he’s not even that bad if a rebounder, he averaged 8 in 27 min in the league, which is 10 per 36. But he also brings 2.5 blocks per game as well 21 points with 60% shooting. Yeah, he fouls a lot, and makes mistakes, but he brings a lot of things that we need.
Man, if Barnes can get out of his shooting funk, the spacing we have would be pretty crazy. Fox has also been getting more spot up/catch and shoot threes, something he is good at. Just need to figure out why the refs hate Sabonis so much.
The calls would be hilarious: Murray has the ball, and passes it to Murray. Murray drives in, passes it back out to Murray. Murray for three, it’s good!
I don’t get what you’re saying. I never said Sabonis should play the 4, he is best at the 5, but Turner and Sabonis were both centers and when played together were one of the top defensive duos. They weren’t the problem with the Pacers. It was the huge under performance of the wings, and lack of...
I saw that the lineup: Fox, Huerter, Barnes, Murray, Sabonis has a +56.4 net rating in 11 min played so far.
If you swap KZ for Keegan we are -14.8 net rating in 25 min.
Small sample sizes but it’s good to see we are finally going to it.
it was especially bad yesterday. We couldn’t go one possession without a foul call. It was almost unwatchable. Additionally, we are being just aggressive as the other team and yet they still shoot 10 more free throws than us. We always seem to have a massive free throw disparity.
Everyone is down on the team right now but we have been competitive in every game. Maybe we should of won against the Blazers, but they are also 3-0 right now, and beat the Suns.
Does our defense need work? Of course, but it has shown promise outside of this last game. A game in which the other...
People trashing our defense, but it's not like the Warriors D(one of the best defenses in the league),has been good. Plus the Warriors have been getting all the calls.
I was looking at the stats, and we defended everyone quite well. It was Hart and Grant that absolutely destroyed us. Now Barnes probably lost a step, but some of those takes on him we’re not explosive takes. It’s only one game though, and outside of the defense of those two m, our defense looked...
Outside of Josh Hart, and Jermai Grant, our defense did well. Those two destroyed us. Lillard and Simons shot 14/40, 35%. But we could not stop Hart and Grant, Barnes got totally cooked all night. It’s only one game, we will see how he does over this hard stretch of games.
yeah, if Holmes can get the push shot goin, the one he seemed to never miss, that would help. The team is going to have ups and downs, just can’t get too down on the downs while they figure each other out.
I love Huerter, but I wonder if starting Monk would be better. The biggest thing that hurts our second unit is the lack of playmakers.
Additionally, I like Holmes and his family, they seen like great people. But I wish we would give Queta some minutes. He is not perfect, but he is a defensive...
