2020-2021 Regular Season Game 59: New Orleans Pelicans (25-33) at Orlando Magic (18-40)

Vuc walks up the floor several times per game, rarely even offers resistance at the rim. He also won't even make an effort to guard the perimeter the majority of time. How often was he called a lazy bum?

You have had at least 5 posts in every single game thread for years complaining about Vucevic's terrible and lazy defense, how soft he is, how everyone is destroying him, how he lacks effort on that end, etc., and you are still doing it every day a month after he left.

Free world. Plus I was the only one that was going to call him out and I used examples.

Bamba looked to be out of shape in past games and it was appropriate to say he wasn't running down the floor. In the last game he ran the entire time and people were calling him lazy? Are there examples?

When I called out Vuc, I used examples for each time I did it.

I'm just going to go with "the coaches elected him to the All-Star Game twice. They might know better than us"...but I'm moving forward regardless. It's pathetic to bring up Vuc whenever Bamba is critiqued.

I'm just showing the bias.

What a crazy turn this thread took. Vuc and Mo aren't bad at basketball. They aren't lazy either. They're soft. Both of them. Its not even up for debate. Just watch them play. Its not that they can't make shots or get rebounds or get blocks here and there. They're just soft, mentally and physically. They aren't winners. Plenty of players have less skill than them but are winners simply because they compete at a higher level. If I was trying to win, I'd take Steven Adams as starting C over both of them and wouldn't think twice about it. Clint Capela too. Wendell Carter, no doubt about it. Obviously, you need talent and lots of it but there is no replacement for simple toughness and willingness to do what it takes to win. I can't think of a single charge Vuc or Mo has taken. Meanwhile Cole Anthony will throw himself in front of a guy twice his size without thinking twice about it. He'll even challenge someone much much taller than him. Chuma will fly out to the 3 point line to close out, stop and still try to chase his man down. Some guys just have it, the winning mentality.

To be fair I can’t remember any center taking many charges.
