Can we just run some Reed and whoever pnr please?

 

It's abundantly clear Reed has an infinitely better feel for the ball handler position than Amen does.

 

we've been doing that 3pt defense all season.

its so bad

stop defending 3s from behind

 

his conditioning is still not up to par I think bench is best

 

Zion ate skinny Zion fast

 

Good to see Amen is filling in for Dillion Brooks bone head last second close out three pointers to make it 4pt play..

 

senguin shouldn't have done that.

The reffs are going to swallow their whistles if he keeps doing that

 

Splash

 

So she goes big and you go small?

 

Reed is such a deadly weapon..

99% of the time he isn't going to miss a 3 ...3x in a row

and during an offensive dry spell that's so deadly

 

Glad Reed made that, but I'd like to see Holiday not hesitate and just swing the ball so that he catches it in rhythm...

 

Any shot Reed gets within the offense, when he can square up and shoot it in rhythm, he nails.

it‘s those broken down Jabari dribbles for 10 seconds going nowhere pass out to Reed type of shots that he‘s missing.

Unfortunately we seem unable to get him any open shots which is frustrating

 

honestly I never saw that for Amen. I wanted. Him tk more focus on his scoring game and taking advantage of of his matchups. Seeing the nugget guard him with Jokic successfully really bothered me. That’s the bigger area for amen to grow imo. He need to either become a better perimter shooter(jsut hit the wide open 3’s for the corner) or become a better iso player with all his Agility and athleticism.


If something happens to Kd, you would hope amen can step up to fill that void but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have my doubts. Like I’d expect more outta Reed and Jabari honestly

 

I like to think Holiday was trying to milk extra second to give them less time but yeah Reed is our best shooter but somehow they always double think before passing the ball to him

 

I can't remember the last time that Reed has missed a corner three

 

I don't get it...All season there's been multiple times when guys (mainly Adams and Jabari) have the ball inside in a crowd and have open shooters on the perimeter but will go up in traffic instead of kicking it to the open guy...these aren't even difficult passes...sometimes there's open guys right by them...

 

yea I just commented on that. He has 4 misses just trying to bail people out

 

what the **** jabari

 

Lol

 

Bustari once again trying to throw the game...
