Of course he does. Just like JJJ and Kennard do for OKC. You saw them feed it and you saw us feed Mike. Notice feed doesn’t always mean force the ball. It can and does happen in the flow of the offense.

But if two people have the Hot Hand who do you feed? How many shots do they have to miss before their hands get cold?


The open one, and usually two or three.

Rudy has 6 blocks with 5 minutes remaining. His best swats of the season.

So you lose the game by letting them miss 3 in a row. Got it.
Honestly if they miss 2 or 3 their hands weren't all that hot in reality.

You telling me you wouldn’t run the offense for Kennard and JJJ tonight if you are Taylor Jenkins?

Ant with a no no no YES 3. JJJ is just bullying his way to the basket every time he gets the ball. Stop that guy.

This is a W. We took care of business. Better late than never. We might even cover the spread. Probably not. It was probably 20 or close to it.

Crazy thing is that it hasn't been like Rudy Gobert is defending him poorly, Jaren Jackson Jr. is just on a heater.

I think we were 6/21 from 3 in first 3 quarter and then didn't miss a single 3 in this 4th quarter...made all 6 of 6 attempts

He'll say we let a horrible Memphis team hang around all night and it was an embarrassment.

Notice how Gobert seal his man to create the driving lane for Ant. Gobert must had at least 3 such assist tonight.

Rudy was out of position for some of it because guys were getting beat and he had to help. JJJ has played out of his skull, but not all of it was against Rudy and not all of it was him getting the best of Rudy.

Can you believe we are winning the game by 15?
