To be fair, this is basically Winslow’s sophomore season. He’s gonna make errors. I just wish people had more patience and focused on the improvements and the tangible things he does bring, rather than the moments of fragility.

My comment was absolutely not a shot at Bam. He’s looking terrific, and could prove to be an inspired pick by Chet Kammerer and the FO. I want him taking those open 15 footers all day.

Dragic also airballed a shot and it was crickets. Look, not making excuses for it but you're fighting a losing battle with this one. People have their player agendas set in stone.

I feel it's a little disingenuous and misleading to mention Dragic, period. I'm open to discussion about Justise and his improvements and flaws.

Oh I know! You wanted a reason though and I just wanted to provide an answer. He really wore my patience thin, lately. But these last two games have been pretty good. I'm not liking the fit with JJ but Justise seems to make it work when he's in the game with him.

There were 3 players that put up the same shot that netted the same result but one bore the lion's share of criticism, there's nothing disingenuous about pointing that out, as I said its just a result of the player agendas that are already in place here.

It's an outlier for two of the three players and happens enough to the third that there's confirmation bias developed. Every time it happens so it feels like it's every game he does this in the limited amount he takes. There may be agendas, but I don't believe it's based off of a few airballs.

It does push the conversation of what he's actually good at or improved at, out the window. A complete overshadow.

There is no "may" about it lol. Player A misses a shot and here comes the negativity, from yourself included. Player A makes a shot, silence from the same people..not even a positive remark. That's what I mean by agendas and why Wiltside was fighting a losing battle.
