Just not happening for Cage, at least not yet

[Mr. Neutral]

15+ minutes, 4 pts., 2 boards tonight.

2-3 from the field means he is not getting the touches or he needs to be a little more selfish. Seems like three guys are selfish.

[Mr. Neutral]

mm, you are one optimistic son of a gun.

4 pts. and 2 rebounds means you're getting cut.

If Cage was putting up these numbers for X, we wouldn't be saying our other guys were being selfish. We'd be asking "what the heck is going on with Cage, and why is his production so poor?".

He may be going 2-3 because he can only get off a few shots against bigger, stronger, quicker competition. Either way, he's got to step it up, and I'm sure he knows it. Whether he's capable of stepping it up at this level is another matter.

Oh G, don't get me wrong with those number he will get cut. He might as well be selfish and do some more scoring...someone may see it.

And you are right I am an optimistic son of a gun.

Game 4 for Cage--

15 minutes, 0 pts. (0-1FG), 1 rebound.

Sorry, mm, that's not unselfish, it's unproductive. No team can have a guy out there for 1/3 of the game with no production whatsoever. I love Cage, but he's been a total nonfactor in the Suns' summer league games.
