He also brought jack ****ing **** else to the table, most importantly. When he wasn't on fire, he was a net-negative contributor. A liability.
He's been averaging 19 points per game in February...
Hood wasnt a good defender, but he wasnt a liability.
Isn't that basically what I said? Not sure why you quoted me here. Unless it was to back up my point?
I disagree.
sure, my point exactly. Oscar probably could have averaged high 20s scoring. But that's all, like this dude. Lame defense and next to zero creation
He was never some big liability. He was just a guy who would occasionally get beat defensively. This year was an anomaly because he played about 1/6th of his total minutes with Gobert. He actually played w/ Joe Johnson more this year than with Gobert, which really hurt his defensive rating.
He got to the foul line 6 times tonight.
He was a liability as a wuss and a chucker.
He was a health liability, that is about all.
And he was a split second late on most of his reads, and brought a cloud around with him, and was always a bad defender, and didn't get to the line or cut for ****. He's in a perfect role now: Other guys create shots for him and there's little pressure on him individually.
He is a starter on the team that gets the most media attention in the NBA. I would say there is way more pressure on him now.
You obviously have a vested interest in your boy, and you'll find or make up whatever you want to suit your narrative.
