I think the leash will be extended this year. With Jalen gone and our best player being geriatric, he’s going to have to lean on the goon to keep from overplaying Durant to keep him healthy. At least I hope that’s what happens.
I don't think it's a given that KD will be the best player on the team, highest scorer? Maybe. Best player? Most likely Sengun or possibly Amen if he has a massive leap offensively.
If Amen could develop a consistent mid range jumper, the possibilities with those three would be almost limitless.
If Amen gets a reliable jumper and Alp improves in that area as well, I don’t really see a limit in the team’s capabilities
Because even the refs felt sorry for his antics, they saw how it actually fuelled the opponent’s fire and understood it was quite entertaining to watch Brooks embarrass himself. I’m more happy he’s gone than Green tbh.
Felt it was overrated though he was good enough that the whole “trying to get under people’s skin” thing was actually to the detriment of the whole team. And in the play-offs he was exposed for being a fraud imo.
The FVV, Green, Brooks, JSJ, and Sengun lineup was great defensively. I'd attribute it to Brooks and JSJ being able to switch with Sengun so Sengun could stay near the basket and FVV being able to communicate, guard some at the POA, and able to switch onto bigfer players. Maybe some overrate Brooks's defense, but I have a hard time seeing him as a detriment. As much as I like FVV's defense, he's not good enough with JSJ to anchor a great defense with Brooks not being better than a detriment.
Big Allen Shane-Ghin is at it again. This commentator got his name right though Hitting threes unconsciously, still has to do it in the NBA consistently but wow.
You missed the part about getting under peoples skin, that was to the detriment of the team. His defense itself was solid, but the antics and trying to start something most of the time backfired. Butler completely owned his ass in the playoffs.
More like Joker reverts back to Old Man Sengün, it is not Benjamin Button out there. Right now the momentum belongs to Türkiye and Türkiye has slightly the more balanced team on paper.
