but that doesn't mean quick shots. We were cutting, moving, and swinging the ball quickly. We weren't just making shots, we were creating space to get better looks.

Defensively, we didn't over commit much nor over help. But it also helped that the 6ers were running mostly isos with very little movement. Players stayed with their guard and it allowed wiggs and dray to provide backline help. Tjd is our weak link right now on defense.

He doesn’t bro. He has a two-way deal.

You can ask for the same on Sat vs those memphis punks.

Maybe?

This was Schroeders best game for us, but it wasn't a Schroeder game, he was a Melton clone. He was pestering Maxey at poa and hit his spot up 3's. He wasn't pounding the ball and forcing pnrs.

Him playing like Melton allowed the offense to play faster and steph/dray/ Wiggins were all involved in creating offense. Defensively, it allowed wiggins and dray to be more in help mode. Those 2 are the only guys on this team that can guard 2, it's a strength. Schroeder at poa allows them to play to their strengths.

With jks role settled nicely, if Schroeder can play like a Melton, then we are tjd fix away from going on a run.

do we really think Schroeder is going to be able to shoot like Melton?

is Kyle Anderson washed or just not a fit as long as Dray is healthy? He’s been riding the pine

There's just so many minutes at the 4 between dray, jk, wiggins. We've been getting killed when he plays the 5, so Kyle is getting benched in favor of getting JK going. They're trying to get more shooting on the floor so they can at least play 3 out.

regardless of schroder or any oither player, I expect the team - steph and green in primis given the lousy performance they had in MEM last time - to show some pride (and balls) and play the game like it was game 7 of the WCF. I expect the team - and the CS - to have circled this game in red on the calendar and go on the floor possessed. they should get into the gam with the sole purpose to annihilate the grizzlies and win with at least 30 points differential. one game they need to make a statement is this one here.
