Ali is a bit out of sorts.

 

Other teams have watched him enough now to know his moves and he's not adjusting.  They are beating him to his spot and getting set on his pounding the ball backing in move and they're not biting on that little shimmy (travel) on the perimeter.

May be an unpopular opinion, but I think Groce needs to take a close look at bringing Trimble off the bench. Give him 10-15 mins to see if he’s “on” for the night. If he is, give him more then planned.

 

He’s a specialist who hasn’t been holding up his end for a lot of the season. If he’s not on, just about everyone on the bench can contribute in another way.

Give Enrique that block c'mon

 

I was watching the Miami game Sunday and they missed getting him the ball on a pick and roll and I yelled "give him the ball!"   My grandson, who is still can be tough to understand, now clearly and aggressively says "give him the ball!"

He’s definitely off tonight, but he did just shoot 7/10 against Miami for 21 points…

I don't think that's a bad idea.  He could be a Vinny Johnson instant offense kind of guy.  My worry, however, would be that it damages his psyche and his play as a result.
