Boston is about as rough of a matchup there is for him

He isnt geeat at defending the 3 & switches, both of Boston's strengths

Exactly Goga can’t move laterally he’d get worked


So like Cole Anthony on defense?

Telling me Goga can’t guard Al is crazy.

Also gives us a big who can actually play offense

He hasn’t been good


And WCJ?


Atleast he can guard the perimeter well, and considering Boston shoots almost half of their shots from 3, is really important

We need more from him offensively and effort wise

They should be playing Goga over Cole.

If Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite played PG, he’d be Cole Anthony

Franz looks scared to shoot past 12 feet but I would too if I had that hitch. Major PTSD to Fultz spastic shot.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Me, I’d put Goga out there instead of Cole. Give Franz and AB someone to run PnR with. He can defend Kornet and it frees Isaac up to wander a bit.

Wendell is a liability the second he checks into the game

Does Franz have the yips? His jumper has no hitch pregame.... Gametime it's a different shot

This offense just can't hold up. There is nothing there if they can't hit wide open shoots.

It's crazy how they can't run a play to get Harris a wide open shoot from 3.
