I said it in the game thread, we needed a game like this.we need to find ways to win when the 3 not falling.
Also contrary to belief, I don’t think our defense will take that much of a hit, we played team lock down defense for a nice stretch this game. As Thibs say, we just have to become a 48 min team.

i wouldn't even trade rj. i don't think you can win with ben being so passive on offense. he's like the ultimate frank

Last year between 10 feet and the 3pt line:
SGA took 80 shots and made 35%
RJ took 169 shots and made 34.9%
They are basically exactly the same from that range
idk what stat you’re using there but I’m pretty sure RJ didn’t take 169 mid range shots

I took RJ’s and Shai’s shot profile from basketball-reference and combined 10 to <16 and 16< to 3pt line.

He’s just too stiff, stiffer than a cardboard box, doesn’t have any elite skills and has 0 athleticism!!!!!!!!
And that’s ok!!!!!!
He’s going to be a very good role player!!!!!!!!!
He’s a vital piece of our core going forward!!!!!!!

;t=8s
70% finisher at the hoop right here folks
He wouldn't survive NYC, he would crumble just like he did in Philly. He is now trying to go to some low market team like Sacramento where he can hide from the spotlight
