Toronto got Quickley back the previous 2 games. Still lots of shots for Och and Gradey, but more realistic attempts and points with Toronto at full strength. Quickley has taken 33 shots (18 & 15) in the 2 games he has been back.

Klay was an option.

Nice defense.

Luka, every single time. But it's a long season. I know why it makes sense to let Kyrie take some of them along the way.

I'm going with that may be the wrong answer. Tell me, why Luka every single time?
Who is the better shooter/scorer?

Moral of the story is.....

Luka, for sure.
I don't know of any other player that has as consistently made more clutch last moment shots in NBA history.

Overall scoring and percentages are measurable. Balls are not. Luka has some huge balls.

Although, Luka, Kyrie and Klay. Holy fuck...there really isn't a bad option there. But, they are not always gonna go in. Waiting to see if the shot goes in and then making assessments about who should have taken the shot is weak shit.

If they run a play where there are multiple options then sure, open man.

The one posted was basically just throw it to Kyrie and let him shoot. I prefer Luka for that style play. Obviously, time was a factor.

"With KCP gone, would Mike Malone value shooting in the starting lineup or a guy that can do a bit of everything else?

He went with Braun, and the early results have shown that it was the correct choice. He is averaging career-highs across the board with 16.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.7 threes in 35.3 minutes per game. The increase in volume hasn’t negatively impacted his efficiency. Braun is shooting 55.2% from the floor, 81.1% from the free throw line and 50% on 3-pointers, all of which are career-highs."

Stud.

Somebody just dropped another new career high!

His 3rd 30 point game of the season. Making an early case for league Most Improved Player.

Games played 11/12

Rusty Embiid - 26 min, 2-11 fg, 1-5 3pt, 5 rb, 1 blk, 13 points

For context, Quickley was a late scratch last night. So no Quickley and no Scottie Barnes.

He's having huge games when they need his scoring and he gets to volume shoot. 7-20 isn't great though. But 14 of 16 from the line is. Especially considering he isn't known for drawing fouls like that.

saw this awesome pic of him on Reddit:



damn. New avatar mighta just dropped!

went to twitter to see if I could find a better pic of it, so I searched, "Gradey Dick necklace," which yielded this:



So then I made the search term more broad, using simply, "Gradey Dick," which yielded this:



I dunno if that means Twitter is sucking, or is at its all-time best.

If you routinely best your career high by one point, you can continually break it.

30, 31, 32,.....

Embiid is sort of a disaster. I dont understand what he's got going on the last couple years.
