I wonder if we are playing too many guys significant minutes.  And Duncan Robinson was not even in the lineup.  I know they want to reward Jenkins and Green for what they did earlier this year.  But at some point, we are going to need to live or die with Ivey.  

Also, Cade's three point shooting this year is becoming something to watch.

I would get ready for a lot of zone in the playoffs.  

With the speed this team can put on the floor all they need to defeat a zone is....(checks notes)  spacing...

30% of his shots are a shot he only makes 30% of the time.

Everyone wants to score from three and at the rim in today's game.  Cade shoots below average from both locations.

When you're trying to replace your only pure shooter in the lineup, the answer is Lanier, not Jenkins. It doesn't matter that he's a rookie, he's just a qualified as a 2-way player and they're basically the same age. it's all about the archetype you're looking to replace.

And I like Jenkins, but he's a backup PG. His role is playing the 13 minutes Cade doesn't play. Let him cook against bench players and be a spark for the reserves. Let him grow into your Jose Alvarado..

I didn't think I would dislike LeVert this much. Even when he's playing well, his flailing limbs and head-down dribble make me seriously unhappy. In a game like this, it's infuriating. JB keeps going to him in the clutch and it's a terrible move. 

Two things can be true. We can lack shooting and also need to have Ausar in the lineup as much as possible. This team's best offense is defense and you don't have to fight the zone when you're in transition. Not to mention that a zone sucks for defensive rebounding so Ausar's offensive rebounding is very important. We were a huge net positive in his minutes just as we were in the playoffs last year when JB sat him. Play the man 30+ mpg!

About due for a Beasley post on IG.  Him saying, "I bet you're wondering why I'm eating these Better Made Chips and drinking this Vernors.  You'll find out soon"
