We really need to feed Gobert more. Now before you complain about Rudy's turn over, I already baked Rudy's TO into his shooting PCT. The reality is Rudy's Ast-TO is 1.7 to 1.4; Ant is 4.2 to 3.4; Naz is 1.7 to 1.2. So, doesn't he really turn over a lot more than other players?

What the F* is wrong with Randle and JMcD 3 pt shooting? Missing a lot of open shots

If we don't trade Randle at the deadline, i 'm not sure i can keep watching. Probably skip the regular season and pray we still play after that :)

Randle shoot 15% last 13 games at 3 but he still taking them. Amazing how this team is mostly on automatic pilot. My grandma could probably be a better coach than Finch sometimes :).
At least we play better after Randle sit.

Rob has the shortest leash ever. NAW on the other hand can do some stupid stuff on offense and still gets to be on the court. His defense is overrated this season as well

Dilly gave up at least 8 points. Probably more, but I caught four distinct plays where he loses his man and either someone has to switch to help or no one does and Dilly gave up easy points. If his shot is not falling he is not only not contributing, but actively harm us. He didn’t have a short leash, he got some run and was awful. He will get more chances tonight.

Jaden attacking the rim could easily drop 30. Hard to stop someone his size and length without a big. Also this will boost his confidence and improve his distance shooting.

Agree. Rob play well 3 games and people start to believe he is the savior :). Ton ight he is not good until now, miss shot, TO the ball, no defense at all.. Becoming an NBA player takes time...we play better this quarter. I hate Randle but he have a good quarter.

Rookies, some nights are good, another night is really bad. He keep getting beat. Something he needs to work on to stay in front of his man.

To be clear I am not saying don’t play him. I am saying he had real leash and got his full rotation for the half. Sometimes it will be good, sometimes bad, sometimes… it will look like tonight… UGLY.

How are we giving up 60+% 2pt shooting to Dallas with all those players out?
