probably because bigs cant get low and push him back, harkless is small enough that he can get just as low as smart and keep the strength evenly distributed in his body. bigs are taking the brunt of smart down low, which makes their strength uneven in comparison to smart.



okay, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about but it's my theory and I probably didn't even explain myself well enough anyway. :D

Good news and bad news.
The good news are that we can't shot worse(i think). The bad news are that the same applies for portland and they are crashing the offensive boards.
Also i don't know what the boxscore shows, but Morris sucks.

I think it's painfully obvious Hayward doesn't know what his body will let him do anymore and so he can't be agressive.

We have to remember for his career this is the guy that was doing CHASE DOWN transition blocks.

It can't be understated how broken and ruined athletically this version of Hayward is. He has to relearn whatever he has left in his body and how to work with it.

He needs to be given a pass till at least after the all-star break next season.

Next big thing: Reality TV Meets the NBA. Follow Kyrie into the locker room after games, at practices, and hanging out. See him yell at his teammates in real time. :lol:

there's a reason we had a thread about trying to get any sort of 1st for Morris at the deadline

and can you imagine if Danny were able to have 'allowed' himself to get rid of Rozier?

I understand why we did neither. But the **** that is this roster has polluted not only this year but now has its tendrils in spoiling a lot of our future plans..

And this is the problem.

Seems to be by design. Hayward gets stuck in the corner while Morris sets screens at the top of the key. He gets a bunch of shot opportunities just from that. Brad must not trust Hayward.

Low man wins, that's the theory for linemen in the NFL and it applies to the use case you're speaking of.

Your theory has been proven over and over and you're right.

At least the team is staying engaged on defense. If they continue to do that this year, they’ll be fine.

Danny not trading Rozier for a hamburger might be the worst move Danny has ever made.

Tatum, my man... I’m a need you to start playing better offensively. Too much dancing with the ball.. Rozier style. Get to your spot and make a move. Goodness.

His trade value isn't that bad. I reckon Danny could have at least gotten a bacon cheeseburger with fries.

don't buy it at all, he is ours at this point, if he was healthy he would be out there. they probably MADE him rest the knee because you know he'd play through it if allowed, he's a tough lil dude.
