Voted Kanter. Russ did Russ things at the very end but his poor play (and the refs) in the rest of the fourth is why needed the heroics. Kanter somehow played the refs to a standstill to end the third.

I voted Kanter too. Mostly coz when Adams was getting bullied by the Jazz and refs Kanter stepped up and showed how valuable he can be. Doug was close 2nd.

Actually on further thought Kanter deserved a vote.

I would've been so pissed if hill made that three and we went on to lose because the refs missed that obvious goaltend.

Adams is getting called trashed in this facebook group. I swear some people are just dumb

It feels like we're a lot more balanced with Alex starting, not only is he a much better shooter than vic but he moves more off the ball. He's constantly filling spaces and coming around screen looking for the ball, that has an effect on his defender and whoever is guarding the screener. It would've been nice to have vic in the 4th though, the jazz started putting abrines and enes in the p&r repeatedly and they couldn't handle it.

I agree, but booooooy, Hood just absolutely destroyed him in the 4th. One thing I noticed is our guys had real trouble getting around the Jazz's screens, and they kept rubbing guys off just above the elbow and going for unimpeded runs to the hoop. Abrines had that trouble with the added issue of getting his hands stuck in the cookie jar when he tried to pull himself around the screen/disrupt the ballhandler's dribble.

Did Adams just get abused or what? Didn't see the game.

Don't root for anyone for get injury but it would be funny outcome if KD will be out for the rest of the season being injuried in place he never want to come back Washington. Better if they lose at finals. Hiring KD was great for them as long they can stay healthy. Their depth suffer a lot. Calderon isn't any answer.
Let's suppose you guys meet KDless Warriors. Do u think u have the chance to knock them out?

I could see it. We have the tools to defend the perimeter and our bench is upgraded from the previous matchups where it was complete trash. KD has torched us every time so our odds definitely go way up without him.

With or without cupcake the warriors would destroy us.

I beg to differ.

Great win. The Jazz are really good. Also, hoping that Sabonis overcomes this rookie wall soon.

Don't be so sure. Curry hasn't been anywhere near his normal level and Durant played a huge factor in our losses. Klay on the otherhand, always kills us.

Might have used up all the shots for March in this game :lol:

What a weird game. We couldn't miss from 3, then couldn't make anything from 3. The Jazz made a living off of bs shots all night long and the refs were trying to trash us all night long.

Russ got us out of the whole he put us in in the 4th. I'll take the win.

Post #19 » by **bondom34** » Wed Mar 1, 2017 10:54 am

Yeah, thinking Abrines should stay starting.

And yes, GSW destroys this team, cupcake or no.

I didn't see the game. Did Adams have a bad game? Also, judging from the box score it doesn't like Roberson really shut down Hayward.
