Have you seen him in post game interviews and how he treats the media? Guys an angry douche.He's very intense and very competitive in a nasty way on the floor. I'm not sure we are justified in calling him a "hateful young man"...
I wanted to point out that we started with Favors on Jokic (probably because Favors is stronger than Gobert and can hold him off and slow him down alone in the post more easily. For the 5 something minutes Favors was on Jokic he had a grand total of 0 points, 1 rebound(defensive) and 0 assists. Favors was not giving him ANYTHING(and we were leading by 8 in that stint). I think Quin's plan was working great. Until Favors decided to do whatever it is that he wanted to do there. That was very poor judgement on his part, especially knowing how important he was to the team in this specific matchup.
This is very uncharacteristic for Favs so I'm very willing to forgive and forget that one. I hope he realizes he's still very important to the team.
Imagine if they had Rudy and Donovan? They could have been a contender, they could have been somebody, instead of bums...
That would be such a waste of Jokic... he would have to play the Derrick Favors role...
The schedule early in affected him too. (As it did many of our players)Just thinking how brutal this season was for Donovan until recently. He had it so rough at times. But he looks like a 22-year-old again instead of a 45-year-old. I guess it's possible it was general soreness but the difference in the way he's moving is stark, and I wonder if he played through an injury.
Anyways, great to see he's back and I think in the long run being tested like that will be a good thing for him.
Scariest dude in the league.https://www.deseretnews.com/article...ith-derrick-favors-mason-plumlee-ejected.html
"It's very difficult, no doubt," Crowder said of not reacting. "If we was in the park it would've went down. It would've went down for sure but like I said, you've got to think about your teammates, you've got to think about the situation that's at hand and we're trying to win the game here and I didn't want to make it a me against him but it would've went down back if it was at a park."
