I just can't imagine him not snapping out of it. Just way too good of a shooter to keep this up for much longer.

i hope so, but we’ve seen a steady decrease in his shooting all season. what worries me is that he’s so in his head that he doesn’t snap out of it.

The same here but Cam Johnson doesn't look comfortable out there. I thought after last night he might bounce out of his funk.

This isn't accurate. Prior to being out with Covid he was shooting 38% from 3. The 18 games after returning from Covid he was shooting 40%. He has simply been abysmal for 7-8 games now.

Saric hasn't played tonight. I don't know why.

by month:

December: 44% (5 games)
January: 34% (13 games)
February: 37% (15 games)
March: 40% (8 games)
April: 32% (16 games)
May: 25% (3 games)

basically he briefly started hot, was completely average for two months, had a nice run in March and then has been horrendous since then.

for a “shooter” that’s a pretty weak season. And only getting weaker with every passing game.

Monty might want to look at his bench to see if he can find someone with fresh legs.

This is overly simplified. April for instance he was shooting great for the first 11 games (42%), but shot 14% in the last 5 games of April. Sure looking at the whole month you can fit the stats to your argument, but using context you can see that April hasn't really been an issue, but simply the last 7-8 games have been.

Cam is killing us.

throw this game away. We put ourselves in this position by forcing extra effort against an already pathetic Cavs team missing six players. You get what you deserve the next night if you’re run off the floor.

doesn’t get any easier Friday night. I waive the white flag on this one and regroup for the stretch run.

He has 3 fouls.
,ar least try to get the ball to whomever he's guarding and try to get the 4th on him

It's the right idea. Suns look like they are physically and mentally out of the game.

I know this might sound nuts, but I’d rest starters remainder of season, no joke.
