Well it was a junior dance team tonight. I think Norm and Ed would have approved of their actual name DNA Dance Collective or something. But yes I think yours may be even more obscure.More obscure than my joke about a TV show from 2005 that got cancelled after 13 episodes?
I don't think Domas can ever sustain a Jokic level scoring workload.. Which.. is fine! Jokic is a top 20 player if he retired tomorrow. I think a better historical context for Domas is actually our very own C-Webb and players in that range. Domas being a better passer, C-Webb a better scorer.
For those of us old enough to remember Dallas/Don Nelson putting a guard on Peja and Peja not being able to take advantage ….. watching Keegan posting up Poole is a bigger deal than it appears at first blush.
In fairness, they weren't doing that great in the first half, either.Wizards have decided they’re done playing defense for the rest of the game lol
If you dive into the stats, it's a closer call than you might think. Degree of difficulty gets you bonus points on highlight reels and in the minds of voters but a quick efficient hook shot instead of a fallaway jumper is almost always a better shot and the way Domas can seal off a defender and put the ball right where it needs to be is just as good in terms of the final result as a bullet pass across the court.
At this rate, I think there's a very strong possibility that they're both going to get extended playing time in the fourth quarter.Vezenkov pulled down 5 boards in 7 minutes and Trey Lyles has put up nothing but 0's in 9 minutes. I think Sasha has made a pretty strong argument for getting more minutes over Lyles in the 4th quarter.
The stats, of course. Domas shines as a scorer. Nearly 20 a game above 60% TS is outstanding. But he's just not wired as a scorer; he's wired as an offensive maestro. He wants the offense to run rather than look for his own shot. Jokic does the same, but Jokic also has that instinct (and ability) to just put the team on his back and go score 40. That's what he's missing in his game to be a 25-30 PPG scorer. And I just don't think that's even close to the best part of his game.
