Locking him long term was.. a choice
A terrible choice. WTF was Weltman thinking? Panicked after missing out on IHart I'd bet.

Ok... the game will probably settle now and BOS gives us the smackdown.

9 of the team’s 22 attempts from 3 compared to Boston’s 5 of 18 total attempts.

I just don’t get why we keep relying so heavily on the worst element of our offense?

AB be looking nervous and unsure. No reason for the butterfingers that was an easy layup there.

WCJ probably needs to lose 15-20lbs to get back to his promise. He looks too slow too unathletic this season

Uncreative offense, so they settle.

Because we don’t have anyone other than Paolo and Franz that can break a set defense down off the dribble?

Imagine if we had a guard like Payton Pritchard
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

He was probably thinking he needed to throw Mike Miller a bone since he didn’t sign Tyus Jones and can’t give Paolo a max extension yet.

Teams load up inside because we can't shoot.

Healthy team personnel is full of people who like to shoot.

Hard to get inside without resistance from half court.

I need AB to be more aggressive more consistently. He's pretty good attacking the basket

AB with a nice move on Hauser! That fake and step through was a savvy move for him.

Those are the threes I don't like from Paolo. Not in rhythm and bails the defense out.
