Re: The NBA Thread
lucky for them there’s no such thing as a killer instinct lmao. sometimes stars are good in big games and sometimes they aren’t. Tatum has shown in the past that he can show up when it matters so that’s the least of my worries.
i haven’t been in many NBA huddles lately so i don’t know much about tuning out coaches, but they seem to be running similar stuff on both ends so...
do i wish they ran more pick and roll with Tatum and Brown- sure. when they do it’s not bad, but they don’t have the shooters to run it every down, even with Williams getting better at finishing at the rim
do i wish they played Grant Williams at the five more, sure, but he’s so inept offensively there’s no way that’s an option more than 15 minutes a game. i also wish Tristan Thompson could string together more than 2 good games but he’s just not at that level anymore
Walker literally had to be schemed around to be stopped last year in the second round. when he played remotely close to that level this year they looked like a good playoff team. all-nba level play at the 1 has always been key to their success so we’ll see, but they also have no one else to fill that role if he’s not well
all of the above can be pointed to roster versatility and depth issues
