Something is just off about the team. I mean how is Jaylen now having 3 straight quarters of having zero points. HUH??

Yay he made a FT!

We look so predictable. Everyone knows what we are trying to do on nearly every play.

What a dumb Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing shot.  Forget the 2 for 1.  Get a better shot.

[liam]

Those corner 3s are always so wide open.

[SCeltic34]

Denver wins that quarter 32 to 20 without Jokic.  This is the team that without Jokic is essentially one of the worst in the league.  Unacceptable.

Two bad shots are not better than one good one.

[radiohead]

Got a good lead and stopped playing. Oh well.

[Silas]

Terrible quarter....only 20 points.

Jaylen doesn't look right.  He looks like he is sick.  Not moving well, isn't into the game like he usually is.  Not sure what is going on.

[Phantom255x]

What worries me is when Tatum sits we look clueless on offense and can?t score. In the playoffs that?ll be a big issue.

We stop playing hard and fast and we become predictable and easy to guard.

Nice, guys. Let's take a super awful long pull up three to rush the two for one opportunity, all for us to not even get a last shot up.

This is such a frustrating, entitled team. We won the championship, and we feel like we don't have to play nearly as hard or as focused/smart as we did last year.

Wake me up in April. This team isn't worth watching right now. Way too inconsistent, and it may end up costing them a top two seed.

So that end of quarter three by Jrue is an example of a VERY stupid shot trying to get a 2 for 1. They inbounded the ball with 33 second left, at that point there's just not enough time to go for a 2 for 1. They got a long pull up three and then nothing out of the two possessions instead of just trying for a one good shot.

To make a two for one shot worth it you have to be running a play that gets you a good shot that hits the rim at about 32-34 seconds left, not inbounding with that much time left.

This is where both Tatum and Joe have to step up and be leaders like they're supposed to me and demand that the offense runs through Tatum much more often. I'm so tired of the equal opportunity offense, because more often than not it just leads to bad jumpshots or forced possessions. Tatum is the only one with the gravity and playmaking ability to consistently generate good looks for this group, and the stats clearly back that up.
