    Has to be, they photoshopped Jae'Sean with the starters and the most important bench players.

    Mural worthy.

    If I'm right hopefully "we don't have the guy" is a product of age and experience of the guys who are supposed to be that and not because of a talent deficit.

    I don't see how guys like Tatum, SGA, Booker etc are more naturally gifted than guys like Amen, Sengun and Jalen.

    Counterpoint: Winning in crunch time is good, but making the fourth quarter boring by smothering you for three quarters is better.

    Unless Jalen is having a heater, Ime always goes to Sengun postup late in the shotclock.

    It's had mixed results all season long tho..

    It's a great play for slowing the game down. Jalen tends to rush in clutch situations. His strength is closing scoring gaps in an instant when he is feeling it. That's why we should go to Jalen if we are trailing and Sengun if we are leading. That's our optimal clutch strategy imo.

    No, is not more reliable - I only picked the games that were within one possession, and they were behind - need a bucket or lose the game.


    Now if you want to move the goalposts ..... by all means.

    That was a terrible fast break by Jalen.

    If all it takes is to hit 3 3pters against the Rockets to out score them , this going to be a short series.
