Asik is a horrible guy to play next to Davis. Its allowing us to just pivot off of him and to AD whenever we need.
By pkaz01 Go To PostWhat about Jahlil? He doesn't look like he is involved muchwell, starting the year off with an injury probably didn't help.
By DY_nasty Go To PostAsik is a horrible guy to play next to Davis. Its allowing us to just pivot off of him and to AD whenever we need.No, that pairing is fine. It's pairing them with Dante that fucks things up.
Asik + Davis + three guards works pretty well. Switch out one of those guards for a forward that isn't highly mobile with a jumpshot that has to be respected and things fall apart.
This is also why Davis, Asik, and Tyreke should never play together without a backcourt better than the Jrue + scraps we have.

By pkaz01 Go To PostWhat about Jahlil? He doesn't look like he is involved muchJah doesn't fit.
perhaps he doesn't even fit in the NBA...but damn sure doesn't fit here with these lames. We have no PGs that can pass into the post and no PFs that can simultaneously stretch the floor and defend really well. So Jah's flaws are magnified greatly (defense and rebounding) while his strengths are held back because just send double teams at him because whodafuks aren't going to beat you. Embiid is a freak of nature and even he is effected by some of the same things expect he can rebound and defend (and apparently shoot 3s.....didn't expect that).
Effort is also a problem too. He often takes plays off and that hurts even more so with the scrublords surrounding him.
By DY_nasty Go To PostAsik just doesn't need to be guardedAnd he's the only person who can set a screen to give our shooters multiple feet of space and is the only +rebounder other than AD.
This kid's pretty good.
By S.igh Go To PostThere really needs to be a distinction made between this kinda phantom flopping, and Harden's typical exaggeration of actual contact. Smart's giving flopping a bad name.
By chandlerparsons Go To PostThis kid's pretty good.I don't think he flopped there, just trying to avoid an elbow to the face.

By S.igh Go To Postwoooow washington sucksThey didn't really add much of value in the offseason IIRC. Kind stayed put
dy explain this
beli when his shot is clicking is a scary sight

Like, Asik can't play in every situation or against/with every personnel grouping. That is why he has been receiving limited minutes. When he is put in during times of his strength, he is fine. Usually, that is when the opposing team doesn't have quick bigs he has to chase around.
When he doesn't matchup well with the opposing lineup, don't play him. Pairing him up with certain other lineups can also lead to disaster, no matter the opponent.
This game, he should really only be in when Hibbert is.

By DY_nasty Go To Postbeli when his shot is clicking is a scary sightHe shoots better when moving for some reason. Get him curling off screens and shit and he becomes JJ Redick.

Even right next to the rim you can just passively guard him.

We've been guarding AD with Marvin Williams most of the game.
Jones lost his mind playing in Houston. He never used to be like this.
By Kibner Go To PostAnd Davis has been lighting Williams up all game.I mean, yeah, when he gets the ball and we don't collapse. But we've done a great job containing him. No one is gonna stop AD.
By DY_nasty Go To PostJones lost his mind playing in Houston. He never used to be like this.people told me if he was healthy he'd be a good addition. well, he looks healthy and I like what Lance Stephenson brought more.
By DY_nasty Go To PostGentry mad as fuck but his team needs to stop fouling tbh lolAgreed.
By vic Go To PostNOLA making a comeback.They've done that nearly every game this season just to lose a close one in the end.
By vic Go To PostNOLA making a comeback.Jrue is looking great. You'd never guess the guy was away from the game as long as he was.
By DY_nasty Go To PostJrue is looking great. You'd never guess the guy was away from the game as long as he was.Notice how the team's composure instantly changes when he comes in? Things just seem to run smoother and more under control without feeling rushed.
By Kibner Go To PostThey've done that nearly every game this season just to lose a close one in the end.Got the lead!
Edit: nvm
By Kibner Go To Postpeople told me if he was healthy he'd be a good addition. well, he looks healthy and I like what Lance Stephenson brought more.I'll always remember the good TJones.
A starter in his second season. Was due to make his 3rd year leap, but was cut down by injury. A scrapper, rebounder and shotblocker. He's the opposite of what we have now in Anderson. Was really hoping a fresh start would do him good.
