Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Exactly what I was thinking. He was passing up good shots he would have taken and probably knocked down the last five games. Fortunately that was not the case with Allen.

LeVert is an enigma. Against Dallas he won the game with 29 points and 7 assists off the bench, going 6-for-11 on 3's. He pretty much too over the fourth quarter. Last night he was 3-for-14. In his last three games he scored 9, 29, and 6 points. It's like we need to find out in the first five minutes whether he's on or off his game. If he's off, leave him on the bench.

He was bad in Dallas until he wasn't. He is an enigma
 
Mitchell is our #1 problem as well as the guy who can win games for you. Everyone on the team defers to him when he is on the court and by the 4th quarter the bad habits have been established.

He’s the same player as he was in Utah and he won’t change. It will be difficult to win playoff series with him in the lineup, it was for Utah and it will be the same for us. He dominates the ball too much and one thing is for sure. The combo of him and Garland doesn’t work.
 
To add to the Mitchell dilemma is that I am sure JBB coaches the right way but does Mitchell listen is the question that we all should be asking.

JBB has issues in his rotations, SM hit a couple of 3”s but he lets the whole team continue to brick away all night? Run a dozen plays for SM but you can’t with Mitchell on the floor, he won’t do that no matter if he is told.
 
Mitchell is finding that balance I believe between moving the ball and going iso.

Just not shit you can do when Strus and Niang miss wide open 3s all night.

Well you could insert CPJ sooner, but that would require a coach doing his job.

Merrill should never hit the court before CPJ.

It's looking more and more like CpJ has to be the first guy off the bench.

Edit: Forgot to mention Levert's bum ass game

There is no Mitchell dilemma. There is a JBB dilemma. Nobody on this roster should be touched or moved until we get someone else. Then, if the same problems start showing up, you start looking at the roster.

JBB can run a .500-ish team with no stars under no pressure, but once a star is on the roster or he has to go against experienced coaches and win, he's just not the guy.
