Donovan can take all the catch and shoot 3's he wants, but yeah the off the dribble stuff earlier in the shot clock peel it back a bit.
Come on man.
I have noticed that you call losses early in games somewhat often. We tend to win most of em and this is the hawks and the jazz are at home
The kings didn’t make us pay doe

The main reason they lost is they couldn't guard Schroeder. Why didn't they start to double down on him? They just continually stuck to single coverage and he would either get an open shot off of picks or blow by whoever guarded him. They should've stuck Donovan on him the second half, but DM only guarded him a couple times that I recall.My only real criticism of DM is that goddamned pump fake from 3. It. Doesn’t. Work.
Lol at the Mitchell hate today.

DM has had a huge workload this year with little help offensivley.
Fire away Spida.
He always comes out of his cave when the Jazz lose. He's not even a Jazz fan. It's wacky he even posts here.Worst part of this loss is PGAB posting in a non draft forum. Sad day.

Who do you want taking those shots? He took 28 shots last night. That’s not out of the realm of what he’s been doing night tonight you’re just mad they didn’t fall. He took the same shots he always does, some nights they don’t go in the hoop. It’s obvious both his teammates and coaches are probably not only fine with it, they likely ask him to do it. The kid does have a green light like no other rookie I’ve seen, and I’m fine with that.What? When have I done that? I was critical in the Pels game of dumb **** but I don’t think I said we were gonna lose.
Last night was more dumb ****. Mitchell likes to take dumb shots. I know it’s unpopular to say it but he does. Catch and shoot 3’s two feet beyond the line with someone on him. Semi out of control drives. Like that. His % were a concern for me coming out of Louisville and they still are.
This^ I’m not a fan of his strong *** pump fake. No one bites on it, and it shows he is hesitant to take that 3 or is thinking too much about the fact he’s been struggling from 3 lately. That being said, he still took 10 of them and he probably shouldn’t take more than that he just seemed less confident and they weren’t as natural.My only real criticism of DM is that goddamned pump fake from 3. It. Doesn’t. Work.
Them not being able to guard Schroeder was obvious all night, no one was quick enough. I would also say as much as I love DM he’s not like a lock down defender. He loses guys a lot, gets hung up on screens a lot, and isn’t quite as fast as a lot of guys it seems like. DM gives up a lot of wide open shots because he loses his guy. Even facing a guy up he doesn’t affect the shot much ever. He’s can get steals, jump high enough to block a guy here and there, but as far as his one on one defense it hasn’t been bad but it hasn’t been great either.The main reason they lost is they couldn't guard Schroeder.

No he took the same shots that have won games this season. You didn’t bitch about them then, you’re just bitching about them now because they didn’t go in. Down the stretch he went inside and couldn’t hit that floater or a layup. He had a rough night, he wasn’t wildly outside of what he’s done night in and night out and been praised for. You can’t “constructively criticize” something you were perfectly fine with when the ball rolled through the basket instead of off the rim.Holy ****, is everyone a complete ****ing Nancy and sensitive as **** and constructive criticism is no longer allowed? Get the **** over it. Mitchell takes dumb shots. He needs to work on this. I'm not too concerned as he's so young and seemingly, extremely coachable. But it's a legitimate criticism of him. And while I recognize that we have virtually no one else to create their own shots like he can and that he thereby is our main scorer by default (and by talent), it still doesn't excuse him from taking stupid ****ing catch and shoot 3's from far beyond the arc with a guy on him and 17 seconds on the shot clock. Just stupid as ****.
