Did the lax schedule early undermine our conditioning? I know we play heavy minutes but we also had alot of time to recover Now . .. not so much The energy in this team is off I just cannot put a finger on it Rocket River
The injuries hurt us and Mikes stubborness with his short rotations really has the team fatigued. Thank goodness Morey got back to his real job and got Green over here. He should of gotten him to the team the moment Moute went down.
When Luc get's back Green needs to take most of Tucker's minutes. Tucker hustles but his deficiencies are showing big time with this stretch. Need Green's length and athleticism.
Just reposting what @J.R. posted in the game thread: This actually made laugh even though i'm not exactly in the right mood.
If Green defends as well as Tucker I'm all for it. Tucker was just fine when everyone was healthy. There was plenty of scoring and defensively he wasn't playing that many minutes so he was pretty fresh. I'm confident in PJ. I think Mike will have to find a way to expand that rotation to 10. Green can also create his own shots which helps a lot in this system.
Definitely an issue. Shooters rely on their legs. They’ve been shooting a lot so far. Also add a short rotation, injuries, and Gordon driving more to the endurance issue.
It's scary he thinks that dribbling the air out of the ball for 20 seconds and chucking a contested 3 is a "good look" for a NBA level coach.
Yeah Tucker looked better when the roster was at full strength but him having to guard the bigger wings and asked to guard bigs during this injury stretch has exposed his deficiencies. I like Tucker and he brings needed hustle to the team but I'm glad they added length and athleticism. Teams are starting to exploit Tucker on both ends right now because of his lack of size and consistent outside shot. Green looks like he can shoot some and also has the hops to finish at the rim.
The real lesson should be you can’t afford to not to have substantial depth and not be afraid to use it mike.
No because they wouldn't really want to play basketball and they would rub up against people too much.
Keep that 'hit over in NOLA w/Sean Payton. Harden needs to Ayahuasca purge in the off season to loose his ego and desire for the MVP, only then will he see the true beauty in winning team basketball...
