Shai is getting exploited on defense.

Adams is always willing to leave centers open at the three point line, even if they can shoot.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I can understand a player like Embiid but it’s not like Jokic is going to explode to the rim for the dunk if Adams closes out hard. That’s not even safe for a guy of nikola’s size and shape.

This has been one of the least enjoyable games to watch all year. It’s amazing the score is as close as it is because it feels worse. Shai didn’t have a bad offensive game but his shot selection drives me crazy. He has such good looks from three that he passes up to shoot a running shot at the basket.

I did not see the game. 2 concerns I have for Gallo this season and right now.
1. He should not be taking more 3 pointers than free throws. He does not get in the flow of the game if he stays outside. You can see when he stays outside both in his free throw attempts and in his offensive rebounds. Now that may be what the coach is asking him to do but it is a mistake whether that is on Gallo or by design.
2. He hurt his ankle last week. Did he really have enough time to recover before coming back? If not 100% just sit out till ready to play.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point.
