Shots fell. We won.
It’s not “hating” to watch games with expectations of forming good habits. I agree that Brown has made a DECISION to be less selfish ever since ESPN called him out. This is what the “haters” have been screaming for forever.
However, now I’m conscerned that he will try force it and prove he is a playmaker in the playoffs against better defenses, when that’s not his natural strength.
I’d rather him just dunk and cut and let the ball handlers be the playmakers. You can be less selfish without having to run the point and play make like Haliburton. I hope he understands this difference in the playoffs.
So in other words, you’re never satisfied
Not really what he's saying.
Against top defenses, JB might be better suited as offball player since we have DWhite, Jrue, and Tatum who can handle the ball and be primary playmakers whenever he is on the floor.
I only agree to an extent. While I trust those three other guys more with the ball, JB can now do what he's doing because:
(1) he's bought into the idea that he doesn't need to think score first (and second) all the time.
(2) he's gotten a better handle on when to pass and when to score.
(3) the offensive talent around him on the floor is much improved this season than previous seasons that opposing defenses can't focus on just one or two players as long as they make quick decisions and they move the ball.
Our top 6 are all capable playmakers in my eyes (whether it's on-ball, off the catch, off movement, etc.). Just need them to keep playing the right way. We'll be harder to defend come playoff time. If they could play with more pace, the better.
