What's new

Derrick Favors motor

He's not quite as electric as I hoped hed be. He is a mellow guy who does makes some highlight plays, and puts up quiet numbers.
That's just who he is, and I have come to terms with it.
 
I would actually love to see him play angry for once - turn on a Super Saiyan mode if you will.

Zero problems with Favors motor. Only thing is sometimes he just seems softer than a guy his size should. Just my two cents. Awesome player and dude. I can't believe the improvement he has made to his game. He had virtually no touch and finesse when he came into the league.

Agreed. Motor isn't his problem. Aggression is his "problem".
On those occasions when he is being aggressive it makes me ask where is this all the time. Don't get me wrong, love Favors and have long said he's one of the 2 best most consistent players on this team. But when he's aggressive he's the best player on the team and the team thrives on it.

I am waiting for that game with a starting Gobert... :eek:
 
Better things will happen when we are finally able to do more with Gobert in the offense than stick him at the elbow looking for cutters. If you zone the post when Gobert does this it makes things really tight for Favors to operate. We don't really have the three point shooters to make the other team pay for this behavior. We can attempt to play faster, but we saw during the Lakers game we may not be ready for that as a team as we turned the ball over A LOT. Our best option is to play stingy defense and score in transition like we did in the two games prior.

I guess the good part is that now teams are game planning for us, they feel like they need to throw a double at Favors. That is respect. It is also slowing him down a bit. . .
