I appreciate PJ for being a dawg and helping our guys but someone on the team needs to call him out too. We can’t win if he pump fakes or plays hot potato any time he gets the ball in the corner wide open

He can’t yell at Niang to shoot those 3s if he also is scared to as well 😌
Right now one of our biggest issues is we’re playing 4 on 5 on offense and sometimes 2 on 5 on defense (with maxey, harden and niang on the floor).
​
Nobody cares about PJ’s pump fake and drives. Him playing hot potato to reset the possession with 12 seconds left is equally as frustrating. PJ HAS to have a green light and bomb it away when Celtics are disrespecting him, like he did in the last regular season matchup vs them
He played like he was terrified last game
He definitely needs to let that thang fly. Even if he’s shooting 33% he just needs to let it fly. Because by the time the ball hits him in the corner, the shot clock is usually down to like 6 seconds, and then if he passes it back out whoever catches the pass has to scramble and take a low percentage shot anyway. Love PJ and love what he brings to the table, but his game isn’t complete without the corner 3.
Bro is just Ben Simmons if he doesn’t shoot lets be real.
I think that weird stat where we’re like 11-1 or something when he doesn’t attempt a shot gets to his head. If he’s wide open he simply needs to shoot it
I thought he was way better the George’s niang. I was so upset when he passed up that 3.
Doc needs to play Melton more of his minutes. I’ll take Marcus Smart backing Melton down for a tough 2 all day. But the offense and defense Melton provides I think will be better than the all defense PJ is playing.
Yeah Joel or Doc need to get into him the way he gets into othef guys about defense. He has to pull the trigger when he has an open look.
Also can’t give him a pass for losing his composure and getting caught retaliating in front of the ref. Very undisciplined game all around, but especially from PJ.
Him hitting 1-2 corner threes is going to improve spacing. I really hope someone on the team gets in his ear for once.
PJ is doing exactly what we wanted. I have no complaints. We could use 2 more of him.
This is y’all guy
In general it felt like the whole team was reluctant to shoot last night. Led to a lot of sloppy possessions and bad shots as the shot clock was expiring. Need more decisiveness.
Seems like the sixers had 1 play with good ball movement all game and they scored an open corner 3. And then decided to never do it again.
Heat fan here, PJ’s entire time with us last season boiled down soley to dog defense, and corner 3’s. I’m surprised you guys aren’t running more plays to get him the corner shot, but while watching your game yesterday did see him opt out of a couple 3’s so I’m honestly confused what’s happening with him offensively
