Max, Gabe, Lowry, and Duncan are all shooting 5% less from 3pt range from the season prior.

Also, none of the them are shooting over 40% from the field.

Live by the d-league. Die by the d-league. :lol:

Since Bam dropped 38 points on Myles Turner:

Bam - 14fga
Max Strus - 12 fga

Just the right level of parity for Spo :lol:

Can we cut Zeller and sign Noel?

He should have and it shouldn’t have been that close. Smart was a narrative win, not even the best on his team. Don’t even get me started on Gobert.

This is why we should’ve waited an until March 1st. Not that it really matters though

Spo saw Bam putting up Giannis numbers and was infuriated

We have 20 games left. Need to stop hoping our shooters find their range, it ain’t happening this season. Need to give our main guys all the reps they can handle to see if we can avoid the play in.

If not, a late lotto pick wouldn’t be the worst outcome. Allow us to add some badly needed young talent.

We definitely need to stop being honey dicked by the undrafted finds. It’s only natural that a guy grafting to get in the league, or a guy who is about to be out of it, puts in the work to try and maximize their financial position. The problem is, as soon as they get paid and have some financial security, their desire and game declines significantly. We’ve seen it with just about every hard working find we’ve found these past 7 years (Duncan, TJ, Whiteside) along with the Dion and JJ’s of the world.

It’s great we’ve been able to develop these guys into NBA players. But we need to stop falling in love and let them be paid by someone else.

What are the number of touches for each? Let’s compare those please. Because I see people continuing to conflate these two very different things.

One of them is required to run DHOs for the other and a plethora of others so yes Bams touches will be higher as he’s running sets for shooters. Let’s use some context.

Those early Riley teams got past the first round of the playoffs twice in eight years.

Careful using facts in this debate contract. He’s gonna start asking you for playoff records of all other teams with undrafted players and then when you say no he will use it to claim you have an agenda and your position is wrong.

I think this is called baiting. As a former mod, I know it is, actually. But in reality, if you present an argument only halfway and then get called out for only posting half the information, it's on you.

On another note, I can’t believe those teams only got out of the first round twice. Frickin Knicks
At least the Heat got the last laugh with 3 championships.

That, at least, we agree on...

Jayson Tatum with a worse shooting night than Tyler and Bam tonight in a loss?! Celtics better trade that clown for a real star

I will never understand why Boston didn't swap Jaylen Brown for KD. Thank God that never happened.

Wrong thread.

Out shooters came back from the dead tonight and made a difference. Keep it up.

Maybe now that we have size we can play Duncan Donuts.

Nope. Herro, Love, and Strus are bad enough defenders as is. Throwing Duncan in that mix makes us much worse.

Win tonight against the Sixers is great but it’s hard to be too excited about anything. Don’t throw 2 games to the hornets 2 games to the horrible bulls and a game to the nets backups and we’re the 4th seed right now.

I’m excited that Cody Zeller is looking like a true sneaky pickup.

You would really trade JB for KD? Your window is 3-4x longer with Tatum+JB than it is with KD
