that is the best defensive plan you could have against us. If you lose b/c of it, you tip your hat and move on.

Bonzo has played in 11 games thus far.
He's led the team in FGA in 2 games this year. Lost them both.
He's been within 1 FGA of tying for the lead in attempts for a game twice. We are 1-1 in those.
Two of those 4 games mentioned was against OKC, where we were 1-1, and the one we won was a blowout were Bonzo played the most minutes on the team by a good bit over BI and Zion.

If the plan is for us too keep losing, then he should keep firing away.

Bonzo shoots 22% when there's less than 4 seconds on the shot clock. Last year he was better, at 23%.
for comparison, BI is 45%, 34% last year.
The goal of any opponent should absolutely be to make us put the ball in Bonzo's hands late in the shot clock.
