you're right about us having no one to really funnel those mins to with Jimmy and the Morris twin out. Martin bro isn't good and Struss is basically Dion Waiters. If he's hot lookout if he's not he's going to completely hijack the ball when he's in just throwing up bricks. I wish I felt confident about Duncan just shooting his way out of this but that dude seems mentally broken. He's putting up more shots now than he did the previous two years and alot of his shots aren't even close (I think he's had more air balls the last four games then I can remember in the previous two seasons.) I don't want to be wasting possessions in game trying to get him out of his funk like we did in the 4th of the Lakers game with all those DHO possessions that he kept playing hot potato with before reluctantly throwing up a thrash shot. Also if he's not going to make shots he better start rebounding better that sequence late in the 4th where we stopped them and he let the rebound bounce off his face right to PG he then walked him out to the 3pt line and drained a 3 in his face is unacceptable shit.
To be fair...the bolded is something plenty of people gave him shit about. He didn't shoot enough. We're 3 weeks into the season and he's been one of the best shooters in the league for 2 seasons. It will sort itself out. You're right about the other part but I'd bet his shooting funk is affecting him mentally in other facets of the game(where he wasn't really a standout to begin with).
the look on Duncan face when that 3 finally went down, is the same look every heat fan has had this season.
So is Spo cutting Dunc mins? He only played 26 last night and has played like 15 mins tonight? I wouldnt have expected that considering Tyler is out tonight.
Think the only concern would be the team suffering some injuries that force him into a starting role enough for him to not qualify for the award.
I dont even think its going to take an injury. If Duncan keeps stinking up the joint and the starters are getting off to slow starts, I can see Spo making the move when Dipo comes back and letting Dipo be the first man off the bench. He staggers his starters anyway so it's not like you can't still have a lineup with Duncan on the floor with Bam/Jimmy or Bam/Lowry to create open shots for Dunc to miss.
I appreciate that Spo tries to be consistent with his rotations but we get 3 fouls on KAT in first 7 mins of game you have to try and keep Bam on the floor imo
I dont think we can be patient with Dunc anymore just give his minutes to Martin since its just as likely Martin will hit a open 3 at this point as Duncan will.
so bec KAT had to sit out the first half for being dumb enough to pick up 3 fouls in 5 mins they've decided to stop calling fouls on him. Got it
Officiating is trash and they hit everything. Bad 2nd half by bam but Jesus.. KAT doesn’t commit another foul? Kiss my ass you dont call Edwards on taunting after his offensive foul dunk on Vincent? also kiss my ass it's November and I shouldnt be flustered by games until like January
it was just an annoying game. Kyle basically had to sit the entire sec half bec of fouls, Tyler couldn't carry us again and we were outshot from downtown by yet another fucking team. Honestly its amazing this team has the record they do with how bad we are from 3. Also Jimmy needs to stfu when we play Minn at this point they've won 2 of the last 3 games, its not the same team you bullied at practice let it go dude and just beat them on the court.
