People complaining about Silas rotation in a game where we have been mostly leading by double digits against last years #2nd best record team should slap themselves

Excellent first half coaching for Steve

 

She was the Silas of the violin playing world....

 

So is 1-81.

 

Observations from Section 118

-Team D is so much better this year but KPJ is not doing a good job of staying in front of his man. Green has been a much better defender on Ja than KPJ by a significant margin
-I had a direct look at Jabari’s block on Ja - it was not anymore a foul then the famous chase down block by Hakeem on Kevin Johnson
-KPJ is not seeing the floor well
-Alpi and Tari are a great pairing because a rebounder like Tari helps Alpi when he’s got two bigs blocking him out
-Jalen and KPJ have again been on the floor together 100% of the time. I don’t get this at all because it’s not like they have some crazy 2 man game thing happening. They basically take turns, which would suggest staggering their minutes would make sense.
-Bruno’s pass after the offensive rebound was super smart - he’s looked good doing what he does
-Green is finishing like a superstar
-When Gordon passed to Alpi, it’s almost always too low. Josh Christopher is ironically the best post entry passer on the team so I’d like to see him get some more minutes when Alpi is getting his touches.
-the chase down block by Sengun after getting blocked himself was pure hustle
-Nobody is passing to Jabari when he’s in the corner. That is easy money being left on the table even if Jabari’s been a bit cold

 

Wow, Green does it again!

 

timeout.

 

Bruno playing like crap now.

 

We don't talk about Bruno...

 

Lawd, hurry up and put Tari and KJM in there.

 

I don't understand why Silas waited....

 

Has Gary played?

 

What the **** was that pass? How do you throw it that far over the head of a 6’11 dude?

 

back to earth, whew

 

Silas lol

 

This is no where near as good of a Memphis team as last year. They are missing 2 starters and a couple bench players due to injury.

 

Jalen's unbelievable

 

That dunk hurt even my butt from many thousands of miles away.

 

Green looks like he is fresh off of 3 off seasons of training

 

No you don't actually have an argument about who's more likely to get blown past and Ja Morant just illustrated why.

Unrelated question - did you actually believe it when they used to call Ruben Patterson "The Kobe Stopper" back in the day?

 

I love Gary and think he should have a steady diet in our rotation
