    Both should keep shooting. But should also feel some pressure, if they keep shooting like this, something is gonna change. They have been shooting for too long with no pressure, no accountability and it doesn't help.

    I know you mean well with that emote, but please dont use it LOL. I mean they are playing zone and we got some pretty good looks. Our offense looks bad because are players are well.....young. Sengun just being a roll man/handoff man isnt enough, he needs to create openings by beating whoever is guarding him imo to break the zone.

    Simple, because Alpi cant shoot over Embiid. But Jabari has got to make his shots....his shooting is atrocious

    Best minutes, with Tyty, by far. Plays patient, smart, distributes the ball, moves with sense without the ball. And defended well.

    Tate has good handles for a forward but he's obviously not a PG. Silas is really... bad. I mean, it's hard to err every decision. Green would be much better next to Tyty. We didn't do anything offensively with the starting unit. Pass Sengun on the top and improvise a DHO/p&r's with bad spacing. Terrible. Nothing.

    Ha ha, I can't imagine Jabari if he makes shots, considering his self-confidence and entitlement with this level of play.

    I just realized that we are still the worst team in the league despite the Spurs losing 12 in a row. that is impressive

    Can't hate the hustle. Maybe Jalen can bounce back 2nd half.

    when has he shown that?

    he's shooting 39% from the field and 30% from 3 through 53 games. the sample size is a lot bigger than college.

    this year he didn't get that many touches. it just now he is getting something. yet Silas is not even running anything to play up Bari and Jalen strengths.

    does anyone remember Silas running bari off a screen to get him a shot to start the game for about 4 games? Bari was knocking those joints down without hesitation. not sure why we dont do that anymore.

    last two games, Green hasn't hit threes. The 2 games before that he hit 11-20 from three. Scorers are like this. Pressure is always on

    It’s Jabari. All your bricks are belong to Jabari.

    Jalen will at least give you one hot shooting night (for every 5 mediocre/bad games).

    We drafted the black Ryan Anderson. :D

    I said I was joking at the time but uhh….:eek:
