COACH OF THE YEAR….BUT PLEASE PLAY ROB DILLINGHAM
This coach is horrible, he's going to wear out Ant man by not playing these young guys on the bench, what is Rudy and Conley doing, absolutely nothing, put in Garza and Rob and these young guys and see that games will be easier. I could coach better
Y'all Rob fans need to get off his Dill for a second. the second he gets put in we're getting cooked left and right because of Rob's size. Kings would have a field day attacking that. Put Rob in a game where he can actually be useful
Kat would have been even better tonight
Wolves are in trouble. Randle plays out of his mind. Minny wins by two in the last seconds. Ant hoisting 15 threes a game at a 36% rate shooting 40% from the field. The D is awful from an effort and execution perspectives. Thunder looked great. They’re the benchmark in the West.
defense is overloaded and tilted and ant got a favorable 1 on 1 matchup he looks uncertain/ and easy to read on a face up he can control the situation by posting up with the back to the basket and reading/ anticipating if help is coming based on your strength of ball security side or if he wants to roll to the basket. just another look to give the defender while securing the ball. get into it early and use the time to your advantage. if you overpowering your defender the opp gonna feel the pressure and likely act on it which will favor you at the rim or at the three line that time or nxt. gets reps in and see the possibilities out of it. dont fall in love with the results but see if its a position of strength or weakness. if it feels like its a winning play work on it if not then just know its there as a wrinkle. you want to be predictable in position but unpredictable in your action = a "position of strength". when i mean your i mean you as a domino but your teammates as the other dominoes. action is greatness and ACTIONS is the key to winning.
rudy NOT sprinting back to protect the paint is a disaster. He has one job and thats to sprint back and get in the paint. start there and see if that doesnt help against those apparently easy buckets after misses and makes. having your anchor back on defense is the backbone of the defense. ive not seen him create one single turnover after he loses a d rebound so if you not winning that rebound WIN THE RACE BACK to the paint is his name of the game. A b line is best for speed but he can also run and read where the outlet threat is and use his length to deflect or briefly disrupt but still get tf back. let his help defenders play the passing lanes if they can be played.
rudy ball security is unacceptable. seeing him not secure the ball by cuffing it and pivoting or tipping it in the direction of a KNOWN teammate (without creating an offensive foul) to read the outlet passes is just not right for a professional vet. he can also hold the ball over his head with two hands on it to shield the ball. worst case scenario someone tries to jump at it fouls or it creates a fast break opportunity. RUDY rebounds have to be 100% going up the floor. the verbal communication on rebounds is nonexistent i see ppl crashing it and two players on the ball. clean it up you have to be able to trust your teammate and allow yourself to move into the nxt winning action. means if you not getting the rebound are you the outlet, at the half court for a screen for transition or set up to be an immidate threat in the half court. too often kno one knows their strengths and roles and too rigid in thought.
Respectfully, Ju was bullying them like a seasoned Zion
rudy shows flashes of rock hands and soft touch its just inconsistent. situationally know when you gotta have those rocks to deflect rebounds to teammates or to secure the ball vs when you gotta have that soft touch work on it ffs. his teammates should have confidence in his hands and he needs to deliver on their trust. gotta be able to walk and chew gum man, when your moving do it with purpose and openness to receive the ball. imagine a 7'1" wide receiver who just runs down field but is nvr getting open or expecting a pass and fumbles every pass thrown to him THATD BE THE JOKE OF THE LEAGUE. that turn around fade middy last yr dont tell me you dont have the coordination…but more often than not what i witness leads me to believe you not it man bc your floor skills in certain situations are in the basement 10/10 x you get exposed.
Winning the games within the game for yall from a discipline and team stand point must be knowing the limit to winning the moment vs the risk to recognizing that the nxt moment by strategy, communication and trust is winnable and losable by your decision from the past split sec decision/ moment/ situation. the more winnable plays you stack the more you gonna dominate and have real aura confidence not just some superficial hopeful belief; yall franchise has nvr won a chip and that includes y'all in that conversation. the talent is their its just iq bond and many movements are wasted bc its unnecessary, unwarranted and done out of desperation which we all know is not always the best version of ourselves for the team and game. lucky for yall you have so many games and time inbetween to define "twolves winning bball" and if it aint it youll find out sooner or late dont ignore the signs ffs.
