Q, it puts immediate pressure on the ballhandler and can dictate the direction of the flow of the offense.
But if he doesn't get over it, which he doesn't often from that far out, it leads to a compromised defense because our guy guarding the screener has to pick up Jaden's guy (Durant in this case), and it led to a wide open lane for Tate, who was the screener. I think the risk far outweighs the benefit.

That +41 from Bones the other night is long forgotten! He looked indecisive and terrible on both ends. And we need his scoring with Ant out.

I can't guarantee the execution, I'm just telling you why it's done.

Yeah, not his night...the offense looked clumsy when he was in there, but really good the rest of the time.

Bad finish to the half, but I'm feeling okay. Didn't the announcers say Houston was one of the worst 4th quarter teams in the league? Combine that with tired legs from playing OkC last night, and we just gotta keep it close.

But the pessimist in me says the Wolves are the salve for whatever ails a team…. :(
