Used to be if Donte took a dribble before shooting you could guess it wasn’t going in. Now it’s if he even gets a clean look at the rim? Guys we’d better have him playing out there in those blinker goggles they give to racehorses
Edit: blinders not blinkers. Don’t type on your phone, folks
Let Rudy take a swing at him in the pre-game huddle?
he should have just kept the mask on. he lit it up and looked cool doing it
He shoots better when he doesn’t have a chance to think about.
He seems to shoot better when someone’s running at him or it’s a contested shot 🤦♂️
I’m not too worried about Donte. Didn’t Ant go like 3 for 30 from three at one point this season? He’ll shake out of it at some point, but it’s been awesome to see him making an impact when his shot isn’t falling.
Shooters shoot. He was shooting 42% from 3 during the 12 games stretch Wolves went 10-2. The whole team is shooting 32.3% from 3 in the last 13 games (30th place) after shooting 38.9% in the first 23 games (4th place).
He just can’t shoot. I don’t care what his BPM is. 4/23 from 3PT over the last three games is not acceptable.
As a pacers fan this shit is giving me ptsd from that knicks series in 2024
