why did he have such a quick hook yesterday. when bev was "guarding" doncic, we sent a double immediately, every trip down. max comes in and we just put him on an island against one of the best offensive players in basketball history. the predictable happens, and we sit max for the rest of the game.
Because Ham talked a fair and equitable competition for starting positions and playing time before the season started and then revealed he’s a liar and apparently a stupid inflexible jack*** of a coach. Definition of insanity type inflexible. And that’s not even the worst of it. @KareemtheGreat33 called it before the season even started and hate when that happens …. he’s right about stuff. :THT Heart Hands:
I find no joy in being right on this but “It’s hard to be humble when you’re great as I am-“-either Ali or @sirronstuff
LOL if AD had really dropped 20 lbs like you think .... he wouldn't have a stress whatever in his p**** foot.
Second night of a back to back where Walker and AR combine for 41 minutes and 0 points and you can't carve out 6 minutes for Max?
I got your back Max … the hell with this page 2 BS. Nice game again. Couple mistakes but looking like can be another Eagle level defender. I saw it in one of his eager crouches. Gets skinny around picks to fight through when he can and you can see the added solid weight. Great actually for a 19 year old. Well timed lob he finished from LeBron and continues to hit 3s at a good clip.
Yes, Max needs some seasoning for sure. First step is not ideal, outside of his 3 he's terribly unconfident. As long as he develops he'll be fine.
good to see him get a few reps as the ballhandler in the pick and roll against nba competition, too. that will speed his growth a bit. he and reaves are going to be good enough to give us 25 minutes each at the wing positions next year, though each is best suited as a sg. iow: our offseason/trade priorities probably should put sg low on the priority list.
i like that he's bought into his current role and is working to be best at the things we really need. but i think he has the talent to grow his game past that.
