He's ramping up for the playoffs. He's probably playing at 20% right now. I guess they think Harris at 100% is better than what Jett or Caleb could give.

I think jf Harris was 100% it would be a hard decision on who goes to the bench when Suggs comes back. One of Cole, Harris, or Black will be out of the rotation.

Harris wouldn’t give us 100% during the playoffs last season, why exactly do we think he’s going to just ramp up to 100% this time?

Only way magic can win this is if they magically summon some shooting somehow. And get back to elite defense. I don't expect a win unfortunately. Well see

We beat them last season at home. But I think everyone was injured for that team.

Who is the alternative?

Mosley trusts Gary defensively (90th percentile defensive EPM) in ways he simply doesn't (and shouldn't) trust Jett right now (7th percentile defensive EPM).

And it's not like Jett has been lighting it up as a shooter to justify more minutes either. Gary has slumped all year and is still shooting better from the 3PT line on the season than Jett is.

Gary has attempted 66 3s while Howard has attempted 138. Jett has made double the amount that Harris made. Jett can’t defend a cone but at least he tried to help on offense. Gary is unavailable half the time and knowing that we need his offense, still decides not to shoot.

Jett should be getting all of Harris minutes. We know what we have and don’t have with Harris.

AB’s low minutes last night make some sense now. Keep him rested to take on a bigger role tonight against Morant.

Greg McQuitter sounds like a pseudonym for an online troll.

Wendell passed up the open shot from the FT line and then threw it out of bounds. He's done that a few times.

Man, I remember posting about Edey when he was a projected second round pick 4 years ago. Should have promised to take him with one of those seconds that we traded for nothing

I'd like to see them get KCP around 8 3-pt attempts.
