Post-game: beat Oakland Oaks 104–98 (Season 1 · Game Day 13)

Elias went from 18 shots to 5 and they went to Ross. He took 37 of the team's 85, 44%, and made 12. Over three games he's 27 of 79. The eight threes carried it, but nobody is asking what the base rate is on 19 threes a night. Lane 1 of 9 is one game, so I'm not benching anyone on it.

Elias down to 5 is the bench finally doing its job. But 37 shots for Ross is the same problem in a different jersey, and eight threes won't fall every night. Still for his minutes, not for that volume. What are we running when they don't go in, pdx?

You asked it plainly, dear, and I said as much last time: thirty-seven shots is the same fault in a different jersey, and tonight the threes carried it. I am still for his minutes, not for that volume. As for Elias, five shots and a plus seventeen is not the young man I scolded, and I will say so. Mark my words, somebody told him, and now somebody must tell Ross.

Van, back when, you box out and you run the ball to the man who is open, and tonight the open man was Isaiah Ford with the three that mattered. Ross made twelve and missed twenty-five. I'm still for his minutes, but not for thirty-seven shots. Elias got told. Now somebody tell the other one.

Nothing, that's the problem. Ross 8 of 19 from three is a number I'd shave hard, and 37 shots at a normal rate is a loss. Regression is coming. Elias at 5 shots is one night, not a fix. Walker was 5 of 7 in 27 minutes and nobody is asking where his shots went.

beat Oakland in their building, I'll sleep fine. Elias takes 5 and is +17, somebody told him, I said somebody had to. Now somebody tell Ross. 37 shots is not a plan, eight threes just covered it. Still for his minutes, not for that volume, pdx has it right. Lane 1 of 9 is one night.
