PG: Sun Burned

Post #41 » by **ReasonablySober** » Tue Mar 25, 2025 4:48 am

There's a LeBron play from at least 10 years ago that I thought was the absolute ultimate late game play if you had a guy who was physically able to pull it off. LeBron started from the baseline and flashed to the top of the key where he caught it. Almost in the same motion he flashed back to the hoop for a layup. Maybe one second, absolutely unstoppable.

I've never seen it done since, and I don't know why. If anyone knows what I'm remembering and has a clip, I'd appreciate it. Looked like the single most unstoppable play ever.

Kuzma has some utility as a 5th guy who's asked to defend, rebound, cut, screen, and shoot open 3s. He's capable of being a positive guy in that situation. It's a nightmare watching him try to make any decisions with the ball, though.

I also don't know about having Brook on the court to guard in a situation where the opposing team could take or 2 or 3 in limited time. Gives him a lot of space to potentially cover. He just backed off Booker off the switch. Not a switchable guy, Doc.

And we're not in that position if Kuz was not sabotaging us tonight. Lapsed back into the bad habits on o, & didn't help us in any area. Big shot late, but then Durant got him right back. Doc has to pull him & give him a talking to. He's a bad coach, though.

Kuzma is a bad player. Doc was totally outcoached by Bud; this is what happens as a consequence of wrongly firing Bud. The way Bud used kd as a decoy to get booker wide open, was a thing of besuty.

Bud fired. Jrue traded. Khris traded. Got Doc, Dame, Kuzma. Result is obvious.

I also hated the trading of AJ Johnson.
Horst failure.

Yea it was #6 here.

Watch on YouTube

Anyway my point is Giannis could do this every single time.

I wanted Filipowski at 23

I'm more upset about Trent not reognizing the Durant double team with 40 seconds left and not passing to wide open Lopez on the corner three and instead getting his shot blocked. I thought that could have been the outcome of this one.

Cautiously avoided every possible spoiler so I could enjoy this one on delay and I gotta say that sucks.

Brook screening Trent off the ball on the final Suns play was something new :lol:

We are all collectively over this team that no one has mentioned Giannis' free throw woes or jumper falling off in a tight game. Things really are different when your team stinks.

Take me back to when our biggest problems were Alex Lasry leaking draft boards. :cry:

Without Giannis we don’t have a team.

What has this brick laying imposter done with the real AJ Green?

Plossum · Post #57 » by **Plossum** » Tue Mar 25, 2025 5:27 am

Is this team even good enough to blow a 3–1 playoff series lead?

I told my wife Brook was going to take the last shot. Pretty darn close.

Yes very strange about Green’s offense vanishing. My theory, I could be wrong, Green has lifted his defensive efforts a lot in order to become a regular part of the roster perhaps on the way to becoming a starter. He never used to put so much energy on defense earlier. I think this has messed with his smooth shooting ability, Just like Ajax becoming useless because of his poor offense, Green is on the border of being put into hibernation by Doc because of his new non existent offense.

Was this ever in doubt?
