..... oh my. Does the King say Kuz has to go before he will come? Doubt he forgets his mom being included. At the least this season before or if LBJ comes ....maybe a solid elbow somewhere on him or be punk dunked on by LeBron or crushed and crumpled on a rejection or the overhead two arm heave with the basketball to his nuts like LBJ did to DLO.
Weak sauce especially starting off with "Gee" and wording compared to how personal Kuz got with LBJ and his mom and having it be funny on top of it. Know your point of course and just having fun with it. But what a tweet from Kuz. He's definitely got an edge to him and is one of those dudes who chooses also punching things (boxing) as part of his conditioning.
That Larry Nance Jr. tweet makes me cringe. Imagine the amount of egg and s*** in your face that was when they called him and said he would be an LA Laker.
Nice assist to Randle for the flush, off on his shooting but made all his attempts at the charity stripe. Not a positive game but was not a liability either. Surprised to hear that Kuzma shoots in the mid-50's at the free throw line.
Despite missing most of his shots, I liked that he was taking open shots, willing passer, and took it to the hole a few times. Shots go in and shots miss, but I'm more concerned with when you shoot (talking to you Randle) and what shots you take (talking to you Jordan). I've said it before, but worth repeating: we're wasting Kuzma if we're going to have him on the court at the same time as Clarkson and Randle.
Agree. Most of his minutes need to be w/Ball. As far as his game goes, this was his worst game I've seen; but I'm not concerned. His statistics reminded me of what I've seen from Draymond in GS at various times when you look at the box score. I hope Luke figures this out...
Caruso like you stated would keep Clarkson in check. Ennis would give up the ball...run around and then run around some more. I would be surprised if Randle is with the second unit. Caruso, Clarkson, Kuzma, Nance and Bogut is a competent set of reserves. A set-up man, a gunner, a non shooting four and a big content on doing the dirty work. What I like is that Kuzma will assimilate his game with the others and make plays when it's there. He really "sees" the game. Now if somehow my dog Hart supplants Clarkson, then that would be a second five that will not let the game get away or give up leads quickly. Bend but not break...
Even when Kuzma isn't hitting his shots, he helps make teammates better. It is good to see him able to do this when his shot really isn't falling. We really found a player in him.
I'm with tada. Kuzma and Randle work well together. The two of them actually can really make a great 1-2 punch off the bench. Their size and athleticism really makes things difficult on opposing benches and the two of them take pressure off of Clarkson who is unrecognizable from his rookie season. If we're not going to start him, playing him big minutes with Randle and hopefully Ball as well would work well too and it's what I'm starting to expect.
I sincerely believe that will change as the season progresses, the losses mount, and Nance keeps bricking shots.
