Norm is t he guy that needs to be unleashed. I hate how nurse doesn't give him t he same free reign to go out and hunt down his shots...

I see that the magic of the title has worn off and we're back in message.
I don't actually disagree on not wanting FVV to handle the rock more or try and shoot more than he is but I'm not as sold on Norm.

I don't like the quote about nurse talking to fvv and siakam specifically though... To me it sounds like he wants fvv to be a more aggressive scorer and that's a disaster. Fvv needs to be relrwgsted to cat h and shoot 3 duty. That was when he was at his best all season and in the playoffs specifically. He made an impact by draining 3s. Any time he had the ball in his hands for extended periods it was a disaster...
Also where does norm factor into all this? I admittedly didnt read the whole article, but why isn't nurse telling norm hes gonna have a bigger role? Norm is the one guy that has prototypical swing man skillset as well as length athleticism and finishing ability... We should be turning him into a demar type scorer for us... No **** idea why nurse keeps prioritizing fvv over him...

Or did they grab they're own right shoulder like some kind of salute?

I dont think he gets moved into the Lineup along side Gasol, except for short spurts like we saw in the Playoffs
I think we saw that ibaka is at his best at the 5. That year he played with JV he was camping outside the arc bricking 3s. Ibaka is at his best when he's 15-17 ft away from the basket.
Like ppl are saying I think this is a more situational thing than a starting lineup change. We have tons of guys that can play the 2 or 3 and not many serviceable bigs. Ibaka will probably come off the bench.
Serge gets the least credit for the 'ship but all his shots in the Finals were low-key **** huge.

Which would be weird because he was literally the only other guy to show up outside Kawhi in game 7 of the 76ers series.

Absolutely, if serge doesn't shoot the way he did in game 7 we easily lose, we knew kawhi would show up, but serge was a pleasant surprise

Yes, let us not forget Serge was a certified legend that game. Everyone in the GT always hates it when he takes a shot but I was telling Serge to shoot every time he was open. People really don't give him the credit he deserves. I'm certain after his **** show against LeBron he had a very long one-on-one conversation with Masai and it really made a world of difference. He came back a new man.
