Why don’t we see Mobley taking that shot more often? It was definitely in his bag during his rookie year and I feel like he’s shifted away from being a mid range jumper guy. The 3 isn’t there yet and he’s not strong posting up unless he’s already deep.

Like RealDeal pointed out- gotta be coaching. I think he hit the nail on the head.

Can we get the Mobley score posted in here? I was scrambling at that point and wasn't paying attention if they ran a set or it just happened organically through the players because JBB doesn't know what the fuck

It's been said every other game. RCF game thread posters live and die with what comes lately.

He simply needs better coaching from an offensive perspective. Why in the world do we start a 7 footer beyond the 3 point line and have him dribble into a mess is beyond me, and it keeps happening.

He needs to develop an effective Garnett like jumper though, then everything else will come easily.

This. He needs an effective jumper he can launch quickly and efficiently, and he needs to use his height to see over the defense and pass decisively. Not dribble around endlessly like he’s trying to be Steve nash or something

He didn't have to think. Just grab the ball, make one move, and shoot it. That's where he's at his best. I don't know why they don't do that more often.

Sucks that Neto won’t see any PT once garland comes back

A few more thoughts: killing Phoenix with our bench means their starters got tired at the end--and they missed key shots and didn't get rebounds.

They beat us in shooting, rebounds, assists and with fewer turnovers. How did we win?

They were 14-18 FT
We were 19-23 That's the game. 5 points
We were good enough in the other areas, and very clutch.

Games like tonight happen.

Right now the Bucks have only 77 points with 6 minutes to go.

What’s even better, their opponent, the shithead Raptors have only 65

If Raptors continue to bottom out, you could see them as big sellers this trade deadline, though don’t expect them to deal with the Cavs or another talented young East team.

If they move Siakam or OG, they’ll get far more in young players and picks than we have to offer

Fuck the raptors besides sixers my most hated team.

Which is stupid neto can play at least 5 to 8 min a game especially if cedi or levert is struggling which is not hard to notice

Scottie was 0-5 forever lol. Now 3-10

From my perspective, it just happened because Donovan drew so much attention

Mobley should definitely be getting his spots at the elbow more. He can hit that shot plus he has the vision to make a good pass too.

Watching Lopez totally ignore Scottie Barnes on the perimeter is very Okoro/Steven’s like.

Here are your game highlights. It'll be in there.

I think it was a designed play. Perhaps someone smarter knows for sure.

Have to call out JA here. If you watched the game, you don’t have to look at the box score to know he was awful. Terrible effort.
