First off…fantastic start. Couldn’t script it better besides the Atlanta debacle and we just never win in Toronto.
My biggest peeve is fouling as shooters come off a curl or screen for a tough shot as they fade.
Jaden is getting whistled a lot early on this season turning a likely miss into free throws for the other team.
Is it me or are we doing this more because of our aggressiveness to our #1 defensive rating? It needs to stop, those are tough shots that end up with gimme points.
Honestly the reddit fans
When we start to press too hard, and start to play too quick. I feel like this is where we start to make mistakes and get out of bread and butter. I look at Kat a lot in this, he starts to try to hit home runs and win the game every play. He starts to rush more and then gets frustrated. When he slows down and lets the game come to him, the elite Kat comes out.
Terrible free throw shooting.
When we are in the bonus we still don’t have the self awareness to attack the basket and take advantage of it. Particularly, in the Celts game we were in the bonus by mid 4th and I swear it’s like nobody is aware of it and we jacked up a lot of 3s and midrange when a few hard drives with Porzingis in foul trouble would of put that game away.
4th quarter game management if anything. I love ANT, but the guy can take some early shot clock 3’s when we have the lead that make me scratch my head.
