J.E. Skeets

And they just don't have that ability.

Scotty Barnes had a bad turnover in third quarter.

There's just too many mistakes for a team that's limited.

Unless Quickly is playing.

He is on the bench with his...

Own water bottle, not a Gatorade bottle.

I don't know if he's coming back or not.

There is some talk about him potentially coming back, but they need him.

They need a ball handler.

And even though he isn't a traditional point guard, they just need somebody out there, especially when Brandon Ingram wasn't right.

You could see just dribbling on the perimeter, just waiting for Evan Mobley to poke it from him.

Very odd for Brandon Ingram just not to be...

I understand what you're saying about the limited usage and all that.

And he was doing better jobs of setting these back screens that were helping out like RJ Barrett to go in and all that.

But he just didn't get to his flow.

No.

I mean, this is just a bad playoff performance.

I'm just saying it's a tough look after game one to talk to the press and say, look, we're not going to win if I only get nine shots.

And then you follow it up in game two by getting 15 shots but only hitting three of them.

It's rough.
