They just have nothing to offer when the 3’s don’t fall. This is nothing new..

6/21 from threes

What I **** hate sometimes with this team is when a guy is ive cold they continue to chuck threes to snap themselves out of it.

He makes it so hard on himself with how deep he shoots it. Not necessary.

Damn, we need some better consistency. We played like the best team on earth the first 9 minutes or so. But we've played like a lottery team since then lol.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

We went downhill when our place slowed, as soon as PP took over at point. As much as he has kept us in the game with 10 points, the team hasn't done squat since he checked in (just 2 points aside from his 10).

They are 22-6 though, so it’s worked so far. It does look bad when they miss but we can’t deny it’s working,

We're missing a guard who can go downhill. We have way too many possessions where we end up with just threes.

Pretty sure if a look is Jaylen 3 4 feet behind the line early in the clock...great looks.

Dont get why cant we just play like we did in the first minutes consistently.

The variance of our playstyle annoys me so much considering the talent we have.

This looks like the same soft team as always.
