Yeah, he's definitely more athletic and more physical than that we've had on bench, willing to dish it and take it. Much much better screener than Roy. He'll work fine, especially with more chemistry with guards.

Two rules the league needs to address this summer

Fouls on 3pters when players get bumped on a screen and they throw up a shot and moving screens. Both are ruining offense right now across the league.

I've seen 2 illegal screens this half by Utah - both on Roberts

Problem we've had all year - closing games in 4th, getting stops in 4th, bench bleeding points at start of 4th while Kemba resting.

Will Kemba still be on the bench after this timeout?

Nope, something that Cho should have known, same as Sessions. Lazy signings. Took the safe route and it backfired.

To be fair, with the contracts some of the guys were getting this offseason, it was hard to find somebody worth it. Just look at Lin...

In the 90s, grabbing holding, hitting cutters ruined the games
In the early 00s, traveling, carries, iso ruined the games
In the early 10s, charges/blocking, flopping, ruined the games
Now drawing fouls on 3s, moving screens ruining the games

MKG still able to make plays like that on defense, so he is forgiven + plus he just made a crunchtime jumper.

OK one MKG jumper, fine, but lets not make it a habit. Any time MKG shoots a jumper, the defense has won the possession.

MKG hitches when he isnt taking a shot off the dribble. Badly.

What does Kemba need to do to get a foul call at the rim? He's been rocked 3 times this game with nothing while it's not called the same on the other side.

Sure, but might have been better off going with a couple of cheap options with upside and hoping to hit on one. Instead we went with familiarity and continuity. It makes sense on paper, but it just didn't really work. Or do something to make a trade, clear space to secure a better option.
