@undercoverNBA I would say, oh it’s just a regular season game in the middle of November on the road when we had no momentum, except he did this in game 4 of the WCF
@undercoverNBA I think overall he is a very good coach but he is probably one of the softest coaches in the league in terms of throwing in the towel too early
My guess on when we get out guys back:
JWill: 1-2 days
Topic: 7-10 days(g league ramp up)
Sorber: 1-2 weeks
Chet: 6-8 weeks
I think JWill will come in and take the Peavy minutes and Clifford will take the Peavy role while being more offensively capable.
His shot is slow and not smooth. He needs to work on it to a point where his release is both faster and more effortless.
It’s going to take countless hours in the gym, but JWill did it, Peavy can too.
Comp rotation:
Shai (36) | Stirtz (20)
McCain (28) | Caruso (24)
Ajay (35) | Clifford (18)
Kenrich (27) | Peavy (5)
Hart (25) | Mara (24)
It’s going to be hard to play Peavy 10+ minutes if Shai and Mitchell are not cooking offensively. He is just not a threat.
- flashed playmaking feel when he went up for his first shot and was able to pass it back out when he felt the heavy context from behind
- threw a picture perfect lob to Mara
Overall, given the circumstances, I’d give him a 7/10 grade
Thoughts on Nique’s debut:
- pretty surprised how much 1st half minutes he got, Mark must like him
- I like the touch he showed on his two makes
- did not force anything in the non blowout minutes
- will have more scoring opportunities when he learns how to play with Hart
…
- really impressed me with the defensive rebound he had where he was able to box out a big wing in Camara with one arm and control tip the board to the other
- looks like a wing sized player out there
- no look deflection shows he has off ball awareness
I’m tired of the inconsistency in player height measurements. Here are all the Thunder’s players heights in shoes:
Shai - 6’6
JDub - 6’6
Mara 7’4.5
Kenrich - 6’7.5
Clifford - 6’6.75
Topic - 6’7.25
Sorber - 6’10.75
Peavy - 6’7.75
JWill - 6’10.25
Stirtz - 6’4
McCain - 6’3.5
If the Blazers beat us, it is what it is.
But the fact that they could not take one of the Spurs/Lakers games pisses me off man.
It makes me want to say something mean like Dame was a huge failure outside of Portland so he came back.
