Saddiq ....step in a little.

His shot looks so flat to me. Seems really susceptible to sporadic shooting as we've seen.

Jones on Murray like a great Dane on a poodle.

Talk about foreshadowing.

I cant see the game but I'm following the box score.  Who was ( or wasn't) guarding Murphy in the 1st half?

Murray's difficulty is he can't pass anybody open. Not much anticipation in setting up players to be ready to shoot. Everything is reacting to what the defense is doing to him.

Not Trae ..

DJM is soo bad as PG. Whoever told him that he can play that position is clueless

This is a sublety casual observers miss.  He can make obvious passes or reactionary passes.  But he lacks vision and skil to truly run an offense fulltime.

Not meant as a "criticism", more like a critique/observation.

Another defensive breakdown from Garrison Matthews. He's either slow on rotations, getting back cut or, he's taking the wrong angle when defending on ball.

He's not a PG from a facilitator standpoint. He's a slasher / scorer with handles so we call him pg but I mean, he's a career 5.1 ast and only 1 season avg over 7.0.

I love the way this team plays D without Trae. But offensively, it's so ass. Ugh!

[hawkman]

Zion has a crazy handle for his size and position.
