To start the half, he missed an open 3, and open elbow jumper, and had a turnover in which he made the 3 but stepped out of bounds. Each possession in between, the Celtics scored. And the floodgates opened, and that was the game. The whole team played rather poorly and missed shots. But, if Suggs is going to be the starting shooting guard, he can't pull a Gary Harris every night when it comes to wide open jumpshots.
The shooting is concerning but there are a lot of other signs that he is nowhere near where we hoped for him to be (offensively). His handle is average at best but the thing that is really concerning me is the constant rejections at the rim. He is not getting by anyone and is not making the right read when bigs come to help in the paint. He is throwing awful shots up with little chance they go in. There is no creativity once he sees a big at the rim.
Agreed, such a bad sequence.
We were in the game, so I really was upset to see that, but it's going to take sequences like that to learn from so I settled down.
The team the 2nd half of the year would do that, but it mattered less because we weren't in the game.
FYI, I had to watch/listen to the BOS telecast, they were pretty complementary on our players.
Scalabrine might be one of the best color commentators in the league. Really knowledgeable and impartial.
