It was. Some bad breaks from the refs really stunted him but I always like Julius aggressive on the glass.
Played another solid if unspectacular game, but didn't play the 4th because Thomas Robinson was so hot. I like that he's shooting more from outside and he's doing a good job of not holding the ball as long as he was (still a little too much). The focus as always is on his molasses slow defensive reads.
Director to camera person .... watch your headroom moron do you want to work one of these gigs ever again?!
Disappointing game from Julius. I like that he tried to be part of the good vibes in the start of the game, but he never really put his stamp on a game when we were missing D'Angelo. Julius is our second best player and should play like it. For him to put up just 11/8/3 in 29 minutes is not good enough.
I agree with what you said above, but I do have to say that shimmy/shoulder fake he did to Pau...... Awesome! Pau nearly fell down.
That and his block on Slow-Mo were his great highlights from last night. I wish Randle posted up more often honestly. He likes to take guys off the dribble, but lately his dribble has been very loose. Almost lead to a couple turnovers last night.
A quiet thread for him, but he played about as well as he's ever played last night. He's still got a hundred miles to go on defense, but Julius is at his best when he's working this hard on the glass. Julius tends to get his head down when things don't go his way. It's as much a sign of immaturity as anything that Russell goes through. Clarkson was asked after the game how can he tell when Julius is going to have an inefficient night or an efficient night and he said basically that as long as Julius is working hard and has his motor going, he's effective. Julius only ended up with 6 rebounds, but 5 of them were offensive. Part of the issue is that the Sacramento bigs are long and rangy which we all know he struggles with, but Julius is stronger than any of them so I appreciate how aggressive he was. There were times early in the game when he and Russell and Nance Jr. were arguing about defense and usually that's when Julius sort of packs it in mentally. He came back and had as strong a game as I've seen out of him. Russell did the same thing a few games back. The kids are finally learning! It only took 157 games! Posted this in the other thread, but it was supposed to go here.
