What's new

just gonna lob this out there

He's was playing like a superstar last year. He's not having as good of a year. He was legitimately one of the best defenders last year.

I believe in Gobert. He'll find some rhythm again.

Part of the problem is that the team still isn't trying to get Gobert involved in the offense. Which is a mistake I think. Maybe it's because we don't have good enough point guard play.

People forget how amazing Gobert looked after Kanter's trade. Simply amazing. JFC was going crazy with comparisons to all time greats. He had halves where he went something like 12/15/4. His energy was through the roof. He went after every play. To me, he doesn't even compare this year. He's still a good defender and all, but last year, most on here felt it was a travesty that he hadn't won defensive player of the year. How quickly people forget.
 
They don't try to get him the ball or he simply drops every pass that comes his way or has no offensive moves by the basket?

Ya, he's flawed offensively. But he's still young. He's gotta learn sometime. At least we have to hope he can. I think they should push him to try some things while we still are a team "taking steps". It's just always gonna make the offense sputter if they dont. And he may not ever be great offensively, but he's gotta get to where he's good enough and not such a liability and obstruction on offense.

The longer they wait to work on it. The bigger mistake it is.
 
Plays get run for Rudy.

When is the last time he attempted an outside shot?

It's not like they are playing for a championship or anything. Let him put up a few. He has decent stroke. He's taller than everyone. Maybe he can develop something.
 
The single biggest thing he could do to help himsle offensively is hand strength. If he is able to catch and hold the ball on his cuts...

you guys kinda took the bait. We have no plays. We play PnR. That's it. But Rudy is a target as a roll-man. But he's pretty easy to defend in that play, so.... yeah. An offensive scheme worth diddly would help him.

You don't develop a shot by just flinging it in a game. He'll get greenlighted for taking shots the very second he starts effectively making them in practice. There are certain things you need to work the kinks out of during a game. Shooting isn't one of them. This is horrendously obvious.

Mine has more to do with his finishing at the rim than Js. If he could catch the passes thrown to him from cutters he would increase his PPG by 4-6.

You know we could go back to you know shooting threes. Gobert puts pressure on the rim and our guys pass up open threes and drive into traffic? Shoot the ****in rock dudes
 
I don't think I'd do it because Lyles would just get destroyed on the defensive end.

That said, my initial two thoughts on this. Gobert and moreso, Exum, are overrated by this board.
I'd consider trading anyone.

Having said that, keep the core intact, get healthy, get pissed off this summer and work harder than they ever have in their lives, and win 57 games next year.

lol.. so who is the core exactly?

Haven't they been shooting it without conscience lately? Their 3-pt attempts are way up, right?. They need some better flex action in order to help produce some layups.

They were way up. The last two games we waited until well into the fourth to really start putting them up. Twas making me angered. Pass up on open 3, drive into traffic, bad panicked pass. Rinse. Repeat. Oh, and don't rebound either Rudy has that covered apparently.
 
I should have already admitted to not having seen much of the last two games. A mercy, it seems.
 
FWIW too, your other child Cous and Gay, both of whom I'm sure you'd tout as better than anyone on our team, are so good that they're behind us in the standings.

Suck on that for a while.
 
If you don't know, then you need to get the **** out of the forum.

Well, I know it's not Lyles, Gobert, or Exum as you eliminated those three. Why don't you just answer the question, tough guy.

How did Gay get added? I assume you meant to type Rondo? Gay isn't a UK guy, bro.
