I think defensively he is fine. Offensively, he is just too timid. I saw him multiple times losing the ball down low because he was hesitant when he needed to go up strong and force the issue. I am thinking maybe he is scared of having to shoot FTs. After a decent regular season, he is bad again at the line.
Several things. He was sick early in the series. The Warriors are taking away the lob pass. Plus Draymond/Durant are allowed to hit him on the arms with impunity.
Poisoned by the Warriors death lineup. Don't worry -- he'll be back to destroying fools in the Denver series
If Durant leaves, Clint will no longer be a liability in this match-up. We just match up better against them by going small. Milwaukee will continue to present similar issues unless Mike puts Clint on Giannis. There are few teams that Clint isn't a great matchup against, sadly the two that immediately come to mind are teams we would have to beat most likely to win a championship. I'm almost hoping that after we win game 5, Cousins tries to go in game 6 to get Clint some burn.
Capela needs to step up. Foul trouble will be a factor in Oakland for our other guys. We can't afford for Capela to not be at the top of his game in that situation. And, man, his free throw shooting has been brutal.
what pisses me off most about him is not even being able to make half his FT's. snowflake disintegrating under pressure
Clint was kinda soft yesterday in a couple of plays, missed an easy dunk and layup, but overall i'm not sure why a lot of you are surprised by his performance in this series, if they take away the lob (which is something the Warriors are doing perfectly) that's basically it for Clint on offense, he can't create his own shot and he can't shoot so...he's just not that kind of player. On defense we switch everything and he's pretty much always on the perimeter guarding two MVP caliber players, all things considered i think he's doing ok, it's just a bad match up for him, just like we're for Jokic.
If Cousins was healthy... Capela would be playing and we would be 3-1 or 2-2. ...that being said, 9 rebounds in limited minutes is not bad.
