    I logged our last 5 possessions:
    - Nurk handoff to Dame, pick n roll, missed mid-range stepback.
    - CJ pick n roll, handoff to Dame, pick n roll, iso, made stepback.
    - CJ pushes by himself in transition, draws foul.
    - Dame flare, CJ pin down, not there. Dame pops back out, gets ball, missed mid-range.
    - ET isolates at the elbow, kicks to CJ, missed 3.

    No action towards the rim after 5 possessions outside of CJ going 1 on 2 in transition, lets see how long it takes for Stotts to adjust.

    Honestly, that was probably directed at the team, that tech.

    We shoot the 4 largest % of shots around the rim in the league with the one of the worst collections of finishers in the NBA.

    I don't get it...

    It's fucking NBA basketball. Every possession isn't going to be perfect...

    Next 5 possessions:
    - Dame pushes to the rim by himself in transition, blocked.
    - Pass in to Nurk at mid-range, shoots it, makes it.
    - Evan Turner rejects pick n roll, pass to Nurkic, misses 3.
    - Dame dives for steal, passes to Aminu who hits a trailing C.J. who makes a 3.
    - CJ pick n roll with Aminu up top, fouled, gets free throws.

    Still nothing towards the rim outside of Dame and CJ pushing it two times combined (out of 10) by themselves in transition.

    None of it is because of coaching. It's literally all because of our backcourt, and having a very good pick n roll big and pick n roll ball-handlers and we run it to death.

    CJ must be rich because he absolutely owns the Memphis Grizzlies.

    Missed a couple more possessions, but here's our last one.

    - Dame pick n roll with Meyers, shut down, kicks to Meyers, no shot, kicks to CJ, who drives and hits a tough runner.
