No Jump Shooters

Agreed with that.  Hope he sticks with it against Wisconsin. 

Maybe losing all his playing time to Stevens will wake up Lowery and he'll finally have a good game. We'll need all hands on deck.

[Jockey]

Can't shoot 3s and can't make layups.

Please God, don't let them shoot from midrange. I'll turn my TV off if they start making 10 footers.

Does Shaka recruit a kid with a real mid range jumper or a kid strong enough to hit a three with a jumper?  Not that I have seen, hard to believe.  As good as Ross is, he would be unstoppable with a jumper!

it was never mentioned in the past...imagine if Oso had a face-up midrange jumper? 😉

I forgot the exact words, butCoach made a comment after the game that when things were going badly in the first half some players were showing some signs of brain fog or something like that.  He said that when that happens it's time to sit and watch.

Of course he didn't name names, but I assumed   he was referring to Lowery. At the game we were wondering if he had some injury or illness that was keeping him out.

I would expect Lowery to be back in the starting lineup tomorrow as long as he showed in practice that he is ready to play.

SGA utilizes both the step-back, and stop and pop, inside of 17 feet.  And from all spots on the floor.   

We need an SGA

Shaka just needs to teach a couple of these guys to play like SGA.

Folks forget that Shaka benched Tyler Kolek - yes, the great Tyler Kolek! - several times in their first season together. Of course, TK wasn't really the great Tyler Kolek yet.

That SGA + 5 draft picks for PG3 trade didn't work out particularly well for the Clippers.  I believe Doc Rivers was the coach at the time.  Whooooops. 

SGA may wind up being a top 10 player of all time.  He doesn't appear to have any holes in his game.   He may not be highlight reel exciting, but he basically scores at will and rarely makes poor decisions.  I have zero answers how to defend the guy.

SGA must be playing off two feet.

SGA must be playing off two feet.

He does do that quite a bit. His fundamentals are 10/10.   He's also:  43% from 3, and 55% fgp.  60% efg. Uhhh.....that's a problem for those guarding him. 

[PointWarrior]

Sure better than a repeatedly missed 3 pt attempt.

A turnaround jumper from the elbow should be worth 3 points due to its importance

We need our players to be like SGA and fill all their holes

I have a golf pro, and you're not him.
Last year he told me to JUST SWING.
The best golf lesson I ever had.

My dermatologist is a very competitive, trophy winning, national bowler.  I asked him for his secret.  He said relaxing is the key to good bowling.

So, could the key to good basketball shooting be to relax?

Will our guys tomorrow be relaxed?  I sure hope so.

Yes, everyone should be welcome to their opinion here on the scoop, or not?
