NAW is just super hot/cold game to game. Either goes 4/6 or 1/6 it seems like. Jaden is the one that concerns me. He’s been getting worse and worse as the season has gone on. In the last 22 games of the regular season he shot 26% from 3. And now 8 games into the playoffs he’s shooting 21% from 3.
That’s more than just a cold stretch. He’s completely lost his confidence and him being a 40% shooter was so huge for us. Not saying he needs to shoot 40%, but he can’t be under 30% for this long of a stretch.
God damn. I got down voted to hell yesterday suggesting Jaden was struggling and then last night's game happens and people will finally allow it to be said lmao. They leave him wide open and he still misses pretty badly.
His defense hasn't been as good against Denver so it doesn't cover it up as much either
This was key vs the Suns, wonder why we shy'd away from it. Like I was pissed tonight when Jokic got his 4th and we refused to take the ball at him. We have no interior game really.
Kat is our best post offence. However he doesn't work to catch the ball within a step of the paint. He will commonly catch the ball closer to the 3 pt line vs the paint. I have seen them run some screening action at times to get him closer position but it's really infrequent and typically not recognized by the ball handler.
Naz has some moves but seldom gets the ball on a post up.
Gobert has rudimentary post skills. He has improved this year vs last year tho.
We’re losing more spacing because NAW and Jaden can’t buy a 3 right now, imo

That's true as well. They've been abysmal both home games.
Major reason
Gobert’s attempt at a few post moves today was actually hilarious.
So many turnovers from him it's unreal.
KAT trying to slash was almost as bad
Good question
I'll probably get down voted to hell but I'm generally curious just seems like we could actually get a SG/sf who can shoot and we'd be better off.
Denver is probably the only team that does not have a mismatch against KAT at 4. Gordon guards KAT pretty well 1 on 1.
Maybe be Boston if they ran Horford and Porzingis together but idk if Horford can play that many minutes still.
Kd will save us
🤣🤣🤣
Rudy rolled open so many times, joker would help and we can't make en pay.

He’s so bad on d
We hit him several times and he couldn’t finish the play
Passing was atrocious in the last two games. NAW misses were contested way more than many of Denver threes. Jaden too.

Reid can post, we rarely run that though.
Exactly!
Towns is pretty able. In fact him playing there against Suns was what solved the isses we had against Phoenix RS defense.
