Sammy's first pube game. I guess he wasn't going to finish the season 100% from 3 after all.

Not a pube game . He got a bit injured and didn't want to force things. Merrill works at this best when you set a high pick n roll pick , he is a triple threat there. We didn't set good picks for him so he did a nice job moving the ball. He was open sometimes at the 3 but his teammates preferred to shoot themselves contested which is sad even if they fall.

If he's playing through something he might have to play more off DJA for a bit.

Terrible game for Sam. Don't want to panic yet but we should consider trading him for Steph.

Considering he’s still shooting 80% from 3 I still think Luka Doncic is a realistic target although our team chemistry will definitely take a huge hit.

Nah, he stills shoots 100% when not playing through an injury.

Dude, he dribbled like he exchanged his hands for skillets [credit to the poster here who came up with skillet hands] and missed his one shot. It was a bad game. Happens.

Or perhaps it's indicative of what his entire 2021 will look like. Tough to call.imo
