It would be blind hate if I only looked at box score and saw that Knight notched a -19 in the plus/minus whereas Bledsoe had a fairly spectacular +18. But the reason why I put Knight in as a -1 vs Bledsoe as a -3 is because I watched the game and while Knight had a mostly efficient game, the flow of the game kind of tanked when he got in so he deserves a cactus nomination. Bledsoe, on the other hand, had a excellent game overall (30/4/9/3stl and excellent fg%) but he also stunk it up when the game really counted which is why he's the Big Cactus for this game.
I gave Knight the same cactus rating as you
In the last few games the Knight -3's really just haven't made much sense to me. I wasn't talking specifically about ya at all. Just a lot of -3's with no logic/ reason.
You think Bled was the player most responsible for the loss yesterday? That doesn't make much sense to me.
If it's a close game, the responsibility of a loss usually rest with those who closes out the game. So yeah, I thought Bled was responsible for the loss. I thought him taking that 3 towards the end of regulation was very ill-advised. We didn't need a 3, he's not a great 3PT shooter and he wasn't having a great 3PT shooting night either. For a guy who's strength is getting into the paint in iso situations, he totally avoided that and settled for a low % shot. Then in OT, he took 2 shots which I thought were out of rhythm and also turned it over in a critical moment.
