Pat and Ty combined hadn't hit a bucket yet. Yet I see it all seems to be Avery's fault.
OK.
Off to Philadelphia. Seeyas all around. I think I'll enjoy missing the rest of this thread.
Watch the game.
It’s foolish to even try to defend what Bradley did on both ends tonight in 33 minutes of play. Don’t do it to yourself tonight save the gimmick for another game. Doc and Bradley were terrible.
Appreciate you being spokesman for the dogpile, but I like sharing the stats when they disagree with the prevailing memes. No need to shout me down.
As for throwing Jerome into the deep end right up from G-League against one of the best teams in NBA history, meh. As for who should have got Avery's minutes, Pat fouled out and Ty couldn't buy a basket at all. Not really thrilled with the backup QB argument here.
I fell asleep early but the lack of defense was noteworthy by that time. Curry the best shooter in the league getting wide open looks. Other guys driving to the basket for wide open dunks. It looked like pickup league defense. I'm not going to blame any one player because it looked to be more a team issue than individual issue. The team defense was very poor early on. As I said previously I only saw the early part of the game. The announcer said something to the effect of you can't give up wide open looks from outside and also wide open dunks. At least pick one to shut down.
In regards to Avery I understand your backup QB analogy but I would also ask if they are already losing would it hurt to try something else? Its not like they can be given 2 losses in 1 game. Maybe the guys on the bench are not the answer but when things are going bad changes are often called for even if not sure fire solutions.
Now with that said the team has no rim protection. I'm not talking about blocks. I'm talking making someone uncomfortable. This team needs to find a way to clog that lane more. Right now it is just too easy. I think teams are told they can get to the rim anytime.
