Has it even been lately? I’ve kinda always monitored him from afar as a Hornets fan (we had interest in signing him before he picked y’all) and his defense always way over achieves, you’ve made it out of the first round without Luka/Reaves, etc.

He’s been a top 5-10 coach for 1-2 years imo. He just didn’t have the roster was my perception.

Luka’s usage is not sustainable over a whole season.

And Blazers the first go-round. They had an 11 point lead in the first quarter but the Blazers crawled back and it was competitive until the last minute when the Blazers pulled ahead.

Ayeeee pulled it out though. Love me some ARs dagger

his offense is atrocious

hence why he cannot be in a lineup with luka doncic lmao

Not bizarre at all. If he gets consistent minutes, teams start to scheme against him and he truly becomes unplayable. But in spot minutes here and there, he’s a menace.

Atrocious is a compliment. Vando has straight bricks for hands and is a walking turnover.

I’m normally a Vando believer, but his defense has regressed as well. I still think he can be good for 5-10 minutes of hustle defense, but JJ is justified reducing his role.

JJ seemingly hates this guy enough to bench him and give the worst player in the NBA (Looney) multiple chances over him.

Kevon Looney has played a total of 22 seconds of basketball in the last 7 games.

Jarred Vanderbilt has been in the rotation in almost every game since the Portland loss.

Vando has played twice as many minutes as Looney this season. Every single one of Vando’s starts has come after Looney was benched.

Your entire sentence is factually inaccurate.

His defense is not that good either, he used to be very good but not anymore

He’s unplayable because of his offense and his defense is not at that level where u can justify it

Rodman is just a tiny bit better at rebounding than Vanderbilt…..:)

It was a different era too. Nowadays you can’t really get away with having more than one non-shooter on the court at one time, and Vanderbilt is not a center so you can only pair him with a stretch center. That’s why he’s been coming off the bench with Mamu and it works, though I think Adou has been doing a better job in that role than Vando these last two games due to being stronger.

Reaves gets a power up when the rest of the stars are injured. I swear to god last regular season he had a mini linsanity run whenever both Bron and Luka were out

Turns out players actually play better and are more engaged when there isn’t just 1 guy with the ball all the time and using every possession.

those are all parody accounts or saying it as a joke. if wemby sat out against the kings they would also make the same joke. its not that serious

It was also on Reddit on the post where it said he’d sit out.

saw plenty here too tbf, but dude just needs a night off after carrying this roster the way he has been

Nico is intrigued. Throw in a pick and it might just work.

Nobody says SGA is getting carried ffs you guys are letting a couple Twitter bots with a microphone set narratives that’s the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard. Besides last year the lakers over the rockets was from a great series from LeBron and the other vets and was a massive upset, why should Luka get “backlash” over it thats fucking dumb.
