With Jokic’s performance against Minny, finally Sengun is performing similar to Jokic in the playoffs, and deserves the baby jokic name.
Lets start blame Alpi! He was very bad and he is dont deserve to be a NBA Player! Go back to Europe! Reed ist the real Franchise Player! He will be the new Curry!
Amen and Bari came to play as well. Still, I believe this core deserves real offensive coaching that's not just yelling and demeaning players.
Sengun was good, so was Amen. Reed is not a point guard, that is our problem. With FVV we were not losing game 2 and 3, very unlikely. Also I don't think the players trust Udoka. I am still worried when Jabari has the ball in clutch time, he is not the smartest player out there. There it is, I think the biggest what if is FVV, we would have won with him.
I still think it's too early to give up on Alpi. He is not even 24 years old. Yes, he has many limitations and he did play soft in the first two games. But, currently, with no doubt that he is our best young player. Plus, his contract is also considered a steal. To maximize Alpi's impacts, we just need to have: 1. a competent PG to share his burden or 2. a competent coach who can at least design a good offense system, so that he doesn't have to always initiate a play himself outside of the 3pt line. Don't understand why so many fans are so impatient about Alpi. He is not JG, I still have faith in him.
With Ime locked up for 5 more years at $11 million per season? Don't be surprised as they can't trade Udoka after everyone in the media keeps talking about how poorly coached our team is. They will have to make changes somehow and Fertits ain't gonna eat the Udicker's contract.
Shipping Sengun before Ime might be the dumbest thing that can be done. Ime surviving the summer doesn't make sense.
No glitch, this is correct, they said it on the broadcast last night too. I think it was Van Gundy who said "as bad as Sengun's efficiency has been, so far in this series they are +5 with him on the court and -40 with him on the bench". I don't know the exact numbers he gave but it was somewhere in that ballpark. If someone wants to find the exact numbers they can rewatch and try to find it.
SVG was by far the best commentator I heard all season long. Dropped nuggets of truth the entire game. It was refreshing.
Favorite sequence to get the lead and then extend the lead. =( Closeout on Rui for the clock violation, bucket. spinmove on Hayes that left him back in San Andreas, bucket. Block on Hayes, assist. Steals Lebron's pass, bucket. Efficiency in the first 2 games needed to be higher: 6 missed bunnies, 4 led to his own rebound then passed out for 3 assists 1 missed three plus 1 putback. The three pointer, ain't nobody got time for that. That's why they were +5. Don't know why LA went away from guarding him with Rui guarding him on the perimeter and having Hayes waiting under the rim. Udoka started the trend while Dillon was here. It bothers alot of the centers that like to operate away from the post
