Re: Sam
Ouch! Sam had been in the top ten in 3 point shooting percentage for a while now, but that one game dropped him from 9 to 16. He’ll bounce back.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑March 6th, 2024, 8:04 pmHopefully bickerstaff doesn't use tonight as an excuse not to play Merrill. Outside of Grayson allen, there isn't a guy in the league I'd rather be taking 3s than merrill

Re: Sam
I have the game on in the background but it's International Women's Day so all three announcers are women. Sorry, just can't stand them. One of them I can't even understand what she's saying half the time.
Merrill got in with about 3 minutes left in the 1st qtr.

Re: Sam
I just noticed this game was on ESPN and stopped to watch. Merrill playing in crunch time in a 3 point game. I have seen him miss two 3 pointers. He's 2-9 for the game. Pulled with 5 minutes to play.
What does that make him, 2-18 in the last 2 games?

Re: Sam
Yes, 2-9.
Still, it looks like he has the green light from the coach and trust from the other players as they look to get him the ball.

Re: Sam
Do you count "hits" like my wife for that batting average - a ball put into play is a "hit"?Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑March 12th, 2024, 7:55 pmSounds like my little league career

Good game by Sam tonight,

Re: Sam
He plays like sh*t when Garland is running the offense. But he and Donavan have good chemistry.

Re: Sam
Sam 2 - 5 from three tonight so far. Heard an interesting stat: Sam is second in the league in assist to turnover ration.

Re: Sam
Got my tickets for the Jazz-Cavs game on the 2nd! It'd be fun to have a large Aggie contingent there to cheer Sam on. Resale tickets are dirt cheap and it's not like this Jazz team is worth cheering for anyway.

Re: Sam
Looks like Sam just beat the Cav's single season record for most 3s made from a bench player: https://www.si.com/nba/cavaliers/clevel ... te-hornets

Re: Sam
Merrill is going to get seriously paid this off-season. Hope he donates a sliver back to USU basketball, but that's up to him.

Re: Sam
He probably does. But he also donates just with his support, visiting the team/coach/school, and being involved in the Blue A Collective.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑March 29th, 2024, 7:29 pmMerrill is going to get seriously paid this off-season.

Re: Sam
I think he still has another year on his contract. Though he could sign a pretty nice extension.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑March 29th, 2024, 7:29 pmMerrill is going to get seriously paid this off-season. Hope he donates a sliver back to USU basketball, but that's up to him.

Re: Sam
Interesting personnel decisions tonight for the Cavs. Merrill shot well and had good numbers/stats and had 18 points in 24 minutes yesterday. Today he plays 4 minutes. A match-up issue?

Re: Sam
Donovan Mitchell sat out against the Jazz but played against the Suns. That would have opened more minutes for bench players. Apparently Mitchell isn’t playing on consecutive days at this point.

Re: Sam
I don't follow the NBA much other than to check up and see how Sam or Queta did, but I did see a clip somewhere that the Cavs are overloaded in the 2 and 3 spots where Sam plays and when everyone is healthy its really hard to find minutes unless they really went small ball and took out their 4.
As much as he changes the spacing complexion on the floor though while playing pretty solid D it sure seems like the Cavs would benefit in figuring it out. A lot of their fans apparently feel that way.

Re: Sam
Sam has been listed on the injured/illness status for a few games now. I saw an article where he had a sore neck. That doesn't seem like something that would keep you out for a couple of weeks. I wonder if the Cavs are establishing their playoff roster and Sam isn't in those plans?

Re: Sam
He'll definitely be on the roster if he is healthy. There's a chance he won't get as many minutes as rotations slim down for the playoffs, but he isn't being cut haha.
