Go watch DD vs Joey Chesnut in a hot dog contest then. This team is fine and my guess is they'll add on
What about Amen’s 9 assists and 1 turnover don’t you like? He is blossoming as a pg and Reed is one of the main recipients of his growth. Last game of Reed’s 8 made shots, Amen assisted on 4 of them. Of Reed’s 5 makes this game 4 were assisted (3 by Amen). Amen spread his other 6 assists to Durant, DFS, Tari, and Capella. Jabari missed 3- 3 pointers off of Amen passes. Reed made 5-14 shots. His 3 pointer is a weapon when assisted mostly by Amen. This team needs to add another guard than can handle the ball and is a decent shooter and make Amen and Reed the starting backcourt and play at least 30 minutes together. They have the best synergy on the team and their synergy opens up the court for everyone else. I think Tari or DFS should start for a while to give Amen another 3 point shooter until Jabari gets straightened out. Amen, Reed, Durant, Tari, Sengun. Bench Jabari, DFS, Monk or Alvarez, and Capella. Ime needs to let Amen or Reed initiate the offense. Senhub can be utilized as well, especially when attacking a zone. If Durant has to get his ISO touches, I hope he at least starts to work earlier in the shot clock and passes out of the double team as soon as it presents itself.
Good game and much needed win but it still doesn't solve the things that this team is missing. Until those gaps are filled, we are still going to crash and burn like a Rocket with faulty fuel
lol a loss shows that everything is awful, but a win can be discarded? You chicken little are hilarious.
Amen's development is def good for the team, but that is not enough, when playoff starts and teams starts to key in, our current roster would become a turnover machine without a competent pg, Amen still makes lots of mistakes and hopefully he can get better at it, with a better jump shot, he is going to be the best player on this team next year
He’s really the epitome of average NBA player. Occasional top scorer, can hit some shots. The ceiling is really low at this point. And we’re paying him big bucks.
Same can be said with your analogy on wins. It's just one win. Let's talk once we see that consistency back deal? It's like saying Jabari's 30 point game cements him as a superstar
It’s not “one win.” It’s our 27th win for an approximate .63 win percentage. We’ve won four of our last five, 3 of which against playoff teams. But hey, we’re “done,” right?
I agree, Udoker has been doing the same thing he has done with Brown and Tatum. What he has been done with Fred and Dillon (borderline AS) Anytime you ride a 37 yr old something is wrong......your development has not been up to standard. This is a big problem for him developing young players and it will accompany him......
Okay, I feel like we've got off the wrong foot here. I know you are a good guy and we have been in conversations before where we are in agreement. What I am trying to say is with the way that this team is currently constructed plus the offensive schemes (if there's actually any), needs some fine tuning. Can you really say that you are confident enough that we can go far right now? I'm sure you still see some reasonable changes that needs to be done right? Again, I am not trying to argue nor attack you or anyone. I just want to see what your thoughts are with our trajectory.
I don’t think he posted anything dramatic, just facts - Spurs has a bright future - fact Flag is a franchise-player material, and with healthy Kyrie and AD we don’t stand a chance against the Mavs - fact. I mean, only a healthy AD is enough for them to beat us. Not enough sufficient shooters in our young core - fact. Reed is the only exception. I do think that Amen has a potential in developing a better jump shot, considering his huge improvement from the line this season. I don’t think you need to be emotional to point out on these facts. Even if somehow we win it this year - these facts are still valid.
