That's nice stat and all but I'll counter it with 11-22 FT shooting and say if they went would they have made them anyway?
Whether they go in or not, it's a clear indicator of the passive offense of the starters.

What did you think of Kanter's minutes and play? I thought first half was good 2nd half still good but not as good as he kinda had his rookie mistakes of bringing the ball low again as well as getting blocked a couple of times. Overall thought he played good for a rookie and thought his minutes weren't bad.Whether they go in or not, it's a clear indicator of the passive offense of the starters.
I like his hard-nosed defense/play. At this point, win or lose, I just want players on the court that look and act like they give a damn.
I was thinking the same but Howard was also playing well and it was getting late in the 3rd Qtr and some of the starters did need to come out for a rest. So Ty may have been thinking, take him out on a positive note so he feels good about himself and ready to contribute when he puts him back in the 4th.Burks and Kanter are quickly becoming my favorites on the team. They go out there and you can tell that they care. Also it really pissed me off when Ty yanked Hayward in the 3rd as soon as he started tog et it going (Nice assist to Millsap and 3 buckets in a row). His problem is confidence so you yank him as soon as he starts to build momentum?

How about the body language on this team? Milsap and Al for sure have the slumped shoulders and get glossy eyed when they are on the bench. Hayward looks like he is worn out and about to cry. CJ has a furrowed brow even when he is on the court. They all walk slow back to the bench.
ANd how about Corbin? His body language is terrible too. Last night he just stood there on the sideline, he wasn't even talking to his players. I noticed because of the contrast with Coach Smart...he grabbed jimmer and was coaching. Ty looked detached and resigned (not re-signed mind you).
Not trying to sound like a Ty apologist just wanted to say he was doing this last year and some this year and he did pull Favors aside and talk to him before cutting away to a commercial. Not sure if he's not doing it as much because he trying not to wear down the players or picking his spots or what.Yep. While watching the game, I was like, why in the hell does;
Harris always have that stupid smirk like he's disinterested/pouting.
Al and Sap just loiter (maybe there should be a sign on the court that says, "No Loitering.")
Corbin .. deer in the headlights ..
and more, but I tire ..
