PG Raps - Dame + Malik = WIN

[Matches Malone]

What now? Well, we will never trade Giannis unless he ask for that. So personally I hope he ask as soon as possible.

If there was a coach who could convince Giannis to literally never take a jumpshot ever - no threes, no twos - he’d put up:

Last season: 25.8 ppg on 69% shooting

This season: 25.1 ppg on 67% shooting

That wholesale change sounds absolutely horrible.

Sorry, but he wouldn't come close to those numbers, because defenses would defend him differently.

They wouldn't though? The jumpers do nothing to keep the defense honest, they give it up willingly 100% of the time.

While Gianni's 3PT% sucks his Catch-And-Shoot numbers are VASTLY better (around 33%) than his Dribble Pull-Up threes (17%, yikes). I'd have no problem with him taking about 2-3 3pt shots but off of a swing/swing. His shot looks infinitely better when he doesn't think about it and just lets it go. But I'd still prefer he takes more paint and mid-range shots and work on his touch from 8-15ft.

I'm still 100% convinced Giannis is coachable. He's had a heck of a lot of success playing his style. He's also a supreme competitor. In the heat of the game, he's going to do what he's comfortable and confident in. It's worked for him. Under pressure, we all let our instincts take over. A few decades ago on the dance floor, I had a situation where my best was required but I panicked and just went with the 'go-to' move. Was still lucky enough to meet the girl of my dreams and the rest is history.

I'm not saying it is worth it to keep shooting 3s, but there's been some eye popping lack of discipline where guys try defending Giannis's shot at the 3 point line, which has led to some easy drives. I think he has to show he is willing to shoot.....But more like 1 per game (that is wide open and less than 14 shot clock.....not 2.4x a game

I'll be the Paul George and say it was still a bad shot. You are just resulting.

I want to give Giannis the benefit of the doubt but the same guy with a fifteen second free throw routine that wouldn’t change for years is likely the problem here.

There is no reason for him to demand a ball from the inbound so he can dominate the possession when we have Lillard. He won’t age well playing like this and he has been given a gift, turn the keys over to Dame for 60% of the game, set screens and get the easiest 30 ppg you could ever imagine.

I think he will come around but every game he is out you need to showcase Dame until it gets through to Giannis how doing less can make the team more.

Nope. I ended up hooking up with a girl who was puking in the parking lot. The smoking hot girl I met on the dance floor wasn't impressed.

She didn't like your salsa dancing? Not worth it, imo.
