No, that was probably last game. Game before maybe too.

Great job fighting through their run. And it wasn't by just hitting 3's. Most possessions were well executed.

Would NOT trade him for Ball (as much as I like Ball). Cam Johnson is going to be a hell of a player and is a true pro.

He's high BBIQ. I know that's usually a term used to describe guys who don't have athletic gifts (i.e. Crowder), but we have a few players on our roster that have both. It's really nice to see.

I’m so glad Ayton didn’t pass that just because a soft double team came. Cam was open but the right basketball move will always be for him to take that shot over a much smaller defender even with the soft double.

Have teams figured out Saric or is it just him?

I wonder how Craig compare us to the Nuggets team he was on. 3 seed last year. 2 seed the year before who got badly upset in the 2nd round in game 7 on a crazy Lillard shot.

Ohhh I forgot we play tomorrow lol. Yeah maybe pull Ayton now then and sit all starters for remainder.

But put Kaminsky in instead of Saric.

Just in a funk imo

Still this is why we need more front court depth. If Dario doesn't have then we're really relying on Ayton to be good and I suppose Frank to not suck.

Players go through bad stretches. Cam shooting earlier this year, Bridges shooting last year. Saric was very inconsistent last year though and terrible the year before in Minnesota.

He can be really good, but seems to just be inconsistent. It happens with most players...maybe not to the extent of him though.

I do wonder if changing the bench lineup impacted him much. He seemed to play really well with Moore in there. Galloway has played a lot better than Moore, at least individually, but Moore might have been more of a team type player..doing some of the little things that helped.

Yeah Saric seems to just have no confidence. He's been getting whistled for fouls, turning the ball over, shot isn't falling....it's been tough to watch the last few games.

Might want to get Frank some time to push Saric a little.

He’s been so bad lately. I’d say the dude needs a vacation but post-All Star break is when he started to suck. Maybe DA tapped him to be his nanny

Lol

Hoping we keep this up so we can get Saric back in to hopefully get out of his funk in garbage time

He's #4 in DRAPM overall and #2 among wings in RAPTOR defensive rating...so the advanced #s back him being really good.

He is always locked in and I think Bridges working with him rubbed off a lot.

Cam x2 have been nice this game. Solid contributions

How’s that a foul on Ayton?

Keith_myath · Post #219 » by **Keith_myath** » Wed Mar 24, 2021 2:08 am

Miami have been quite yuck tonight. They're barely competing for rebounds and their shot selection is just woeful at time.

Jesus_H_Macy · Post #220 » by **Jesus_H_Macy** » Wed Mar 24, 2021 2:08 am

Craig looking very handy. Another sneaky solid pickup for Jones. We still need another big, but in the tiny sample size we have so far I don’t regret him using that roster spot on Craig at all
