Why wouldn’t we run cade/ivey/grimes/font/duren? In theory the twin towers shouldn’t be able to guard that. Just weird all weird.

Stew's been our best player tonight and everyone trying to get him off the court and out of the starting lineup. Our bench guys have been horrible 1-14 tonight.

Ausar has turned the corner on those corner threes which is huge. He's got to be close to 33% there over the past month or so. He had a toe on the line on his first one or he'd be 2-2 tonight from deep.

If it weren't for Stew's shooting we'd be shooting 3s like the Bulls did last game against us.

I’ll admit I haven’t been watching, but usually when I do, stews threes are always wide open, no one coming out to him, paint still clogged, even if he hits them. So that’s just what I was picturing, him getting no respect even tho he’s hitting. Idk if that’s what’s going on or not

We have multiple people on the team this applies to. He actually hits his tho.

Ausar's shooting is really coming along! Two threes so far this game and one with a toe on the line which would've been his third.

Only other guy I can think of would be ausar. I guess maybe Ivey/cade/font/grimes don’t get respect

He had it in the summer league. It just seemed like a mental block or confidence thing.

Grimes takes a lot of poor 3s... contested threes not in rhythm of a catch and shoot. I'm less excited about him after seeing him a few games hopefully he isn't always like this and learns what's a good shot and what's a shot you pass up for a better shot.

bstein14 · Post #53 » by **bstein14** » Sat Mar 2, 2024 2:10 am

Font with two back breaking TOs as we try to get back in this.

Yeah that’s what worried about him, when we acquired him. I suspect that’s his game, but hopefully he can learn to play within the game

Duren's free throw shooting has gotten a lot better.

I’ve been saying it for weeks. It’s super smooth.

Hopefully it gives him confidence to stretch his range.

Considering the heater Garland was on we played this game decent.

Mr Peanut · Post #59 » by **Mr Peanut** » Sat Mar 2, 2024 2:23 am

Somewhat disappointing loss given our competitiveness recently and Cavs missing Garland/LeVert. Feels like we were actually the better team for the majority of the game but that 5 minute period in the second quarter where Garland and Wade shot us out of the game was tough to come back from.

Ivey's outside shooting was fairly brutal. Ausar was impressive and his three point shooting development is good to see (have erased the late airball from my memory). Stew played well. The whole bench was forgettable.

bstein14 · Post #60 » by **bstein14** » Sat Mar 2, 2024 2:25 am

Cade with 10 assists and just 1 TO he just didn't score the ball well in the 4th.

Stew with a great game. Ausar was great but was timid to shoot a 3 that wasn't a corner three when he needed to take that shot and he knew it.

Cade & Ivey combined for 3-17 from deep.

The bench was just flat out awful.
