Very good overall performance from Sheppard. Still don’t get why we turn up the defense in emergency situations but not all 4 quarters. Happy with the win
Well finally our first win against a serious opponent for this season. Great plays by Durant, Alpi and Reed in the fourth. But our defense was too loose you know? We could have taken back the lead much earlier in the 3rd quarter if we could only tighten our defense whenever the Bucks came back with a new play after timeout. We let them take too many good looks from 3. We really need DFS back to help us with perimeter defense, our rotation right now is too short and our guys getting tired, resulting in loose defense.
Ime really cost us this game almost with his forced double big bullshit! Also give Amen a shorter leech, Okogie should’ve been out there way more and give Jeff Green some burn.
he never said he’s not a leader. He said he’s not a tyrant leader like a Kobe or MJ who unilaterally dictates what they want everyone to do.
Sheppard held his own, pouring in some points and D when the team didn't have it. Looks like he's figuring out how to stay in plays on D and be disruptive. KD seemed to snap out of the doldrums too. Sengun and Jabari were solid as well. Good win.
Yeah I don’t get it. But on offense as much as I like Okogie he isn’t a starter. Can’t dribble drive and doesn’t finish well in the paint or near it. So many times this season he gets the ball at the short corner or dunkers spot but can’t convert. Tari is also a better 3 pt shooter.
Regarding Reed, I'm still not really seeing a point guard as of yet, but I absolutely love his shooting so far this season and it's exactly what this team needed. A deadeye, cannot ever give him any space type of sniper. Just needs to keep doing that, be smart with when he gambles for steals, and he has a long-term role here IMO. If he does ostensibly play "point guard" for this team, it will probably be in more of a Jamal Murray-esque capacity.
KD deserves some praise too. Super efficient shooting, he hold us in the game for the whole ugly stretch. Then they finished together.
Curious to see how things shake out when DFS comes back. He is supposed to be our Brooks replacement as a starter.
