Gabe Vincent Discussion: JJ Would Love 10 Gabe Vincents

He's looking good and I'm thrilled honestly. Definitely helps us if he can contribute consistently.

 

The whole point of Gabe when we signed him was that he was DLo insurance. Certainly not as dynamic offensively, but he was a steady hand that could make open shots and defend physically if/when we ran into a matchup where DLo struggled. Well now DLo isn't here at all and Milton has been bad, so we really need Gabe right now. Glad to see him have a strong game.

 

Lol..Shake is getting about 8 mins a game, that's not even enough time to warm up properly.

 

Heat Gabe is finally here!

 

He's frustrating as that his shot just seems very streaky game to game.

Good enough to be a playoff caliber backup PG but not sure I trust him as the 5th guy in a closing rotation. DFS looks like he going to lock up that 4th spot but it would be nice to have a 5th

 

Good physical defender, finally complementary to the other guys in court

 

When are you going to apologize and tell me I WAS right in thinking he could be an equally effective but stronger Schroder?



…. you had me pressured into an apology when he was sucking.

 

I'm eating whatever Ox is eating with regard to Max

 

He shot 33.7 % from 3 in three regular seasons in Miami .

Lakers took a gamble on a hot playoffs run but this is who he is and was even when more involved in the offense

 

i think the hot playoffs run was just a proof-of-concept thing that at least shows he's not likely to just wilt under playoff pressure like dlo did. really think the gabe signing was a direct and necessary counter-measure to keeping dlo around.

he's properly slotted in his role now, imo, and i don't expect him in closing lineups.

when we close games, lebron and reaves are the ballhandlers and AD is the center. DFS is will be one guy, as pioneer said. i don't know who the 5th is, but it's not gabe.

right now, it's probably rui, right? vando's a shaky offensive option in do-or-die situations.

edit: also, watching schroder last night got me thinking that i'm not sure i'd trade gabe for him at this point.

 

My boy Hood still injured from getting off the bed in the morning

 

Yeah that diet as you’ve said is working out really well for him keeping him lean and healthy.

 

ruh roh. random knee soreness on a guy who was dead for a year isn't great.

 

I think soreness is a rest DNP. It's against Charlotte and we're trying to manage him. With Vando back, we have a bit of room to give a rest here and there to these injury prone guys

 

Out.

 

I remember that. Hope this isn't the return of a bone bruise situation.

 

2 weeks

Then 2 more and well we all know the rest

Ugh
