[Bondy] Quentin Grimes was openly frustrated with his role just now. Said it’s tough to find a rhythm when he rarely touches the ball, stands in the corner and gets subbed out after missing one shot.

I mean folks, where’s the lie?

He’s passed up many goods looks this season though
iTanto
He ain’t liein. Maybe Caruso can do the Thibs shit well

You know if you made a shot… that would help not getting subbed out.

I mean on one hand I do get this. It’s completely true that just being expected to make 3s midgame when you’re totally cold is a hard spot to be in.
That said, Grimes has been frequently passing the ball almost right away when he gets it. While you could say that he should get it passed back, that’s not really how this offense works. He needs to do something with it as soon as he sees an opening.

I’m sorry man but it’s on you to make fucking plays and hit your shots.
dvrwin
Because when he did get his opportunities he continuously bricked shots and when he hits he’s too inconsistent.
He’s not an NBA level SG. Sorry.

He knew what his role was from last season. Why was everyone expecting to get more touches this season, first JHart now him. He should’ve worked on sporadic corner threes this off-season when he was shooting with JJ Reddick. The corner 3s and spot up 3s actually allow him to rest on offense because he will be doing that work on defense.

Grimes is shooting 36% on 6 shots per game. Considering most of his shots are wide open corner 3s, this is terrible. He should stfu and work on getting better. What’s he doing on offense besides bricking open shots to get more touches?

ive seen grimes get looked off a few times and i understand the frustration, but at the same time when he gets the ball hes not doing anything with it. last year we saw him attack closeouts, move around for open looks a little, this year hes been so content with shooting with hands in his face and on the occasion that he does drive its been a negative. if he wants to find a rhythm hes gotta do better when he gets the ball, you see donte making himself active and known on both sides and thats why we flow better with him, grimes you forget is on the court at times. not saying this out of negativity, but maybe he should get with the bench where he’ll get a bit more touches

He needs to develop some sort of driving or mid range game to get into rhythm when the 3s aren’t falling. Being a starting NBA SG and having absolutely no bag on offense is unacceptable. Our ball movement tonight was putrid, but we’ve been sharing the rock well until tonight and grimes hasn’t really done much to warrant more looks.

I just know that Divincenzo gets more shots with fewer or the same minutes as Grimes, not sure if it’s cause the different lineups they play in or cause Grimes just doesn’t put himself in good positions and passes up shots
The_Notorious_Donut
He’s right Thibs gameplan is frustrating but also my guy what else can you do
damnwesuck
Bro needs to cut and move more. I feel like he got in his head cause the Knicks signed DVV and instead of going out there and fighting for his minutes he’s just sucking it up
Wild_Particular4003
Grimes getting the Obi treatment damn. What happened

Nab bro Grimes is playing SCARY. Bro gets looks that any other 3&D in this league would not hesitate to launch — and he just passes it. He has zero confidence and if he thinks he’s going to somehow get that confidence back by waiting for Thibs to run plays for him — he’s completely delusional. He deserved to be benched last week once Donte showed what it could be like. I was so high on Grimes coming into this season and he’s been by FAR the biggest disappointment. Whats good wit Lavine?
icebucket22
This is a product of the offense, it’s every man for himself out there. But.. if DDV can get shots then so can QG.

Gimes 🤝 Mitch complaining about touches while having no offensive game outside of one skill.
His usage has been basically the same as last year. In fact he’s been passing up more shots this year it seems.

Grimes u can come on down to the Celtics. Letting guys like Derrick white take pull up 3s like curry don’t see why u won’t get that same opportunity.
RoadToTI420
He’s a horrible fit for Thibs’ offense, love Grimes for what he brings as a POA defender and hustling but it’s starting to feel like the fit isn’t there right now. He is 100% a rhythm guy at this juncture but he won’t get those opportunities w/ our current system and roster. I don’t know if it’s him or the system but he absolutely defers to others on open looks consistently and it’s getting irritating, especially when he ends up bricking the ones he finally decides to take.
I know he has it in him to be a decent offensive player somewhere, just frustrating to watch him regress this year.
