But you're completely wrong, we're a great defensive and rebounding team. Hell, the only reason our offense is bad and not complete trash is our rebounding.
I prefer to keep Green BUT to those if you who ate over it (which I get)….. Green+Tate+Adams or Landale+Uncle Jeff for BI. Give BI 3 years 111 million. Use Ingram as big SG.
As of now, we are good at both defense and rebounding but great, no. And I think the last game showed it. We played a Golden State team that we should have ran off the court. Sure the Rockets were off but Golden State was getting to the basket at will and outrebounding the Rockets.
I would love BI, especially his size and especially next to FVV but how is he defensively? Everytime I see him, he just does not give the extra effort I think Ime would want.
It's a young team. Consistency is not the hallmark of youth. The range shooting woes is a little head-scratching though, particularly those guys you mentioned. We should have a much better shooting team, we get good looks. Just don't hit em. Idk, but I'll ride with these guys they are fun as hell to root for and watch play basketball. NBA Conference Stat Leaders, 2024-25 Regular Season - ESPN we have 4 guys in the top 50 of the league's shot blocking ranks, including the man himself. I think we're good there but what we won't ever see is Sengun winning a footrace with forwards. About to be 2025 brobro, stop shaking fists at clouds and get with it.
Again what’s BB IQ and how do you define it? No one in the NBA beats their opponent off the dribble “every time”. No one. Again grass is greener syndrome. Now you can make the argument we don’t have players who can get into the paint consistently. I would agree. As I mentioned we do not have a 4 or 3 that can get to the paint consistently. We don’t have a Jalen Williams or even a Kuminga. This is part of the issue why our offense is predictable. What poor defending 5 is masked by other players? Larry Bird was not a 5. And Sengun isn’t a 4. Again 4’s these days are quick and smaller. People point to Jokic. Jokic has weight, height, and length over Sengun. You ever tried to drive on tall big dudes? Not an easy task. While I agree our personnel is just not as good offensively as the top teams No where in your assessment did you mention our playing style. Much of this has to do with how teams play us and how effective we are offensively.
Of course we have flaws. However the head coach and roster is tilted towards having a strong defensive base.
What is wrong with this picture: Games of 30+ mins played: Jalen Green 19 Dillon Brooks 16 FVV 16 Jabari 13 Amen 6
We're a good team and will be a serious contender for many years with maturation and personnel moves. ( lots of ammo) The Rockets are way ahead of schedule.
I am not saying get rid of Fred. But I would like to see more Amen and less Fred in the starting lineup. This could empower Jalen to make better decisions and improve the defense. Also Redd needs Gleague time.
