I know you could do this for like every possession in the game and nitpick but man, Shai really needs to utilize Chet as a lob threat more. He’s been notoriously poor throwing lobs. That last play was not great decision making by him.
Shai looked really rough as a playmaker last night, a lot of boneheaded turnovers and decisions. There’s gonna be some growing pains with Giddey gone now and Shai having to do more playmaking.

I was going through this exact same thought as the game ended last night 😭
Very unfortunate. JDub would’ve drilled a 3 too. I trust in Shai’s clutch game but man, last night was a bad look for him.
Shai is usually pretty bad at libs, but I thought that’s what it was at first.
Given how last night went, we would have thrown it straight out of bounds
Idk what Shais problem with lobs is, it’s really not that hard to throw them lol
he was fouled by Russ too
There was another one earlier in the 4Q where either JDub or Shai missed him on an even more wide open dunk attempt too. Hopefully they make an adjustment.
Definitely need to clean the turnover issue up for the warriors and Celtics soon. They just didn’t see the floor well and fatigue might be a factor. But this is stuff that can be corrected luckily and it’s super early in the season
As a team we are pretty bad at lobs.
A lot happened in those 12ish seconds. Could have called a time out to draw up a play….could have went w/the lob….
My only “complaint” about last night is that the Nuggets are in the division. Outside of that….it’s an 82 game schedule and there’s going to be “those nights” where your superstar All-NBA player looks disorganized and discombobulated throughout the game. It’s almost like someone hit him w/the smelly sauce!
I’m sure against the Rockets he’s going to drop his normal 30 and do the Jordan-smiles
I’d rather make the simpler pass to the corner for Caruso… wide open corner 3 even if he was off all game still the right play
Hell even though they scored I thought the play where he passed up a wide open three for Chet at the top of the key and it would’ve made it 123-124. We were lucky p wat even missed both of those I feel like we need to go for the 3 in most of those situations we can’t rely on poor free throw shooting
driving to the basket was a terrible call. could’ve done basically anything but that and had a better chance. caruso or dub at the arc would’ve been ideal.
He just hasn’t been very sharp with decision making this season.
Can we get a second chance to run the play again? I would like a midrange shot from shai
Good catch. I didn’t even notice the lob opportunity to Chet there. When I saw him driving, I thought he was going to stop and shoot a mid range jumper. He’s elite in the mid range, but it seems like he’s not shooting them as much so far this season, especially in last night’s game. He could definitely pull up and shoot without Westbrook bothering him much.
Good chance Jokic intercepts, it goes off the top of the backboard, or straight out of bounds.
That’s a tough tough pass. Jokic and Watson are both right there, he’d have a tiny window to get it up to Chet. And we all know SGA isn’t exactly Lob Citg cp3 lol
Yes we know. But we made them sweat for that win. The crowds reaction alone is an indication of what a threat we are this season
