Yeah, that’s the problem. A PG shooting 25% from three would definitely never get minutes here because it would totally **** up what Quin wants to do with the offense.
If he shot 20%, on the other hand…

Nuggets lost to the Suns tonight. Even if they win the rest of their games, they can only finish with 51 wins. So it's highly unlikely they can catch the Jazz.
Nuggets had a fantastic shooting night, but gave up 140 pts to lose 140-130. If the Jazz match up with Denver in the POs, the Jazz should at least not be too disrupted on offense. That makes them a favorable matchup.

I remember when Royce O'Neale couldn't get playing time until his 3pt % was consistently above 36%. If Trent Forrest has the ball in his hands then he demands some defensive attention, but if he's off the ball he's pretty useless.
Nickeil is shooting 35% from 3pt in his last 4 games (6/17), despite going 0/6 against the Knicks. Defenses can't just ignore him.

Seriously the next time Forrest passes up a wide-open 3 with zero defenders within 8 feet just to drive right into the middle of the nearest cluster of defenders and then turn the ball over or take a heavily contested circus shot, he needs to immediately be benched. I know his 3 pt shot is ****, and he is afraid to shoot it, but he will never get any better at it running away from it. Look what happened to Simmons, he was so afraid of shooting he eventually was afraid of layups and it completely broke him. Forrest is nowhere near that caliber of player. He needs to take what the defense gives. Otherwise he is worse than useless for us. Especially when his vaunted defense has been barely passable at best, and frankly pretty bad for much of his PT over the last few games.
Again, WTF does Butler not play? Butler should play over Forrest in the rotation. Should be a given.

Memphis with a 25 point win over the Bucks tonight, despite not having Morant. The Grizzlies have the second-best record in the league, tons of young talent, and solid draft assets. Man, I'm jealous.
I think they're now like 17-2 without Ja this season. It's crazy.

I love that Maledon could've actually batted that away, but he was so confused as to what was happening, he just let it go. You know you're something else when opponents can't even begin to figure out what you're trying to do.
