I agree. Book as we all know doesn’t get a great whistle or a very inconsistent one at least. And like someone said, he does get a hot head and try to force things. Hopefully CP3 continues to rub off on him. Chris in crunch I feel like always makes the right decision.
What‘d I tell you? Easy peasy.Eh...It'll be over by halftime.
Yes they were aggressive and for the most part they were getting the correct calls. But fouls are fouls -- the other team is aggressive, but if we are fouled, they're still fouled, regardless of what it's like down on the other side of the floor.
Agreed with everything except for this. I thought he played quite well defensively (though obviously not up to Jae's level), including 3 steals. I don't remember every play but I thought he was more than solid on the defensive end.
Just made no sense to me, especially knowing that they eventually should be shelling out big contracts to Ayton and Cam Johnson.
CP3, Cam Payne, Cam Johnston, Crowder, McGee, Biyombo VS Shamet, Payton
Yeah he’s down to 38.5% from 3. He was around 42% a few weeks back. He was 11/22 tonight from 2 tonight. Kevin O’Conner from the Ringer said he should take more threes from an analytics perspective. I personally think if he gets 20-25 shots (Once DA gets back) he needs to take 6-8 threes a game unless he’s really feeling it from deep. Next year, after a longer offseason he can work on the 3 on higher volume. Focus on getting to the midrange and getting more Ft attempts.
He also takes a lot more shots when DA doesn’t play if you look at his splits. He’s the second leading scorer behind KD in the first quarter. I love Book but I would like to have better shot distribution. I know it’s easy to rag on Mikal but he took 8 shots last night in 35 minutes. Payton took 6 in 12 minutes. Mikal gets his points in the flow of the offense but I’d like to see us run more stuff for him since so much attention is paid to our backcourt. But it’s on Mikal to take advantage of his opportunities.
