The whole team is at fault for everything. But one thing we can control as individuals is body language, and this kid shouldn’t be chirping at anyone with effort like this.
Yeah, you can see Jabari's arrogance on the court sometimes, this guy should be humble he is shooting terrible right now and he never BOX out, he is getting lazy and arrogant
I always thought he was a huge dropoff from the first 2 guys picked. I thought his ceiling was an elite 3 and D player, not a star. But dude can't shoot or play defense.
I can't tell if you're being purposefully obtuse or actually believe what you're saying in the below (and follow-ups)... but here we go Do you understand what boxing out means? It doesn't mean try and jump over someones back to get a rebound - although Sengun does that fortunately without fouling here. It means there are 5 guys on the court, put a body on one, BEHIND you, and stop them from getting to the boards. In an ideal world, there isn't confusion with 2 dudes boxing out one guy, but we don't even have that here. We have Alpi switched onto a Hornet in the corner - #25 whomever that is. The shot goes up, Alpi does a quick glance to make sure #25 isn't rushing in to get the board in case he has to box out that guy. #25 isn't, so Alpi "releases" towards the board to get the rebound. At the same time, Jabari has INSIDE position on Mark Williams. Jabari's sole responsibility there should have been to see Mark Williams and put his put into him. The end. Hard stop. It wasn't Sengun's man on that play. Your man, on any play, at any given time, can be someone different. Sengun's man as noted that he needed to be sure wasn't sneaking in for a board was $25. This is a joke, right? Who gives a f where he's standing relative to the analysis of the pass? Sengun could have been standing outside Toyota Center for all I care - if Bari was going to try to attempt the pass, you have to make a good pass. If Sengun was outside of Toyota Center, that would mean throwing it as hard as possible towards an exit door lol. In this case, that means Sengun was at the 3 point line, pass it TO HIM, not the other team. Its very clear that Bari didn't see the Hornets guard sneak in, and Alpi drift out and instead decided early on he was going to drive and pass it to Alpi at the "elbow" not realizing that in 2 seconds lots can change. If we want to complain about Sengun drifting out... ok, MAYBE. Or not cutting in. ok, MAYBE. That's seperate. But this team has an issue of passing the ball legit to the other team in the most dumbass middle-school ways, and this is a prime example of that.
Does anyone else besides me think it's funny that Jabari tried to clown Lebron for being 38 years old and then Lebron blew by him to dunk the ball? He basically just escorted Lebron to the rim.
I have not been a fan at all of Bari's attitude ENTIRELY from a throw stones glass house perspective. If Bari is killing it and doing all the little things right, etc... BY ALL MEANS, have attitude. Having attitude when you suck is perplexing.
Weak coach can't discipline his players, everybody think they are alpha dogs when in reality only sengun has the offensive game and experience to back it up. Hopefully the youngster gets humbled by a better coach
bad teams breed bad habits. he's used to winning and as with all players - he's getting frustrated. I see individual growth. I see plenty of areas for significant improvement. Fire stone, allow Silas to "resign w/benefits" - bring in a vet point guard - a vet defensive anchor in the front court and let Lucas run an old school hardass workplace for the balance of the year. They miss defensive assignments - they sit They quit moving on offense - they sit They don't make the extra pass - they sit They mention fashion, evening plans - they sit They b**** at a team mate - they sit They name is KPJ - they sit
He knows how the team rolls, he doesn't have to earn anything, he was an early draft pick. They just show up and get handed starting roles and when they suck, people just make excuses for them either being young or blame their terrible play on others. He knows he's untouchable.
Jabari’s gonna be fine. toxic environments breed toxicity. This is on the org culture and coaching. Obviously Jabari has to be better than this but the lack of accountability is the biggest problem.
We need a coach to get on his ASS in public and private on defense and not to play crazy shots, and Silas is just not that coach. Nice guys, smart man, family man who loves GOD but he is not a head coach for this team. Stone will not fire him because he uses Silas as a Puppet. No coach is going to let a GM, bother him at practice, film room or give an extra halftime speech for the players. The owner needs to step in he goes to the games.
Honestly, Jabari and Bancheros FG% and 3 point % are almost the same but Bacheros shoot it at least 15 times a game.
