Can’t understand it unless they’ve changed the rules. It doesn’t have to be in the cylinder if it’s course is yet to be determined.

after it hit the rim, the trajectory of the ball is going away from the basket...


No the trajectory of the ball was upwards onto the backboard and then Wall hit it. Clear goaltending whether the ball was going in or not.

He has huge trouble getting separation anymore. The only plays he gets easy buckets is when he is cutting and Elfrid finds him. Anything else is just a really tough shot which he makes sometimes.

Agreed. Maybe he is injured like you said. What was his last injury? Quad?


Or maybe he does what they do every season and give up.

My props to:
Biyombo. Keep it up bro, so we can dump you for nothing .
7 assists by Gordon
Payton for good game on offense

And Scott Brooks, for not playing Jodie Meeks over 2015 lottery pick. Some other coach could learn something from him ;)

Yeah, nice to see him rebound and pass even though his shot was not falling.

That was like an old ABA game; defense free basketball by both teams.

i saw on espn -DNP , most of times they don't even put players who are ruled out into box score but you may be right.

If you look back through Evan's splits, he always seems to struggle in the middle months of the season. I suspect he might not keep himself in good enough shape. Doesn't help that him and Vuc aren't looking for each other on every possession.

Myabe Evan is playing like crap to lower his trade value
A:He lowers it so we woudnt trade him due to crappy offers(where else he will get such freedom on offense?)
B:He doesnt want his future team to lose too many assets

haha

I remember Vuc playing like crap when his name was mentioned in trades too before

He probably tweaked his ankle and our staff is just slow to catch on as always.

he actually must be hurt or maybe mentally broken this season looked like it finally happens after 8-4 then reality struck but my bet is he isnt fully healed

Funnily enough, that overturned call was enough for this game to dodge the criteria for a Last 2 Minute Report. A game needs to be within 3 points at any time during the final 2 minutes.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I don’t think Evan is fully healthy but I also think this links to our training staff being not great and Evan not being a quick healer.

Happy enough to take the loss tank-wise but I can’t get over what a terrible call that was. If the game mattered / it was a game involving a contending team there’d be uproar.
