Despite the obvious, maybe all time offensive firepower they’ve assembled, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that there is no chance in hell we see them making noise past the first or second round. Curious to hear the counter arguments, if that’s how you really feel.
Really funny to act like Gordon and Nurk are our only rotation options when Yuta Watanabe and Nassir Little just dropped 23 combined on you guys. Drew Eubanks also posterized Rui Hachimura. On top of that we have Grayson Allen coming off the bench who’s a proven playoff contributor.
The only thing Grayson Allen proved in the playoffs is that he freezes up like an idiot and can’t even get a shot off with their season on the line.
that was one play dude, and we both know that wasnt on him. giannis and middleton wasted tons of clock on that play and then threw the grenade at a role player. not to mention Bud not calling a timeout.
and even with that, Allen avged 10ppg on 46/48/86 splits in the series. we would take that from our bench anyday.
Cmon , we know preseason performances really don’t mean anything for how players will play in the regular season. I’ve seen a lot of players who never became solid have great preseason games.
There’s preseason-good, then there’s regular season good, then playoff-good. I don’t trust any of your role players to have 4 good games in a playoff series.
But we also know that Allen, Gordon, and Yuta are legit very good NBA players and excellent shooters.
Good thing Allen won’t be holding up the majority of the offensive load. And we don’t need guys to be on fire, we just need reliable spot up shooters and defense.
Yeah but none of that matters when the Jazz sweep you after THT wins his 3rd straight MVP…
Oh wait, that’s right, preseason doesn’t mean shit …
lol who the fuck is saying that any of our bench guys are gonna be perennial talents. the point is that “no depth” is a myth at this point, we have plenty of solid rotation options come the regular season/play offs. Stay butthurt your biggest signing this season was Christian Wood.
I’m gonna love to witness the harsh realization that a whole bunch of career end of bench guys didn’t suddenly become great role players when the regular season starts. You’re talking up Yuta Watanabe, Drew Uewbanks and Nassir Little. Take a step back and think about that.
Bruce Brown won you a championship so the last thing I’d do is underestimate bench guys
That is certainly an odd understanding of both reality and what my comment said.
