How are we shooting so poorly from 3 with a lineup of Book, KD, Beal, Gordon, Allen?

It has to be mental.

Instead of letting it fly players are tentative and lack confidence.

Hmmmm... PG didn't even look like he thought he got fouled.

There was no foul there, lol. He was like... half a foot away.

Lol.

They found 0.2 seconds on a foul that Booker didn't even commit.

Weak call.

What happened to the days when refs were loathe to call fouls that late in the quarter? Still a pretty low IQ moment from Book to foul PG with time running out.

Seems like if you foul someone on a shot that wouldn't have counted because of the clock, they shouldn't get free throws.

Aside from that more dreadful perimeter defense. Beal can't hit an open 3 to save his life. Allen not really getting any shots and the bench still nowhere to be found.

He is missing because he isn't focused on the basket and instead focuses on trying to draw a foul. He then, when he doesn't get the call, is slow to get back on D because he spends the next 5 seconds complaining and then immediately gives the ref an earful on the next dead ball, assuring he won't get the call in the future either. He is not playable if he's going to pout. The times he has been good this year are when he tries on defense (he's still bad on that end when he tries but not apocalypitcally bad) and isn't like this. He has been pouting to refs since Q3 of last game.

He needs a **** spanking.

This is what some Portland fans warned about.

He likes to pout and his attitude is piss poor if he doesn't get his way. How many more games till he mentally checks out completely?

Bro seriously stfu. Your Deandre Ayton boner is showing still. Regardless of limitations Nurk has not shown one ounce of quit.

Meanwhile your boy is still out with" knee tendinitis" lol.

Let's see if this team has enough pride to even make this a game. I'd bet my life on no

I didn't see him touch PG there on any of the replays. He came close to his elbow, but it looked like he cleared it by a couple inches at least.

Yeah I honestly don't think he made contact with arms or body at all. I think first contact was with feet after 0.0

Answer: No rhythm to the offense particularly vs better opponents.

Every single time they get frazzled they go right into iso and endless high screening to nowhere.

I didn't see a foul there, but I'm watching on my phone.Looked to me like time expired before George got "fouled"..Looked as if KD may have got him on the wrist after the buzzer.Didnt see much contact with Book.

I think this is an easy dub if we had Bol Bol.

Post #75 » by **Qwigglez** » Tue Jan 9, 2024 5:24 am

How is Harden complaining about that :lol:

AtheJ415 · Post #76 » by **AtheJ415** » Tue Jan 9, 2024 5:24 am

First possession of the 4th KD has a mismatch but nonchalantly refuses to attack it and passes to Beal, who passes to corner, then back to Beal. 4 passes without a purpose eating up 18 seconds of clock. Then Beal hoists a bad look off last second penetration on a ball KD wanted back.

KD now being much more aggressive (probably b/c we didn't give him the ball back on possession 1).

AtheJ415 · Post #77 » by **AtheJ415** » Tue Jan 9, 2024 5:25 am

How on earth was KD not shooting there?

grumpysaddle · Post #78 » by **grumpysaddle** » Tue Jan 9, 2024 5:26 am

Refs gift PG free throws, but then Durant doesn't get FTs for an obvious shooting foul. Get f*cked refs.

Maze · Post #79 » by **Maze** » Tue Jan 9, 2024 5:27 am

They give George that ticky tack phantom call at the end of the 3rd, but KD didn't get fouled in the acto of shooting? Even the Clippers announcers are calling bs on that one.

AtheJ415 · Post #80 » by **AtheJ415** » Tue Jan 9, 2024 5:27 am

KD gets Coffey switched onto him and we have Beal dribble for like 9 seconds against Kawhi. Like why is KD not getting that ball? Our offense is idiotic.
