Lol, it has nothing to do with Simons. He's been getting better looks with Simons than without. Look at his shot profile. His efficiency is predicated on how many midrange and short hooks he makes since those are the only shots he's comfortable taking. There's a lot of variability there. He made his midrangers earlier in the season. Now he's missing them.
I'm not sure what you're showing here I simply posted his month-by-month numbers and they definitely showed he was much more efficient early in the season and that was when Ant was sidelined. 59% on FG's in October/November; 44% in January/February. Whether that's just coincidence or there was some correlation I don't know and I noted that in my post now, he was injured so his cratered efficiency could easily be more connected to injury than Ant
I don't think the two of them have played enough together to come to any conclusions. The injuries suffered this year have been maddening. What this team needs is consistency in role, even for a few months.
Also, lots of things get whispered that don't pan out. IOW: Just because a trade doesn't happen, doesn't mean it wasn't discussed. I trust MM completely. If MM hears whispers, whisperers are whispering.
That max contract statement got me. Trade him. That’s not a hard work ethic statement at all. Now if he would have said, “ I’m a max contract player and will continue to be one but I need to be better and play to the contracts I believe I deserve.” I might have a different tone. What do you think his teammates think of that statement? I sure as hell wouldn’t want to work with someone with that attitude.
try to share thybulle tidbits that don't include haynes' goodwin-infused reporting from the summer. remember that whole thing?
