Just keep pushing forward. Why has it taken so long to actually pressure mcconnell?

He’s overplaying him. You can’t get up tight on McConnell. That’s what he wants. He doesn’t want to shoot. He wants to make you overcorrect and then he changes direction to create his space and Cason can’t seem to figure it out.

Feels a lot like game 5 right now. Siakam opened the 4th quarter when 600 straight points

We're switching the bigs and guards too easily

Dub is not Shai, and the shai offense barely works for Shai because he's the best iso player in the league right now

We need to punish them when McConnell is off the floor.

We need to move the ball. More screens, those simple screens for JDub are not enough.

4 fouls on JDub is a problem even more because they are likely going full Siakam now

Shai has been better tonight in moving the ball when the double comes. He doesn’t have a great feel for the timing, but he has used shot fakes to force the help to close which has created some very good looks. Our half-court offense gets a lot better if he does this consistently.
