I get that AJ's two game-winners prolly juiced expectations a bit TOO much; but , man, the rookie wall isn't supposed to last 9 months. (Killin' it as always, Brad.)
Brad, you are the man!
Quinn has a lot of decisions to make… We may be just overthinking it and it is what it is.
It looked to me like you said he tried to run some sets through Bey like he does JJ so that his Guards and SF are available to threaten the defense. But it was short-lived due to Bey's inability to deliver that pinpoint pass as your boy said in your last two segments.
That action never materialized and it looked like Quinn said OK. We will just put that away for now and try something else. I think he ended up going through Trae more than he wanted. Although the offense still had some flow. I don't think it's what he wanted because the ball stuck a lot on one side of the court way too often after that. Which in my mind is what led to the slow offense to start the 3rd.
I would love to see the adjustments he makes moving forward because this was one of the better Defenses and I think he saw a lot.
Maybe he tries to see if Hunter can run those sets instead.. Or Bey just gets better at executing the sets.
We will see.
But I'm loving the Defense and the Effort in that end
Brad, I noticed Trae did a lot less off-ball schemes today. Is off-ball offense not going to be optimal with Clint as our big?
I’m not that pressed about Bey but OO has grown and he has proven to be a contributor, either OO is going to get stonewalled by Capela or I am deathly afraid of the “Capela falls off a mountain scenario.” Hope they can get a cheaper extension on Okungwu at least.
