I have to say Jokic is the most unguardable player I have ever seen. Dude has an array of awkward shots that looks stupidly hard but he makes them. Solid 3pt shooter and elite vision so you can't even double him. It's actually much worse if you double or trap him.

He's guardable, we just have a ****** game plan. We got outworked in this one and QS got handily out-coached. Just terrible defensive sets from the beginning.
 
I have decided that it is too nice a day to sit inside and watch us get our *** kicked... gonna skip the second half... so when we come back y’all can thank me.

We've gotten just as good of looks from 3 as they have. Switch the percentages and we're up 30

He is actually slow as hell. We sag off on him at the three when he’s a good shooter. We started the game with Bogey on him (lol). Gobert just can’t guard him he gets abused.

I think Quin made a mistake starting Rudy on Millsap but this is a reach. They shot over everyone and Jokic is unguardable. Rudy actually does well on him, excluding this game.
 
I don't understand why we don't foul Jokic hard. Use Favors or Morgan to plant his big *** on the ground. Jokic is a very emotional guy. Rattle him. First half, he just cruised.

I guess the bright spot is its not a nationally broadcast game. We sometimes lay eggs like this on the largest platforms.

LMAO.

QS got handily out-coached because he didn't tell his team to also shoot 90% from 3?

Yeah apparently that's all you can see. We did nothing to take the 3 away. Our perimeter D has been pathetic, and we made zero adjustments in the first. If they had been shooting their normal percentage we would have been down 20 instead of 27. Still down.

You might want to watch some basketball and try thinking beyond "OMG DEY NEBBER MISS".

I’d be a very good coach... would tell my teams to shoot 100% and to try and make the other team shoot zero percent. Quin sucks.

lol what?

If they had been shooting their normal percentage, that would be 7/19 from 3. 8 fewer 3's. 24 fewer points.

We would literally be winning.

No actually we're not. We are not missing at an all-time rate. We are on our normal averages, which is generally best in the NBA. Our defensive plan sucked from the get-go and our effort has been ****. And Quinn is terrible at in-game adjustments. That's the 30.

Millsap shot pretty bad this season. I think Rudy as help like Dallas game sounded enticing. Millsap punished that.

He is slowish but he can run PnR and get to his spots easily. If nothing is working and he is denied, he posts up.

I think the last few possessions Rudy guarded him close and They got easy baskets over Conley and Mitchell. It's a gamble with this team.

This. At least run some traps or something. Something to shake it up. But Quinn doesn't do adjustments like that.

Give me reasons why YOU think Mitchell has such poor BBIQ and I will show you it's the exact same thing done by other great modern day players.

You set the goalposts asshat

I can show you Ben Simmons making a 3, does that make him a great three point shooter? Obviously not. Short anecdotes mean nothing. A player demonstrates high/low BBIQ with a total body of work.

Joe Ingles has a ton of bad turnovers, but it's very obvious that he is a smart basketball player. He makes the game so much easier for himself and his teammates through his decisions. That's why Joe Ingles is a good player, it's not raw talent like Mitchell. Mitchell excels because he can overwhelm his opponents with talent and ability.

If Mitchell was a great decision maker, he'd be one of the elite players in the league because there aren't many guys as talented as him.
 
Also, I have been tough on Royce all year but damn he has been playing amazing the last few games.
