Wizards were 8-42 = .190% from 3pt land...
their terrible shooting was huge.. they got wide open looks and were ice cold.. they kept shooting them too.. every time they dumped it down low, they got a bucket or a foul.. we got lucky, tbh..

I am still celebrating the Win but know that if they hit 4 more of those 3's and went 12-42 = .285% it's still a terrible shooting night - but it's a whole different game..

tip of the hat to Jalen McDaniels for knocking down some key jumpers.  Never thought he would amount to much, but he's developing. 

I was just talking to my son last night about this same thing, I have watched him get better every season, he’s got a nice stroke from the three-point line and he’s quiet as a church mouse, he just goes out there and handles his business. He’s the type of player I would just wanna keep around

I personally like McDaniels more than P.J.

He’s on a cheaper contract and he just looks like a more impactful player. If P.J. isn’t scoring he doesn’t seem to provide a whole lot.

It would be nice if the Hornets could use P.J. to upgrade the center position.

PJ and the first we got for Graham for Myles Turner. Been sayin it all offseason

Feels like the Pacers are asking more than that for Turner.  That he hasn’t been moved is interesting but they must want the house for him

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
