I think she was joking though.

That goes to show you who the coaching staff trusted to end it.
Let’s hope Allen keeps improving and gets even more minutes.
On the flip side, Levert is way too inconsistent to be considered anything close to a “3rd star”. If he can’t make shots consistently, he won’t be that valuable to this team.
I feel like our "3rd star" is on the shelf with a knee injury ngl. Spencer was going to figure it out and would have been a lethal weapon for us.
I think that LeVert needs to get back to driving into the mid range. He's settling for way too many threes. Put the ball on the floor and get into the paint.
At this point, the only wild reason I can fathom why Allen still isn’t starting (outside of politics) is that they believe Allen needs to be motivated in order to get constant improvement out of him lol. He’s played better and better in every game I’ve seen thus far. I thought he was great tonight. While he still drops the ball more than I’d like, he’s been more assertive on the offensive end and is passing better.Also, Allen needs to start. he's outplaying Jordan by a considerable margin and it's not even close.

He doesn't need to be a 38%-40% shooter to be good. He needs to focus on his strengths and take clean looks from three. I feel like he's settling and chucking instead of driving hard into the paint for the easy pull ups.

I disagree. NBA.com stats shows that through his 1st 4 games, Caris averages 15.5 drives per game, which is 12th in the league and 2nd highest for any bench player. (Derrick Rose is the only other bench player who averages more at 19 drives per game.) He attempts a shot on about half of those drives (7.5 FGAs) but only makes 46.7% of them, which sadly is still way better than his overall FG% and 3PT% of 39% and 31% respectively.
I think because teams know that driving to the basket is the only thing he does well, they are collapsing the paint when he drives the ball so he can’t get clean looks.
Teams are giving him open 3s because he can’t make them consistently.

Like tonight, how did we not see any Cheese action?
