Random observations
- Sengun getting isolated against Olynyk in the low post was "two Spidermen pointing at each other" stuff.
- Speaking of Sengun.... he's one of those dudes you love to have in the league. Not everyone has to be from the same mold. Sengun has lead feet, alligator arms and the lateral mobility of a tectonic plate. He runs like he needs a hip replacement, can't bend at the waist or jump, and of course... he can't shoot either. Despite all this, he makes you look like a fool 1-on-1, finds passing lanes that don't exist for anyone else, and grabs contested rebounds by... pretty much just standing in the correct place when everyone else is doing the ball-watching pogo stick routine. I wouldn't want Sengun on my team - his limitations are just too severe in the modern NBA - but I love to watch him. Dude is entertaining as hell.
- This was one of those games where Clarkson suddenly looks older than Conley. I fully expected him to be blocked by the rim on that dunk. Still, he had quite a few nice passes (along with the usual boneheaded turnovers where he dribbles into the trees and inevitably falls over).
- Kessler's biggest problem right now is going back up quickly when he gets an offensive rebound or catches a lob pass. He gathers himself so slowly, I thought I was watching a slo-mo replay at times.
- Rudy Gay's close outs are an insult to the game of basketball. Apparently keeping his hands up is just too much to ask. Time to cut ties with this guy. If he can't exist on the roster without throwing tantrums when he rightfully doesn't get minutes (as was implied in a recent article), we need to waive his ***.
- Oh yeah, Lauri scored 49 without breaking much of a sweat. It helps that he never misses from the FT line anymore. What is it now, 40+ in a row?
- The second Vando pulled off that behind the back, no-look pass to Lauri, I ****ing KNEW he'd try it again. And he did.
