Glad to see him get a dunk out there finally! He looks like he has lost some hops hopefully he will regain his explosiveness. Good game.
What I was hoping to see from Pat this season was him creating his own shot INSIDE the paint. He relies far too much on open jump shots OUTSIDE the paint. I am really concerned about his legs. He has no boost or firepower. He is not getting up as high, not rebounding, not dunking. What the hell is going on?
PP just isn't a low post beast. He looks more like Amare, sweet jumper+finisher rather than beast on the block. He tried posting early this season but no success, glad to see him coming back to what works for him.
Really transformed the bench with his return (along with C Lee, and putting less pressure on Dragic) turned a weakness to a relative strength. Need more of that.
Was this some sort of surgery that normally effects players athleticism long term? He has less spring in his step and less lateral movement. His explosion is worse but only marginally in each. He is looking better but I had no idea his surgery would sap him so much. Thought it wasnt that serious.
It's his second ankle surgery. The only worrying part is how reliant he is on his athleticism. Other than that sign a backup C like Fesenko and all 3 bigs will benefit.
OK, if he aint gonna beast it up the paint, fine - i'll chill out. At least he is still effective in the paint on defense. I cant wait till he gets it all together again. At one point last season he was starting to make Scola look expendable.
That's been about once every 5 games since we acquired him. Time for management to see that for themselves and trade him away.
