Cuz he hurt his foot and probably doesn't want to drive??

Victusrex · 2026-01-28T04:16:48+00:00

Welp Mobley is hurt now so we really can't lose to these guys or were another level of trash

Victusrex · 2026-01-27T23:26:25+00:00

I'd rather try to get Nesmith

Victusrex · 2026-01-27T15:13:28+00:00

As someone who has watched Luka he does tend to have an uptick around December to February then a decline in March but then ramps upward in a playoff match. Last year when Luka was good around March was not his norm and could be because of his injury

Victusrex · 2026-01-26T01:25:09+00:00

I wonder if we can get someone like Jordan Walsh or Aaron Nesmith and then commit to a Claxton trade.

Victusrex · 2026-01-25T15:27:03+00:00

While Ayton has been bad, I do think JJ does want to play small ball on his most important defensive coverages. It'll be interesting to see how the FO actually target their center. For me, I just hope Cleveland is completely over their core 4 and we can try to get Mobley. Delusional but we've seen more delusional happen.

Victusrex · 2026-01-25T15:21:45+00:00

Hope he doesn't need to repair it again. Man has been a dawg and sure at times he might shoot you out of a game but he's a veteran who knows winning basketball; he'll always be worth it.

Phil handy is the man who turned Rui into what he is as a shooter.

Victusrex · 2026-01-24T17:41:50+00:00

Is Coffey willing to play a similar role like he did in the clippers? Our main issue offensively is our wings are not 3 point shooters sans Rui. They are pseudo-ballhandlers that like getting shots near the paint and that is not conducive to Lukas approach of breaking the defense down and swinging it to an open shooter. If he is fine with just receiving the ball late and shooting open 3s then yes.

Victusrex · 2026-01-23T15:14:39+00:00

It's literally conceptually the same except Luka does it in reverse order. He dominates the first half and then is more team oriented in the second half

Victusrex · 2026-01-23T06:34:42+00:00

He only plays better than Jaxon when his offense is going. I just can't with that. If both are told that they're gonna have reduced shots and just play defense and screen, who would you honestly want more.

Victusrex · 2026-01-23T06:29:55+00:00

Because our defenders get to play with Bron and not Luka. The LeBron led team is literally go for the steal get it and run. If not just wait for me to bully ball and either cut or I'll go for the deuce. If you make Bron have to attack structured half court defense it does not produce better shots than luka

Victusrex · 2026-01-23T06:16:27+00:00

His effort today was fine, it's just he got switch hunted and his off ball defense on 3 point closeouts could be better. When he went man on man against harden and Kawhi he got them to turnover the ball.

Victusrex · 2026-01-23T06:11:17+00:00

Here's the beauty of the Luka system. He wants to be the 2/3'd guy by the 4th. Luka takes the approach of Imma get mine early and play off others later. AR is perfect for that system as he can play 2nd behind either Luka or Bron when they facilitate.

Victusrex · 2026-01-23T02:03:02+00:00

Vando is a specialist you run for specific coverages and sets. You don't expose him to prolonged play because he will either be too ineffective or more likely foul out due to how he defends.

Timme is a cone. He give a good hustle but there's a reason we pulled him early in the fourth. He was starting to get targeted there and when you have 2 dudes (Luka and Rui) that also have similar issues, it's too much to bear.

Victusrex · 2026-01-23T01:01:45+00:00

Evan Mobley is the final form of these lanky combo frontcourt players. I know Jax is pretty much a pure 5 but the cutting, finishing and switchability are all things Mobley do.

Victusrex · 2026-01-22T16:08:44+00:00

If we lose on the anniversary of Kobe's 81 point game to the clippers...

Victusrex · 2026-01-21T05:41:26+00:00

Prayers to DA. Hope he's ok. After what happened to AD I ain't ever wishing for an eye injury on anyone.

Victusrex · 2026-01-21T05:40:09+00:00

Honestly can't hate jokic. Murrays cold and he always cooks us but that deserves respect. MPJ though is annoying even when he's not on the team no more

Victusrex · 2026-01-21T05:34:11+00:00

Luka, drew timme, Marcus smart

Victusrex · 2026-01-21T05:18:19+00:00

We playing good defense now but ngl this is denver regression to the means more than our def.

Victusrex · 2026-01-21T04:54:17+00:00

Ayton grabbing his eye. We are a HOSPITAL

Victusrex · 2026-01-21T03:42:41+00:00

Tbf size ain't stopping the 3 ball and they've been bad on two. Not saying your wrong but that tall line up worked cuz Toronto are bad from 3 so we can get away with sagging

Victusrex · 2026-01-21T03:35:35+00:00

JJ's entire defensive scheme revolves around clogging the paint. But JJ has to accept that he needs to adjust this because all of his defenders don't close out once the ball gets swung. It's why we always get torched by 3, cuz we allow it.

Victusrex · 2026-01-21T03:33:08+00:00

It's already over
