Does he though? He's picking up touch fouls all the time guarding 5's, that's only gonna get worse guarding quicker players. I'm just not sure it's worth risking our only backup big man in the rotation picking up cheap fouls at the 4 for at best a marginal gain on defense and a pretty major step back on offense
Good idea in theory but with DC probably maxing out at 24-25 mins, you would be looking for 30 out of Samson in this scenario OR playing small in stretches which isnt the right fit for this Indiana teams size.
You can’t do better
And that Newton did.
It would be foolish to play two back to the basket posts together. Clingan and Sanogo are both traditional back to the basket players. They will not coexist. Samson is not a back to the basket player. The logic used last year doesn't apply to this year. Clingan/Sanogo and Clingan/Samson are two different skill sets. This is not last years team and Dan Hurley will coach these players differently than last year. I do believe I saw both players on the court at the same time against Indiana. Did you?
Very very briefly, once at the end of the half and once again in the second but I forget about when. Not sure we’ll be seeing a ton of it going forward
Hearing possibly back tomorrow, but probably not.
2:16 in the first half (12:35-10:09) and our lead went from 12-8 to 16-11 and then 1:00 in the 2nd half (4:19-3:19) and our lead went from 68-48 to 71-50. So a pretty non-eventful pairing in both short stints
Basketball is a game of legs. Feet and knee injuries are what’s concerning long term. The other injuries are bumps in the road. Anyone who thinks Donovan’s foot is not impacting his game right now is kidding themselves. Yesterday, there were a few dunk opportunities he missed that he would have made with a little more explosion. The same goes for blocked shots. However, he still impacted the game.
Give me the log of cranberry sauce. All day.
Sweet potato pie >>> Pumpkin and Apple Pie.
It's gross.
Ok so this is a sarcastic post….correct? If you read through this thread we have covered every reason why we do not have anything more than he hurt it slipping on the XL center floor and that he had a minor procedure. Most of the long time BYers say that is all we are entitled to end of story. So that is what we know just in case you were asking for real…..
I don’t read thru 10 pages of a thread. I post and read if I get a reply. 90% of threads are dead meat anyways. Was curious if Hurley or anyone said anything last night in the presser.
