Anyone saying he shouldn’t take that shot has not paid any attention to the team.
Thurl kept trying to convince me of that, but I didn't see it.
You have to remember one of the tenets of Quins defense is our perimeter guys play with their hands behind their backs. We don’t really get close enough to foul. There was some really obvious ones they let slide.
except those 2 game winners were assisted catch & shoot, not off the dribble. He also should've taken that wide open three at the first attempt instead of passing it up with the shot clock expiring.
Give me a break. He got off a clean look over a smaller defender… I’m sorry the other two were catch and shoot shots but both were harder than the one he got tonight. Neither Mike or Donovan are able to get as clean of looks as he does consistently. Prolly the last thing to complain about tonight.
I don't get the Bogey clutch narrative. Bogey's got a couple of game winners but he also has had many games where he just disappeared in the clutch completely.
His lack of shooting is an issue for sure but as you said for about 10 minutes it could work. He actually attacked the space when teams sagged off and had some success the last 2 games. He looks like he can handle some contact around the rim and he has some touch for a floater. If he can do that consistently, his lack of shot isn't that fatal for limited minutes.
yep, which proves my point. Bogey only takes shots when those shots were there for him. he doesn't really force things like Donovan or Clarkson often do.
Lol u see 5 ppl seeing 1 thing and u something different right?
forrest is proving Quin right with his performance in the last couple of games. He's going to be a legit rotation player in this league if he keeps it up.
He had one ill advised shot and one awful turnover. The issue is the guys sagging off him and not rotating to him. The more he plays the more teams are aware. He has to be as disruptive as he was tonight to justify playing time. I think it’s in there… but I need to see it consistently or he’s not an nba player.
Ummmm not really… he took that shot because it was there for him and it’s about as cleans look as you will ever get at the end of the game… it just rimmed out this time. I’m sorry he didn’t force some ****** 20% shot and took one where he’s likely somewhere between 35-40% on.
Its a much much bigger issue that we couldnt score for almost 4 minutes straight before Bogey hit a huge 3 to get us close. His last look was not the best shot but it was decent shot and almost went in. We also had a really good chance for the tip in off of it.
The narrative exists because stats back that up over his career. He does disappear at the end of games sometimes, but that is his teammates and possibly coaching fault not his. If no one passes him the ball or the coach doesnt draw up anything for him then he cant do much. When given the chance he is solid in those situations. Having a bad shooting game or missing sometimes in the Clutch happens to ever player. Even the greatest clutch players of all time had that a lot.
what have you seen exactly? like when Bogey hit 1 of 9 on Monday against the Lakers, a game which we only lost by 6, meaning had he hit three of his nine shots could've tied the game.
