I also thought Miami but I wondered if it’s possible to get him without including Bam?

So GWill is a DNP so far? As much as I hated his recent games, I wish Joe could have at least given him minutes just to show he still has confidence in him after last game’s meltdown. Grant’s confidence must be shattererd right now.

weird how jt and jb are consistently the most careless with the ball on the entire team.
I'd include Smart in that group in terms of carelessness with the ball

TOV/Game

jt 3.0
jb 3.1
ms 2.4
making my point - which I don't think is your intent

honestly, i wasn’t attempting to refute or make your point; just thought i’d post the stats, which i hadn’t reviewed prior to my original post.

to your point, it is very close but i’m not sure how to think about it since marcus is the pg and probably handles the ball more often. conversely, jt and jb do handle the ball quite often in a quasi “point forward” role in our offense, so i’m back to square one in not knowing how to interpret the TO stats.

i guess the above is a long winded way to say i agree that marcus is pretty careless with the ball as well. lol
TP for taking the time to explain your point

Getting a win today is more important than Grant’s confidence, though. Team is cooking right now.

+1, we are stuck with Grant for the rest of the season at least.  Please get something positive out of him Joe.

Saw something today about grant having issues with his right hand that makes it hard to clutch and hold things

According to The Athletic's Jared Weiss, Williams has been dealing with a ligament strain in his shooting elbow since Feb. 12. The Boston Celtics forward was listed on the team's injury report with right elbow swelling ahead of their Feb. 14 matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks but played through the ailment.

"Williams had to stop lifting heavy weights for several weeks, though he returned to his normal routine before re-aggravating the injury in practice before Sunday’s double-overtime loss to the Knicks in which he played 45 minutes. According to those sources, throughout this injury, Williams has experienced discomfort turning or grabbing with his right hand."

If we can keep it a 20+ lead just rest all our starters this quarter (and White)

Bill Kennedy is probably my favorite ref. I think he's a decent ref and is usually pretty fair with his treatment and rapport with players.

It’s more a Grant problem than a Joe problem. If Grant is being selfish and trying to put himself above the team and not doing what is asked of him from a role perspective, he should not play.

Sam Hauser is having a great game. He should get the Tommy Award.

I didn't realize he was injured.  So maybe that is all the explanation we need??
