If we simply crashed the boards, we’d be up by double digits

Bobby getting moved would be addition by subtraction.

Really feels like we should be up by 10+. Three point defense improved as the half went on but then we stopped rebounding.

Great offense by and around Giannis. TP was great. GTJ was solid. Bobby and Pat were hugely negative, again.

If we had only grabbed some easy rebounds we'd be up 15 by now.
Instead we're barely leading by 4.

Lakers fans said so many times how bad Prince is. I've seen enough to know he is a rotation guy in the playoffs, he doesn't spaz out and provides some wrinkles

I think that the people who are normally bad also look bad today. Ajax being a terrorist on offense essentially dashed our chances of extending our lead to more comfortable levels. At least he is making Lamelo look uncomfortable. Just gotta keep playing winning (or winning enough) basketball to get people back. I am sure that players take notice of when teams play better with them not playing.

Sometimes Pat but Charolette is just camping in the lane without Dame daring us to shoot the stop and pop and we can't

We just lost Bobby minutes like usual. Dre and Bobby trying to rebound is hilarious

AJJ is a black hole on offense.

Prince has been great.

9 offensive rebounds for Charlotte/14 second chance points. We should be up 10+

Like always less Pat and more AJ. Trent jr should play more too. Pat should only play if Giannis is off the court as he is the emergency pg.

9 assists for Giannis

Ajax should be embarrassed w/ himself. On o boards he tries to tip dunk everything, missing out on easy opportunities away from the basket. And on d boards he won't tap the ball to himself. He's still passing up easy shots.

Why isn't Trent playing more when he's turning things around? People might point to the single game +/- for these two comparatively. But Trent played w/ Bobby & Ajax w/ Giannis. Their impact should be flipped. Put Trent back as a starter.

We have to use AJJ right.. when he slices behind defenders that's a lob dunk... when he catches underneath, he shouldn't try to be Darvin and just out jump people.. use a pump fake sometimes and sometimes dont so that it's hard to guess you

Post #155 » by **MickeyDavis** » Sat Nov 16, 2024 9:12 pm

Trent with 2 steals in 7 minutes. Play him more in the second half.

Oh yeah and AJJ ... if you have an open 3.. you're nice out there -- shoot it

yannisk · Post #157 » by **yannisk** » Sat Nov 16, 2024 9:13 pm

AJJ looks very raw. Offensively we play 4 against 5. He is active on defense but he does not handle screens well and lost so many rebounds

Well, that makes sense. Rim protection is not beneficial. GM's & stat inputters adjust accordingly.

I have said it many times and learned it from Red Auerbach the Legendary 80's Celtics Coach .from a VHS .. Block is useful when you GAIN the possession after it. If you throw it out of bounds it should be counted as a deflection.

Really interested to see if we start the third quarter like **** again.

He is shooting 29.9% on the season from 3. He isn't nice out there. However he has to force someone to do more than just look at him while he has the ball at the 3 point line.
