Good Lord, Amir, could you not here Brad yelling "UP! UP!"

Three points three points three points, thank you jaylen.

Wow what a move by Jaylen.  Just exploded in half court and took it right down against 4 Grizzlies and side stepped Gasol for a beautiful layup.

Boy, is that Brad yelling? He seems ticked!

1-15 from 3.  If we're 5-15, which is still below average for what we'd shoot on average for the year, this is a 2 point game.   Hopefully the averages even out in the second half.

It seems they are resorting to shooting threes because they have no one outside IT who can consistently take it to the basket. Once a defense knows you aren't driving, it's a huge disadvantage.

I mean, maybe they are.  But they average 31 threes a game on the season, so taking 15 in a half is nothing unusual.  Normally they score 1.06 points per possession when they take a 3, so that's a pretty effective shot.  First half today, not so much.  Second half has gone better.  I'm inclined to attribute it to randomness.

I wasn't talk is out whether the 3 ball is effective, clearly not in this game, but about why they do it. I do not miss Turner, but he was at least be capable of driving or the paint.

I know.  My point was if they're making over 35% of their 3's on a high volume of shots, it hasn't overall proven to be a disadvantage on offense.

OK fair enough.  So this is who they are...pretty one dimensional and a bit boring if you ask me.

Jaylen Brown isn't a good NBA player yet, but it's really easy to see how he will be before too long.

I understand that Boogie would solve all of our issues, but for the love of god if he comes he comes. It so annoying to read Boogie mentioned in every other post. At this point and time it's a pipe dream

[jpotter33]

God, IT is so good.

We have to get another scorer to help him. Boogie would literally, not figuratively - literally, solve virtually every problem that we have.

Still wanna bench him?

I mean, I never wanted to bench him. lol

I've consistently said we should bring BRADLEY, not IT, off the bench. It'd give us more scoring in the second unit and better overall defense and size in the first unit. Smart would help out with the ball-handling and let IT work off the ball, too, which he is excellent at.

I've always said we need IT's scoring in the first unit, especially his iso offense.

Just let Jaylen Brown get his NBA legs under him.  He'll start collapsing defenses before too long, and it will be a little less boring.
