Jakobe would draw so many fouls if he had a ball handle. Dude has that SGA thing that makes contact look egregious when against him

If he could get cross matched onto smalls every half court possession, he would be an elite player. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

It’s hard to do it consistently against small guards. Smart teams will just switch that cross match.

Defense looked solid with Jakobe/Ochai and no Dick.

The one thing that will keep us close to the Celtics is their bench guys being ass.

Honestly, the first unit would be just as good or better with Yak and IQ off the bench.

Scottie has become public enemy number 1 it seems. In preseason haha. Mind you, he’s been a big factor in this little comeback.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

I'm hoping Darko figures out how to take advantage of the fact that the best wing defender should be on BI. Scottie should be getting that type of opportunity alot more.

He has that wiggle ability that Shai does. He just can’t fully tap into it because his handles are worse than Jaylen Brown.

If I can identify anything wrong with this team so far it’s that the starting lineup doesn’t work well as a unit. A lot of spacing issues. A lot of coaching issues with the gameplan there.
