Credit the 2nd unit, they're playing good defense.

DWhite doesn't need much help apparently lol.

Pritch has to yell out to White when a guy is running behind to double. Nearly cost us a possession.

PP and Hauser are in front of their man.

That's good defense.

Raps not getting any open looks because the Cs are working hard on defense.

I was trying to type as it happened but Payton can make and create shots for others and always spaces the floor.. He is still a threat to make shots.. Sometimes the threat you can't measure in a box score..

Nice recreation for Sam Houser on that 1..

Everybody learns that on the playground - BEHIND YOU, WATCH OUT!

Not enough with how everyone gets to score against him the other end, or how we have to be in rotation because of him. Opponents not even keying in on him on defense yet.

Good timeout by Joe.

Mannnnn we always let teams hang around a little too quickly.

The Raptors were scrambling because of Schroder's gamble. Nice job by Pritchard to find the open guy but I wouldn't say he created the shot.

I disagree overall but your take is still a reasonable one..

Caruso is a definite upgrade over PP, but the price will be too high.

I think there's no one out there the Cs can afford that will be an upgrade over PP.

Delon Wright will not be an upgrade over PP.

Gimme more aggressive JT and we win

Jaqua92 · Post #196 » by **Jaqua92** » Tue Jan 16, 2024 2:31 am

I had a bad feeling about this one when we were up 6 when shooting 56% to their 39%.

This one feels like it could get away from us if the boys don't lock it in.

BK_2020 · Post #197 » by **BK_2020** » Tue Jan 16, 2024 2:32 am

Why did Pritchard turn down the wide open shot

Fencer reregistered · Post #198 » by **Fencer reregistered** » Tue Jan 16, 2024 2:32 am

All aspersions against their play notwithstanding, Kornet and Pritchard have the highest +/- on the team.

And I have always stated I would trade Payton Pritchard who I like a lot for Caruso if it was possible.

Just don't think anything is possible to upgrade..

Please take PP out now.
