Hopefully so. I'm not out on him, but he needs to start changing the way he plays before he gets stuck on playing this way forever. I mean he doesnt dunk if there is even the slightest chance someone can contest, which is the thing I hate the most.
Yeah, totally agree with the lat sentence. Its maddening. Having a no skill rim runner is a lot less fun when they don't occasionally dunk all over someone.
No they didn't learn from it. How do you stop a hot catch-and-shoot player? You take the catch away from him. Good coaches recognize it early and glue a player on a hot catch-and-shoot player to limit the damage. Hardy did put Sexton to chase Merrill, but it was too late - the damage had already been done by that point.
Bout time someone sees this I’ve been the voice of reason this year. I’m not right about everything, but on the most important things I have been. I told y’all we shouldn’t trade for Collins, I was shot down, then we traded for him, and now most are with me that was a mistake. I said we need to trade JC and certainly not start him. I was scoffed at, then proven right. Most on here thought we were a fringe playoff team, I said pump the breaks… that we aren’t that good. I was proven right. Then I said we should openly rank and get our pick back. I will be proven right, and @Handlogten's Heros has been there at every turn trying to shut me down, he has been and will continue to be proven wrong.
The zone isn’t working, but in spurts. It’s something I’ve always felt should be used as another look but in spurts. IMO man should be the philosophy for every team and use zone as a change up ploy in spurts.
Kessler is what he is at this point in his development. He's a great rim protector but still lacks physicality. When he fights for rebounds or waits for a pass under the rim, I'd like to see him to use his body to push defenders away and off balance. Also, I'd like to see him develop his short-distance shot similar to what Allen has.
Wut? I was against Collins from the get go. When healthy we are a 30 winish team… been where I have been since day 1. Not sure why @HermanG is going at me without tagging me… not sure why you are quite literally throwing dirt on my takes that quite literally never existed but go ahead and look stuff up if you’d like.
Post receipts and tag me or stfu
Park him in the corner where he’s 48% as of yesterday. Hit the offensive glass… sneak in an occasional back door alley oop.
Sure. Collins had 16 points and 5 boards in just 22 minutes with 62/50/100 shooting, and this is the bulk of your game thread analysis:
He shot a terrible turnaround and the PnR comments are because of a conversation some of us had about how to best use Collins. I don't think his pick and roll works. He had two very bad turnovers in a stretch of like 60 seconds... apologies for commenting on that.
Its not bias to call things out, but thats 11 negative posts spread out all over the thread. Now you play a gradeschool level "I wasnt paying attention to everything" card while simultaneously digging your heels in deeper with the BPM comment.
I'm 100% sure he is a better asset and use of space. He also was playing pg at times due to injuries lol. He's a much more flexible piece and better value contract. That's again another discussion I've had with other posters.
I really wasn't trying to kill Collins on the PnR stuff either. Was simply noting when I saw it as tracking only does so much. I don't think he received the ball on any of the plays... he also wasn't rolling particularly hard.
Cmon now.
