Harden is actually a good post defender. Giannis has honestly kinda regressed... the mid range shots are so trashy. If they want to run post they should do it with Brook... he used to be pretty good there.
Oni or Niang... 50% is the threshold... can be effective as a decoy... I think the clips would hunt him... bucks didn’t really go for that approach.
Agree on all this. Harden has very quick hands and gets steals and deflections in the paint frequently. Quin is a robot and I think it has cost us in the playoffs, and not just this year. Structure is good, but Quin over does it; ebbs and flows should dictate sometimes.
Play the 10 non Donovan minutes?
That's what I've been saying and this probably could've been happening for a few games.
You’re delusional. Ricky was better for Rudy. Ricky knew how to find and play with Rudy. The problem was he couldn’t shoot at all and it allowed the collapses on Donovan. The Jazz knew they had to get another ball handler and shooting around Donovan to alleviate him. Now that pressure relief valve is sitting on the bench and taking up $30 million in cap space. The Jazz absolutely built around both of them with Donovan front and center in their mind. Saying they didn’t is pure blindness. PS Donovan’s a big part of that bad defense on the wings you’re speaking of. Donovan is 24, if he wants to be elite elite do what Kawhi Leonard does and play something that resembles average defense for most of the game.
I mean, no. Rudy just is never going to be all that good at it. Mike knows to wait to the right second to pass him the ball.
