Yeah I think they were closer in effectiveness against Kyrie than I thought they'd be. No neither Russell or Clarkson could defend him, but when they wanted to they were able to move on him too. I'm glad he knows what he needs to work on: DEFENSE. His defense is starting to really lag behind his offensive effectiveness.
JC has the athletic ability to be an amazing defender on the 1, but he just has no instinct on the defensive end in that position. Also, loved watching him in the first half because when he is hot he can light it up. Unfortunately, he did not get the same love from the announcers as other players throughout the game. The only thing going forward with JC, is I do not know where he falls. Does he end up as a better version of Monta, a similar scorer to KMart or something better? My highest prediction would be a more impactful Monta who can actually defend the 1 extremely effectively.
LOL. I think we have some incredibly intelligent posters here I've been a member at other sports teams' sites; we've got it going on here in comparison.
5-7 in the first half from 3. He was bombing them from all over, a couple deep ones too. Yet if you were listening to this game on radio you wouldn't have known it, you'd have thought it was Porzingis and maybe LaVine out there by themselves.
Did NOT like how casual he was during the skills competition against CJ. Go at him and bring out your competitive spirit. Dude was just letting him lay it up first and not going full out. Opposite end....... look at how Towns competed. Win/Lose he was going for it.
Yeah JC played the "i'm too cool for this" card during the competition, which I hate. If you're in it, win it.
