Quentin Good-in today’s games

[IM4X]

Not a pretty win. Lots that continue to be frustrating, but I wanted to give props to Q for stepping up and going 9/11 today (including 4-4 from 3). Starting to wonder if he moves better and plays looser without Naji on the court. This game should give him some confidence that he can play well when he is free to operate in a way that works best for him and isn’t stifling.

“Core 4” sounds like a group who has always had perfect chemistry together, but honestly we know that is not the case. They simply are 4 guys who have played together for two plus years now. They never truly seemed to compliment or complete one another in the same way that some teams have from the past. Even the team that had Tre as the main go to guy, also had a bunch of complimentary players who were always anticipating teammates moves and were expected to make the smart pass or see the opportunity for an easy bucket. This team has behaved as if the offensive game plan is for everyone to just get the ball to Naji, Paula or Jones and see if they can do something first... and only go to others if they are struggling.
