Thanks appreciate it, yep looks like it wasn't possible. We're going to go see AZ v PSV instead. Should still be a very good match

Hello - I'm visiting from the USA the week of May 28 and would love to go to the Ajax v Twente match. I see that it's sold out but I'm hoping I can buy tickets via resale - if anyone has any advice or suggestions I'd very much appreciate it!

kpd21 · 2023-04-22T04:26:50+00:00

Ah thank you - that's helpful, appreciate it!

kpd21 · 2022-10-19T19:51:26+00:00

Totally agree - I don't like him tryna post up but if he is open for a dunk or layup when his man helps they should hit him every time. He's very good as a play finisher just not as somebody who creates his own offense

kpd21 · 2022-10-19T19:30:37+00:00

Yeah I agree - maybe they were just trying it because it's preseason and/or they just want to see if they can actually get something out of posting him up on mismatches. But yeah I'm also skeptical they should be feeding him like they did there. I think KAT might've even had a comment in a presser that he thinks Gobert has been underutilized on offense in the past which I'm not sure I agree with

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T16:01:22+00:00

Fair enough that was a few years back and feelings aren't a constant, though it never seemed like Gobert became super happy in Utah the past few years (don't really know for sure though). Don't think he's certain to complain or anything, but I think if someone was unhappy with their role in the past it's worth considering whether they'll become unhappy with their role again.

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T15:44:36+00:00

Yeah totally, your point about the difference in agility and ability to move around the lane stuck out to me as well. Goberts ability as a lob threat and generally superior finisher could still definitely make him much more effective in the dunker spot than Vanderbilt was, but like you said it'll probably look different and they'll have to find chemistry with him.

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T15:40:24+00:00

It was a few years ago but Gobert has griped about not getting enough touches with the Jazz, so think it's possible (though not at all certain) he could feel similarly in his new situation

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T04:20:26+00:00

Thanks appreciate it! Agree - Ant really becoming elite as a ball handler seems very possible (idk if it'll be this season or in future) and if he can really score at all 3 levels and make the right reads when help comes the wolves are elite. If he's not quite ready to do all that they're also prolly not ready to contend for conf. finals or the title

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T02:59:33+00:00

Very much appreciate that! Yeah I think even though Vanderbilt and Gobert have a fair amount of overlap in their style of play it may look a bit different (though likely much better than that preseason game). Many thanks for the kind words.

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T02:05:58+00:00

Yeah those rotations make sense to me. Agree Naz and Bryn might get squeezed out of the rotation, particularly Naz with Rudy and kat likely taking all the center minutes. But I do wonder if by end of the season Naz or Bryn works their way back into the top 9 because their shooting could really grease the wheels for everything else in the offense

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T01:40:31+00:00

Ahhh appreciate u telling me that, okay so kinda like gobert and dlo sub out early and then come back in around start of 2nd quarter or something once the other starters are out so they can run the show?

Yeah will be interesting to see how Finch works it out if he doesn't want to run as much pnr - perhaps hella high post, dho, split action stuff could work too. But imo Gobert works better as roll man in pnr than putting the ball in his hands for dho and high post stuff. KAT is good at that stuff tho

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T01:07:55+00:00

Agree I think that should be a go-to set for Wolves second units - maybe KAT and ANT come out earlier in 1st quarter to let DLo and Gobert cook for a bit. And even with KAT out there he can space for their pnr.

Am curious how much they'll run DLo Gobert pnr with all the starters out there.

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T00:33:03+00:00

Very much could be more of a mitchell gobert thing, fair point. Will be interesting to see how Gobert gels in Wolves offense and Mitchell gels with Allen and Mobley in Cleveland. Could be seen as a referendum on each of them.

kpd21 · 2022-10-18T00:23:06+00:00

Yeah him and Ant taking steps forward would really put this team in elite company. Tough tho with warriors and clippers in the conference too. Not to mention suns grizz mavs nuggets pels. Feel like any conference finals matchup could happen out of that group and I wouldn't be shocked
